Started with logging foods and exercise on MyFitnessPal and walking 3x week for 30 minutes. Everything else stemmed from that commitment. I put bariatric surgery on indefinite hold. I've joined TOPS for support. I'm seeing my doctor monthly. I've shared (hopefully not too often or obnoxiously) to get support from friends. My commitments now: stick to logging and 3-5x week walking. Limit choices to items less than 15mg sugar. I'm aiming at 1600 calories on average (food minus exercise). My goal is to keep this level of commitment through June by which time I should have leveled off at some weight resembling normal (normal BMI for my height is below 180) -- the doctor and I will decide what's reasonable and doable, 180 is a soft goal as of the moment.

I know I won't keep losing 4-5 lbs a week, my goal is 2 lbs a week. I'm trying eat all of my calories but I don't want to add a bunch of late evening calories. I'm not hungry. I'm not craving.
