142 pounds gone! going for 40 more. my picture story.

I ve been overweight my entire life. When I got my drivers license I weighed in at 360 at age 16. I hit 400 pounds the end of my freshman year of college(2006). I was able to get down to 300 pounds in 2008. By the end of 2009 I was back at 365. I have slowly since 2010 tried to watch what I eat and work out. I am down to 260 and have been stuck at this weight all year. I have not given up hope. I want to weight 230. I ve never really focused on eating as I have tried to eat less and make healthier choices. I am the worlds pickiest eater as I eat no fruit. Any supportive comments would be appreciative as I go for another 30 pounds!

    What a great job!

    Picky to me doesn't mean "not eating fruit..."

    I'm picky like "Salad dressing on the side," "no lemon in my tea, please," "no onions on my sandwich..."


    You're doing so good - is this your first try on MFP?

    I'm not a big fruit eater either, that's not going to tank you :) just up your veggie count! I have discovered pink grapefruit with stevia sprinkled on it though, and that seems to help with the whole fibre issue lol.
  • Good for you! It is awesome to see pictures that document another person's journey. :) Keep up the great work.

    This is actually my second profile. I had one a year or two ago and lost a few pounds and gave up.
