    Well done! You can do this! I agree that setting small life changes one at a time is the key. Trying to completely change everything at one time can be overwhelming. You have my support! Feel free to add me if you like. :wink: YAY YOU!

    Congrats on the weight loss! You are definately going about it the right way. I started at about 355 (to the best of my knowledge) and was 293.5 when I weighed last Friday. I weigh once a week and record it on MFP. I am doing the Nutrisystem plan. I started just watching what I was eating and than started exercising about 4 weeks later. Pretty soon I hope to do some light weight lifting. Keep up the good work!

    Highest of fives, my dear! It's the "smaller victories" (the pants that aren't as tight, walking just that wee bit longer...) along the way that are the best part. You worked hard for this :)

    I did the same I guessed at my starting point I was about 360, when I did find scales, I was closer to 390
    that moment was hard, but I've been at it for a while and I'm down considerably, I added you, I wish you good luck and look forward to seeing more of you your success!

    This post is awesome. I really admire that you managed to keep going for 2 months without seeing those numbers drop on the scale! Keep going, as people have said you are very inspiring.

    You have done amazingly well. Once I made my decision to lose weight half way through last year, I decided to do it "my way". No diets, surgery, pills etc. So far I have lost 40 kilos. I came across a video the other day which is truly inspirational and I hope you get some benefit from watching it. http://robbinsmadanescoachtraining.com/weight-loss-and-the-secret-of-profound-change/#comments

    That is absolutely wonderful news! Thank you for sharing. Everyone starts somewhere and goin slow is best. You are completely correct in that trying to do too much at once is a recipe for failure. I'm proud of the progress you have made, it is no easy task.
    I recently started using MFP again after a long hiatus. I, too, am looking for support. Anyone is welcome to add me...we can take this journey together!
