I started with MFP and my weight loss journey on 21 January 2013. I weighed in at a whopping 342 pounds. At my last weigh in on 4 March, I was 299 pounds and it just hit me, that's 43 pounds in 43 days! Now I'm a realist and I know I won't continue on this pace forever, but I just wanted to say that MFP and all of my MFP friends have been a great asset in my journey so far and I know with the site and my friends I will be able to hit my goal of 100 pounds and keep it off. So thanks to all of you and any one can feel free to friend me.

    How long do you go on the Wii...you seem to average about a 1500 calorie burn per day.

    That is fantastic!! I have never heard of anyone losing weight so quickly. I bet you feel so much better. What an excellent result. Mine is coming off VERY slowly. I am down 29 lbs in 4 months. You have no idea how fortunate you are. You'll be at your goal weight sooner than you think!! Congratulations.

    I'm up to about 100 minutes on the Wii and 1300 calories burned.

    I also have a bad knee so the Wii has been a great tool to allow me to customize the workouts around the knee.
