I started with MFP on January 21, 2013. Starting weight was 342. A lot of hard work and much better eating has paid off. Gone from XXXL shirts to XXL and even some XL, 48-50 waist pants, to 40. Quit smoking quite just over 2 months ago and have lost over 20lb since then. I can honestly say that there is not way I would have got this far, this fast without the support, motivation and inspiration of my MFP friends as well success stories have seen on the boards. It's not easy, but sooooooooo worth the effort!
