in Health and Weight Loss
I recently found out my weight had ballooned to 395. Like many others...I never wanted to weigh myself unless I had too (like physicals). So that being said I am hoping to loose an entire person. My goal weight right now is 220. So that means a loss of 175 pounds. I know I have a long road ahead of me, I dont expect miracles overnight, and so I started my journey by putting one food in front of the other (and trying to keep my hands from reaching my face..LOL). I m 2 weeks in now...but still havent weighed in yet...probally next week. I can feel the changes though, I have added another notch to my belt so it would tighten correctly. I feel the extra energy. I set my calories (after discussing it with my dr) at 1600. He told me I could go anywhere between 1200 and 2200 so I shot for the middle. So everybody link arms and sing with me...follow the skinny line road...follow the skinny line road.....

    My first three wives had the same goal -- to lose a whole person. I hope you are as successful as they were.

    Follow the skinny lined road! Love it, and welcome aboard. It is not easy to lose 50# let alone 175#, but with the want and right motivation, you can do this :happy: I wish you the best of luck and remember that the people here are here for support, so if you feel down, talk...or type.:wink: Good luck!

    You've started this journey on the BEST foot ever w/ having MFP as a tool. I wish when starting mine, I would have known about this. But, I know you can do it and I wish you the best of luck!

    I remember how I felt when I was able to tighten my belt for the first time. The more changes I saw, the more I wanted to see. It felt really good going from a size 24/26 to a size 20. I gained some weight so now I'm a 22 so I'm back to lose it all now.
