    Yep 60lbs to lose. It's gonna take a while. I can't exercise but rolling around in my wheelchair gets my arms going. Foods playing an important part and food scales . I'm re-education myself.

    Yes, I still have about 100 more pounds to lose even though I've already lost 59 pounds since January 1, 2017 when my weight was 317. I eat 2,000 calories/day with my macros set to 30% carbs, 30% protein & 40% fat, which seems to work best for me. My exercise is limited (for the time being) to 30-45min of walking once or twice a week when it's not too hot outside (I don't eat back my exercise calories). I typically do my weigh-ins on Mondays (for the time being, but will change to Wednesdays in July) and add that info to my diary notes.

    I'm a Type2 diabetic having meals every 3 hours from 9am to 6pm and using MyFitnessPal to log my meal times, what I ate & drank, my insulin dosage & blood sugar measurements at each meal along with other notes for the day.

    Note: my diary is public & I've logged "everything" since May 22, 2017.

    I have about 80 to lose. Down 4. Slowly but surely it will go down. Daily logger and weekly weigher here. Helps keep me on track. Feel free to add me. I do log everything though .....food, water, weight, exercise, daily activity (I work behind a desk all day so it's hard to know exactly how active I have been during the day). Feel free to add me. :)

    Currently at 209 and trying to get to 145. Down from 270. Frustrating when you eat 1200 calories a day and exercise consistently and the scale won't budge.

    Wow db121215, that's very impressive!

    I'll join as well. I'm 270lbs (122.3kg) and want to loose 140lbs, so I end up in the middle of my best bmi. I've got a horse waiting until I drop below the 220lbs, because untill then I'm not going to ride him. Even though he's a big boy (just over 6ft and an ideal weight of 1800 pounds) I still think my excessive weight is in my and therefore his way when riding. So I've got a lovely in between goal at 50lbs. Since I've started I've lost 5 pounds, so just beginning, but I'm full of good mood.

    Well, this has me on a 1260 diet and I have to follow the Mediterranean lifestyle because it helps with my IBS and fatty liver. I am currently at 230lbs but would like to be about 150 so I would like to lose about 80 lbs...its going to take me some time. I dont really have friends, I work an office job and I am a single mom so ANY communication would be great for me!!!!!

    Totally get where you're at! MFP has been a lifesaver for me! I'm able to able to read up and post questions if I have any.

    Wishing you health and happiness!
