    That is fantastic! Congratulation on your loss so far. One thing is for sure. IF you stay under your calorie goal you will lose weight.
    Best wishes!

    Welcome, Dave!
    Go to "Getting Started" and read through all the "pinned" articles,
    and as you do, questions will arise. Do a 'search' on your interests,
    so that you can understand what's going on in your body, and how
    other folks are getting rid of 100+ pounds.
    I like to hang around the Success Stories and Maintaining Weight forums,
    to get examples of good attitudes and practices.
    Best wishes!

    Good luck, man. MFP has helped me prevent from over eating in calories. I never really used to eat that much before, just everything I ever ate was really unhealthy. Growing up in California, Mexican food is like an every other day thing (refried beans, cheese on everything, fried foods, etc.). It's amazing how one of the meals I used to eat before practically amounted to the entire daily calorie amount that I'm eating nowadays.

    I have also cut alcohol, not only until I lose weight, but until I get in shape as well. I will still never give up on the alcohol after my goal. I mean... some Italian food and a nice Syrah, some sushi and Sake (these things keep my mouth watering and me motivated to be able to have them again).

    Keep up the good work and do not concern your self with time. Took time to put it on and it will take time to kick it off . . .

    I do not know why people say they are big boned. I usually go with the term, "I am not fat I just am short for my weight." Which is not a lie at all.
