Massive is a bummer of a word, but I guess it applies! I didn't do anything crazy, in fact I tried to choose a way of eating and living that I enjoyed and felt like I could do forever without feeling punished or tortured. Begin as you mean to go on, as they say. So I went moderate instead of going for fast. I made room for treats I liked and threw out the all or nothing perfectionist thinking I used to do. So if I messed up one meal or one day, I just restarted right away, no guilt or self-punishment. I eat holiday meals and enjoy them without thinking of calories, but the rest of the day is normal and I'm back to it the next day. I go out with friends and on those occasions I do try to be mindful, but I don't avoid living my life.
Treat this as learning how to live in a better way rather than as a means to a goal-weight body. And don't focus on the long term, it'll drive you nuts.0 -
BTW. User "kazzsjourney" is awesome! Follow her example!
I started in 2010 by stopping drinking soda. I continued by practicing portion control. I started counting calories last year. I've been on MFP since Nov 2012 (I don't know why it displays Jan 2012) and I'm loving it. In 2010 when I started, I was somewhere over 390 lbs (upper left hand photo), by this year January, I was mid 280's (lower right hand corner). I'm 272 lbs now. Shooting for 220 lbs. You can do it, dude.
You are so awesome! Great job on your weight loss, and thanks for being such an inspiration!!0 -
I have lost 55 lbs in 6.5 months, just counting calories the first few months lost about 25-30, now I love exercise and am down 55 total, it is all about a lifestyle change and you have to be ready, if your mind is not in it, you will not be successful! I wanna lose about another 19 lbs..I got this, life is good and I feel fantastic. My pic is my progress!0

I have lost 91 pounds in the last 14 - 15 months. My profile is not private and if anyone wishes to see the pictures, there are some there. I just do this one day at a time and now it has gotten to be old hat. I feel bad if I don't exercise for a day. You can do it too...for sure if I can you can!0
