This is my story so far. I am 51 years old. I have been over 200 lbs since the 1995 birth if my son. Every year it has gone up with the last ten or so being in the 260's. Like so many of us here,I thought and despaired over this daily. Most of my attempts didn't even last a day. I'll be honest, nothing really clicked this time around, it was just yet another try. What I did though, was try to be better prepared. I thought about what didn't work for me in the past and what I could do to be the most successful. Calorie counting was something I could do and MFP is a lifesaver to me, my friends on here have been awesome too! Another great help has been my husband, who is also doing this with me. I can't express how much this helps. He has lost 75 lbs so far!!! Although I do feel successful so far, I will not truly be a success until I maintain my goal weight the rest of my life. I kind of look at it as a disease I have to control. Good luck and best wishes to all of you. Here are my stats and pics ( I hope)

    Congratulations. I am close to goal weight and have maintained within a five pound range now for about 7 months now and let me tell you, it is hard work. I hope you are lifting weights or doing something to tone as well, that has been a life saver for me. And BTW, I am 54.
