90 days and down 29 pounds!

I just happened to stumble across MFP while looking for a recipe converter (wanted to know how many calories in a recipe). I thought I'd give it a shot I had nothing to loose except weight! I have had success with other "fad" diets but nothing long term. At one time I was 317 pounds but have managed to stay at 260ish for the last few years. Well I'm happy to report that this is working long term. My wife started a week after I did and has also had success. (I don't think I could do this without her) Lost 20 pounds so far and my next goal is 13 more to hit 220. May want to push for 200 after that which puts me in the "normal" range at 6' 3". I have giving up a few things like Pepsi, my drink of choice, but don't really miss it. I do indulge once in a while but the craving have pretty much stopped. Guess I just want everyone to know this works if you stick with it. We do walk a lot and have for years but its nice getting the extra calories when we do (we only use 1/2 of less of the exercise calories).

Well good luck everyone, just remember to be honest with yourself, if you cheat your only fooling yourself.
