    Good luck! I started on January 3rd along with a weight loss boot camp program at my gym. I am down 20 pounds since I started and I look and feel much better. I would say that at least 50% - 75% of my weight loss has come from changing the way I eat.

    I plateaued this week with my weight loss and it was extremely frustrating. I had been loosing about 3lbs per week and this week I lost none. It happens to everybody and I am going to stick with this until I hit my goal weight.

    Stay strong and stay focused and you will do great!

    I hope you do well. I made a new years resolution to lose 35 pounds by the end of April, in time for a wedding. I have been using myfitnesspal.com on my phone and my computer. Its not easy, but I followed its recommendations without exception every day and I have lost 26 pounds so far. As a guy I understand its easier for me to lose weight, but I have been bouncing up and down for the last 15 years and nothing ever worked. Not Jenny Craig, Not Weight Watchers. This is the lightest I have been in 25 years, down 2 pants sizes and very happy.

    The only difference this time is myfitnesspal. Go for it and don't look back!
