I weighed in at 302 and now I'm at 285. I only weigh myself every Sunday. I stopped fast food and stopped drinking anything but water. MFP has helped me gain control again and I'm headed to 185!!

    Wow, that is rather fast. Out of curiosity, how many calories are you netting per day?

    I work about 60 hours a week and I don't get a lot of time for exercising. I am netting 1400 calories a day and a lot of my weight was because I ate fast food and lots of diet coke. I eat egg beaters for breakfast, an apple for a snack, a salad for lunch, or I have a 6"turkey subway sub on wheat and baked chips, for dinner a boneless pork chop or chicken breast and steamed frozen veggies in a cheese sauce. Green giant in the frozen food!

    Thanks. When I weighed in at 302 I said enough is enough. My 4 year old daughter is everything to me and I need to do whatever it takes to make myself healthy and be around to watch her grow up. I am making my life healthier and better one decision at a time. I haven't had perfect days everyday but I can't work on this a week at a time. It's one decision at a time.

    I just started so my weight will go fast at the beginning. You are just plateauing for a while. Don't lose sight of your goal! Keep eating healthy and exercising. You are gonna get there and feel great in the process!!
