    Fantastic and well done. You look so happy and healthy. And having goals along the way helps a lot. I know. Right now I am using MFP to maintain my weight loss. I love this app. Keep up the good work.

    Well done you! Best thing I ever did was lose 105 lbs so keep believing in you! It is great to see that you acknowledge a slowing but keep moving past it - that is the way forward! Amazing!

    Maybe a weird way to think about it, but it's the first time in a while for me that I have needed to lose less than a hundred pounds to get to my "ultimate goal weight". This year has been incredible for my weight loss. I didn't believe that I could do it or that I could keep doing it. I've lost almost 50 pounds before, but I've never kept going like this. I've hit a bit of a slow point (partly some bad choices, partly natural weight cycle) but I am still tracking, still going to the gym, and still ready to keep doing what it takes to lose weight.

    Highest Weight: 333 pounds
    Starting Weight (1/1/2020): 310 pounds
    Current Weight (10/5/2020): 240 pounds
    Goal Weight: Less than 180
    Ultimate goal weight: 155 pounds

I've been on MFP a long time and you are the 1st person I've ever sent a friend request. Please keep sharing and caring for your well-being.

    HOLY COOKIES!!! THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!

    I'm the same height but my lifetime high was 264 lbs, now down to 212 lbs, and I'm in my 50's. Trying to not obsess too much to keep my program sustainable, so its about 42 lbs in a year. Also I don't want to lose weight too quickly at my age because I worry about skin elasticity and winding up looking like "Fat B*stard" at the end of the Austin Powers comedy series after he lost 200+ lbs.

    But I was hovering around 240 for a couple of (non-dieting) years before the spike to 260, so I totally 'get' where you are now in terms of body weight and proportion. That's where I was...I think around the start of the pandemic lockdowns. Getting to where I am now is totally do-able from where you are now.

    I find one of my biggest problems sustaining effort this long doing a slow-loss-rate is logging-fatigue. Sometimes I have to take a couple of weeks to a month off and just "wing it" instead of weighing and logging everything. It's not a month of cheat days in the sense of profligate eating, it's just a break from the constant measurement and recording. So if you start to develop logging fatigue this is a way to deal with it that you can try to see if it works for you too.

    Luckily I have a scale that uploads to the web automatically so it's easy to keep weighing and become more disciplined again if my weight creeps up during the 'break'.
