Hi! Looking for friends that are on the journey to lose 100+ pounds.

Thanks y'all! I appreciate the responses! I started out on 1/1/15 at 305. I want to get down to 150. I have been setting small goals, such as weekly goals of loosing 2 pounds and 90 day goals of 30 pounds. So far so good. I actually had to take a few days off work just to come off cokes and sweet tea. After starting with MFP I found that I was drinking almost 3000 calories a day but only eating about 800 calories. I let go of a few other things that I loved, like McDonald's burgers for lunch and kiddie cereal with milk as a late night snack, and exchanged it for healthy options. I won't buy anything with ingredients that I can't say or spell. I won't buy anything with more than a few ingredients. No sugars, but mainly no sugar substitutes so I don't crave sweets. I stay out of the aisles at the grocery store and only go around the edges which are produce and meats and dairy. I am married so he had to agree to make the change with me because I took all of the food in my kitchen that was processed to the food kitchen. My husband is Italian so I could not take away all his cheese and pasta, so I changed it for better choices. I use organic or yogurt cheeses and when I can I Julianne zucchini or use spaghetti squash for pasta. Otherwise I use pasta made from veggie starch or quinoa. My goal is to increase my protein and have my calories come from protein rather than carbs or fat. I use 50:30:20 as my guideline which is protein:carbs:fat. I work out, but started out very small and am still building up. I use kettle bells for weights and try to build muscles. Not that I am to be a body builder, but I need to tone up and muscle burns more calories. I started out on the elliptical at 0.25 miles and have now built up to 1.0 miles with 3 running bursts. Of all the books I read, I recommend The Skinny Rules most. Thanks again! Let me know how your system is different.
