    Wow, your story is really inspirational. And really quite close to my own experience with WW. I really couldn't stand eating about 1200 a day and still plateauing. I was hungry ALL the time and nothing seemed to help. I quit WW, lost a few more lbs on my own using MFP but even MFP had me really low as well, and I'm always shy of "eating back" exercise calories because I don't have an accurate way to measure them. So I stopped tracking and ended up gaining a bit back.

    But I found help through the forums, about TDEE and all that. I'm now doing NROL4W and eating about 1900 a day as a slight deficit. I hope I'm getting my metabolism on track, and I can only hope that my results would be close to yours!

    Thanks for sharing.

    Yours is one of the 'stories' I wanted to read but had not seen it until today.

    It really is a huge inspiration to me, My journey, so far, has mirrored yours quite a bit, in fact the only difference is you did the official WW thing and I kinda did my own version (too embarrassed to go in person) I am now going down the more recent stretch of your journey with the weight training and if I get half the results you have I will be very happy.

    I notice that you have left (I had noticed I hadn't seen you post for a while but didn't realise you had actually left) I hope that you pop on still and see my comments as I would really like you to know that you truly inspire me to carry on doing what I am doing.

    I wish you good luck in all you do.

    you are a huge inspiration and I want to add you ( we have the same stats!!) and it says you deactivated your account :( very sad.

    she probably would've liked you

    and by probably i mean 'definitely.'

    and by liked, i mean "hated."

    Would love to, but she deactivated. :-( I was wondering why I hadn't seen her around the forums... I miss her too.
