    Congrats.
    Toot that horn some more!

    Loved how you acknowledged the pain going away and the other healthy benefits, too many stories focus on the weight loss alone.

    U look amazing. . Secret behind your weight loss pleaseeee

    Thank you! No secret, really. I just used the app. No special diet or anything. I eat pretty much the same stuff, just in smaller portions. I do exercise, but it's more to retain as much LBM as I can (strength training) and for general health. And so I can eat more, haha. Well, that's why I started anyway, but now I just enjoy it. ^^

    As for calories, I started at the 2 pounds a week setting, which was NET 1500 cal for me, and that was good for a while but about 30 lbs in I started to feel some loss of motivation and energy from having it so low (2 lbs a week was almost down to 1200 cal by then) so I upped it gradually and ended up at NET 1,800 which is somewhere between 1.5 and 1 lb loss a week. When the weight loss slows down below a pound a week, I'll probably tweak it down again. But for me, it's all about finding an intake number where I'm losing but I still feel good. I'd rather lose it slow than be miserable. :)

    TOOT AWAY! You're doing phenomenally -- and I especially love the fact that it's not just about losing weight for you, it's about getting healthy, and discovering the athletic side of you. And as a BONUS, you do look amazing! Congratulations on your approaching Onederland and being that much closer to your goal.

    The "Success Stories" boards are always my favorite, and the most helpful for me. I've just returned to MFP, and I absolutely cannot wait until it's time to post my own. Keep up the great work!
