Started at 127 --> 91,6 as of today. My goal is 86. Followed the suggested calory per day from MFP throughout, although with some rules:
  • Calories burned are logged manually, and I always underestimate them. For example, if my Garmin watch tell me that I burned 200 calories from a stroll, I log 170-180.
  • I make a basic salad (lettuce, tomato, cucumber) that I have with my dinner every day. And I don't count the calories. I noticed early on that I tended to skip salad in order to have a little bit more of the good stuff.
  • I walk every day. I have two dogs and a baby, so this part was really easy to uphold.

    Thank you! I'm pretty confident I'll reach my goal in 2-3 months time. But I imagine that I will have to keep using MFP for a long time after that as well, in order to stabilize my weight and learn how to live my life without putting on weight again. Not worried though, this method has really worked for me.

    I am glad you found something that really works for you. I think you will be able to make your goal as well. Good luck and keep up the awesome work!

    My kids are certainly a big reason for losing the weight, for sure. I was also noticing some ominous signs. Elevated HbA1c values, hypertension, big gut --> metabolic syndrome. Scary stuff. Also started to have trouble being active. Got plantar fasciitis from jogging, had to stop for almost 6 months. So a myriad of different motivations played a role here.
