finally in one-derland after 8 years!

I have lost 44 pounds since staring MFP in Jan. 2013. It has made dieting easy for me. It taught me about portion control and how much I should be eating, since portions keep getting larger and larger. I have come a long way in 6 months. I started this when my wife began losing weight, sammie121403, using MFP and I had to try it out. I am glad I did! I still have another 20 pounds to lose and then I will begin to tone up. But as for now, I feel amazing knowing I have dropped below 200, whihc I have not been under 200 in 8 years (college and then a desk job did not help).
