Great goal. I lost 98 pounds a few years ago using other methods and gained back 30 after a back injury. I kept working out and couldn't figure out how to control the diet based on my exercise and always found a way to gain weight. Since on MFP, I've lost 14 on my way to getting rid of the 30. I like it because I can workout hard, and then know exactly what that means to my caloric intake for that day. So, I get the extra calories to recover, but don't get too many. I trust you will find the same. BTW, when 100lbs heavier, I found walking was a great exercise. I did it until I got bored out of my mind. It was then that I started jogging the down hill parts of my 3 mile walk. Then, I started running 1 mile of the 3 miles...etc...etc. Now, I have done triathlons, duathlons, century bike rides, and run 4 miles several times a week, and bike several times a week. You will be glad to be on MFP as you will always know what you can and cannot do calorie wise in relation to your weight. Best of luck, happy shrinking!0
