Hi,

I have been on a diet for seven months and I have lost 63 pounds!! I started at 239 pounds and I now weight 176!
I started on my diet in mid June 2011 and so far have lost 63 pounds. I have always been over weighted and I finally decided to do something about it. I found out that I made my high schools marching band in June, and that started my weight loss. I found the myfitnesspal app on my phone and started using it. I lost around five pounds a week and now weigh 176 pounds!

Thank you for reading!

    Speaking from experience you really did a good thing for yourself to lose the weight now. I was over 200 in high school and never really lost weight the right way or watched what I ate. Now I'm over 300 at 25 and wish I would have done something then!

    Way to go man, don't give it up either it's a life long change :)

    I wish I had done that for myself when I was 17. I was in marching bad too. And I tell you a Bari sax is heavy enough without the extra 50 or so pounds I was carrying around!

    Great job! I loved marching band, even if they made us do pushups when we were 'bad'. I met really awesome friends during my time in. You look very good!

    Well done! You should be so proud! I know I'm proud of you. There's so many of us that wish we would have nipped our weight problem a lot sooner. So the fact that you turned it around at such a young age is awesome.
