How? I plan to lose at least half of my goal amount of weight within a year. I'm at my highest right now 230-233. I want to be at 180 Max. Any tips? I've already cut soda out and Im on mfp now to watch my calorie intake

I tried to stay as close as possible to 1200 calories a day. I usually had at least one day a week where I would "cheat", but I tracked everything I ate and drank and tried to make up for it the next day or by doing an extra run. I got a Fitbit on August 15 of last year and I've never had less than 10,000 steps in a day since then (I'm usually around 15k average), and I run at least five miles a week. Its a lot of work, and a lot of discipline, but now I'm healthier, happier, and have more energy than I ever did in my 20s.

Thank you everyone for the nice words, its so awesome to hear encouragement from like-minded individuals who get how hard it is
