    Count me in aboard the accountability train also! Went to the doctor last Friday & when I heard that I was 357 pounds I immediately started feeling absolutely disgusted at myself for allowing this. This is the 3rd day now on my journey to lose at least 100 pounds. I’ve been eating between 500-800 calories while limiting my carbs to under 30 grams daily. Walked 5+ miles on my days off Sunday & today & plus I usually average between 3-5 miles on my feet daily while at work. Lets motivate each other towards our goals!

    You really need to be eating a LOT more... You should be aiming for the calories MFP tells you, not less. You WILL crash & burn (or have other consequences, medically) if you are really eating 500-800 calories a day :disappointed: : There is a TON of information on this site (see the "stickies"- read them!)
    Good luck :smile:

    Hi. I'm in if that's cool. Self motivated this time. I'm a big, 400lbs, but fit guy. Need to lose the fat though or it'll affect my health because of sports I do. Had a car crash four years ago and back has been bad but I've been back to the gym for a few weeks now. Lost about a stone but shape improved a lot. Hoping to lose 150lbs maybe
    I'm David by the way.

    I’m glad we can hold each other accountable! Weight loss journeys are no joke! It definitely helps if you have someone to ask advice to. Thanks for responding everyone :)
