    I have been with myfitnesspal for 2 weeks and I love this app. I'm like you with the mini goals. But instead of looking at how much weight I have lost I tend to go to clothes that are 1 or 2 sizes smaller then I am at the moment and try to get those to fit me comfortably (not to tight or to lose) and that's my weight loss goals I have set for myself. I go out and buy one shirt and one pair of pants that's a size smaller and I hang them in my bedroom to motivate me. Reading your story just now just motivated me even more. My start weight was 284 and right now I am at 278. My train of thought is the slower you lose the weight the longer it stays off.

    You have done an amazing job. I feel every single thing you did, was the best you could have chosen! The hardest thing for me is the time it takes.. But I must be patient, as I have no alternative. I am surely going to die if I don't lose the weight. I will remember your story, and it will help me see what is possible. I'm "old", but I can still achieve. You look amazing and I'm sure you feel even better! I'm so glad you did this before you got all kinds of health problems like I have. WAY TO GO!!!

    @dinobomp Thank you so much for the kind words!! Some of these comments honestly bring me tears, I am so thankful that my story is helping others :) Be patient... it takes a lot of time and dedication, day in and day out... but if I can do it, YOU can do it!
