    :) Fantastic! Welcome! Use this as a guide - but not a definite knowledge - and learn all that you can about the ways the body, food, hormones, and energies in yourself work together.

    Take each day, each meal, as its own victory. Had a good day? Fabulous! Had a bad day? Find one good thing about it and congratulate yourself on it - then focus on making the next meal, the next day, the next choice something that you will congratulate yourself for. :smile:

    Thank you for doing this for yourself - your body is amazing and you are giving it a chance to really shine!

    I wish I would have taken pics when I was 230+ and started losing. The "after" photos are so dramatic.
    Good luck, keep that smile.

    That's damn impressive, you couldn't get me to put my before photos on here with a gun to my head. Great attitude right out of the gate, I'd wish you luck but I don't think you'll need it.

    Welcome! I started MFP around 2 months ago and have lost 17 pounds so far along with exercising. It is amazing watching the weight come off when you pay attention to every little thing you put in your mouth, sure makes you think if things you crave are really worth it too. I love this ap. I wish you the best of luck. I'm a lot like you, I started out my weight loss journey on Jan 10, 2012 weighing in at 264 pounds, Now on May 28 I weigh in at 223. Within a few months I am down 40 pounds, just proves you can do anything you put your mind to, just got to stick with it. I wish you the best.

    Congratulations on beginning this journey! I have been on MFP for quite a while now and am down about 20 lbs. It has taken a bit of tweaking to find what works for me and I hit a road bump when I was recently diagnosed as pre-diabetic, which explained why I had stopped losing weight. I am determined to accomplish my goal, which is to reach a healthy weight and maintain it with proper diet and exercise. Remember, it took a long time to get to where you are, and it will take a while to undo it, but it will be worth the effort!
