Work in progress - 342 lbs to 280 lbs in 3 months!

Options
My name is Magda, I'm 35, have been living in England for 9 years, originally from Poland. I've been obese ever since I remember, tried losing weight and failed more times I dare to count... I joined MFP in January 2013 and gave up after a week...

After Christmas 2013 I hit an all time low (or high!) when my scale read 342 lbs!!! I decided that I'd had enough of being fat, the biggest wherever I go and that this time I would do it! I changed my whole way of living and started logging with MFP on New Year's Day 2014.

I haven't cheated once, had no sweets, biscuits, cakes or fizzy drinks. I plan my food ahead and pre log it to be accountable. I pre log exercise for the same reason. I don't eat after 7 pm. I do cardio on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays & strength on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. I rest on Sundays.

It's the longest I've stuck to any weight loss regime ever and I'm seeing results! I'm losing weight without starvation, surgery or pills. I don't remember last time I was so happy!

I know I still have a looong way to go but for the first time in my life I know I will do it!!!
