I started this year with a 75 lb weight loss goal. I weighed 316 lbs at 5'8". I thought it was impossible. I had lost that much weight in the past but I just didn't see it happening. I was so miserable and knew I needed a change. Now I look back and realize how far I've come. I'm down 63 lbs in 20 weeks and 12 lbs away from my goal. After I hit my goal I'm going for 100 lbs. Just know that nothing is impossible. "Motivation gets you started, habit keeps you going"

    Best advice for what I've done, log everything. I kept my calories low, lots of protein, little fat. I tried to exercise at least an hour a day, but any little bit helps. I learned that fitness pal really helps as long as I stay under my calorie goal and nutrition wise stayed out of the red I was consistently losing 2-3 lbs a week.
