Hi, so I started seriously back on MFP at the end of November 2017 at 285 lbs. I felt like crap and had bad lower back pain doing any little bit of exercise or house work.
I'm happy to say that I've hit the 50 lbs milestone and am now at 235lbs. I still have a ways to go, another 85 lbs give or take to goal, but I no longer have any back pain and am starting to fit in all of my smaller sister's clothes which is a huge bonus! :smiley:

    Wow, way to go! You look great and you look happy! I was around the same starting weight and height, so this is motivating! You mentioned CICO, what is that?

    Great job! You look awesome. It's funny how weight is distributed because your current pic does not look like you are over 200lbs!

    Haha hmmm I guess the top 3 things that work for me is that I save most of my calories for evening because I hate going to bed hungry, stick to my calorie goal as best I can, and...weigh everything
