    Awesome! I need to lose around 100lbs. Any tips?

    Whole natural almonds helped me a ton. They are filling, protein rich, low carb, and easy to take with you. As for a tip on using this website, I would really recommend recording all your calories every day, even if you have a "cheat day" or go way over your calories for whatever reason. Record all caloric intake, regardless of if you are proud or ashamed of it. And don't weigh yourself daily, it's extremely frustrating.

    I think it's amazing that it took you less than a year to lose that much weight! I have about that to lose and I keep thinking years not months. You have given me hope that by this time next year I too could have reached or almost reached my goal.

    WOW!! That is amazing! Good for you! I'm just starting out and I want to lose 90lbs so it's great to see people like you showing it can be done. What were some of the things you liked best or found most helpful? I saw what you said about recording calories even when you don't want to, I kind of did the same thing when I was starting, took me a few days before I got close to my calorie range but it sure was an eye opener.

    Hi

    I am a 58 year old woman in New Zealand and found it quite a chore to walk just one kilometre a few months ago.

    Over the past 3 months I have been building up my walking time and at the weekend walked 5km on Saturday (for the first time!) and another 2km yesterday - the total for January is currently at 15km.

    I also bought a cheap treadmill to walk at home when the weather is poor and use it when I watch TV - better than sitting.

    My favourite toy is a Heart Rate Monitor watch which shows me what my heart is doing while I am exercising - it is a Suunto M4 and has a built in fitness program so I don't even need to work one out for myself - it builds my fitness to the next (minor) goal and then lets me know when I have achieved it.

    I follow the MFP recommendations for calorie intake and I feel great as a result of the exercise. My starting weight was 270 lbx and due to that my back also plays up - I fund the walking actually helped my back and also helps me to get better sleep
