I also used MFP to track my food!. I eventually got down to 170 pounds and ran my first 10k race!. I have alot more to say about my story so if anyone has questions or would like to add me, go ahead!!.

    Well I started out making sure I had written everything out on paper!. I made a weight loss chart with the dates I would weigh in on every Sunday. Then I would write out a workout plan. When I first started it would be something like "Monday:Jog & Power90 workout, Tuesday Jog & jumping jacks, then more power 90." Something like that. It's important to write down a weight loss chart to see your progress and a workout plan to know what you are going to do every day of the week!. For my diet, I started with portion control. I would eat smaller portions of everything, I would also read the nutrition facts before ANYTHING went into my mouth lol. I drank lots of water too!. An example of my daily meals would be like this "Breakfast: 1cup of original Cheerios with a sliced up banana, about a couple hours later I'd have a small snack like an apple or a nutri grain bar then Lunch: Lean cuisine meal, String cheese and an apple. For dinner I'd have something very similar. I'd have a Healthy Choice meal with a String Cheese and 1 cup of V8 Original and a nutri grain bar and then no food after 8. I consistently ate like that for about five months and I had lost around 80 pounds with a cleaned up diet and plenty of exercise!.
