Hello everyone,My name is Ruby.I'm new to MFP. I've lost 113 pounds on my own along with the support of my sister Amy and my family and friends.But I have a long way to go.My goal is to weigh199 pounds.I took small steps on goals.It took me 2 years to lose the weight. The reason I went to MFP is I catch myself to giving up.Cause I hit a plateau.Along with the support of my family maybe I thought MFP would help me with the rest of my journey.When I finish my journey I'm hoping to weigh at least 150 lbs.

    Hi

    First off Congratulations on your success :flowerforyou: Now I Hope you are getting ready to concur the world on this site. I will tell you with some strong determination and the will to succeed you will go far. I have done well by logging all my food. It helps to do it before you eat it (you will be surprise how many calories are in things) I check,check and recheck the calorie content because they are not always accurate on the site. I am not a big exercise person (very hard to fit it in most days) . I work out abit with my WII (too much fun) I started by calorie level at 1200 but after a few weeks I discovered that it was far to low so I brought it up to 1430 and I lose 1 pound a week almost like clockwork. I hit the wall a couple times and did not lose for the week then the following week it got its MoJo back and off it came. I can tell you that I do budget for a treat ( I love Yoplait delights chocolate raspberry) There is a really good web site hungry girl.com tons of recipes for some yummy food (one of my favs is chicken cordon blu ) I really began to have more energy at about 20 pounds off. It is funny because the body changes slowly but its cool to discover all the new things that you have (or to be more exact the things you don’t have) like one less roll on your tummy or hey I forgot I have dimples in my cheeks Again you can do it just hang in there an be patient.

    That is such an inspiring story! You have done awesome so far on your own. I agree that a good support base is an important thing. If you don't have a really good support base a lot of times you give up after a little bit. It feels good to have that "pat" on the back. It makes you want to keep going. Good job on your progress so far. You can reach your goals.
