I'm down almost 40 lbs this year!!! I've lost 20 of those in the last 5 weeks since starting a "Biggest Loser" competition. MFP has been an unbelievable help to me. I really had no idea how many calories I was really taking in. I never imagined my sugar free mochas still had so many calories:(

    40 lbs, good for you!! That is an amazing loss! I know, it's crazy, I don't think anyone had any idea how many calories they were taking in before they started tracking. MFP is the best weight loss tool and it inspires me every day to hear such phenomenal weight loss stories and notice how happy people sound while sharing them.

    Congratulations on your success so far! I never could have done what I am doing without this site..no way. I have tried so many times and this makes it fun and I can still eat somewhat what I like, just have learned what "in moderation" is and my instant reaction is automatic now. I love it.

    That is great, I wish I could loose 40 lbs & you lost 20 of it in 5 weeks! I'm jealous, then again you deserve it. How did you do it! The 5 week loss 20 lbs, I want that, I think it is easier for a guy!

    It was defintiely not easy for me. The calorie counting was a huge key for me. I have the app on my phone and im very diligent about tracking it. I also threw myself into working out almost every day. It's hard work but I'm already loving the payoff:)

    My wife is a cancer survivor and getting myself into better healthy living has taken some of the stress off of her. Another good motivating factor for me.
