    That is my mantra for this year. I sent you a friend request for support and motivation. You can get under 200. Just takes some hard work and dedication.

    I am on the other coast in Maryland. I am in a very similar situation. Started at 220 and around 200 would always fall back into old habits. This time though I have already made it to 190 and still as motivated as when I started. My goal is 170. MFP has made all difference. Logging every bite of food and exercising daily, I have lost 30 pounds in about 7 weeks. Also lloking for friends to help keep me motivated. Please add me and I will add you.

    It is just finding a "reality balance"... What can you realistically do every day and stick with it. I do my 20 minute run nearly every day followed by some stretching and a little strength training with resistance bands in my make shift gym in my basement. I dont pretend to think that I will do a 60 minute boot camp type workout everyday. It (for me) is unrealistic and unsustainable. Counting calories is also hugely impactful for me because I have to seriously consider every bite I put in my mouth; do I want this to go against my daily total.
