in Introduce Yourself
In August of 2010 I decided that I really needed to lose my weight. I stepped on the scale that morning fully nude and it said 467. That was the highest I have ever been in my life. I have always been fat but had about 2 times where I was considered healthy. I did the right things and have lost 100 pounds so far. My issue is that I hit the 100 pound mark about 9 months ago. I have been fluctuating anywhere from 470 to 485 since.

Continuing to work out is a bit hard right now as I have a current medical issue that prevents any hard workouts. I do walk my dog at least a mile every single day.

I need to get back on track and get back to business. When I weighed myself today, I was 367, back to the original 100 pound lost. I am glad I found this community and I look forward to sharing my progress.

    I also have been sitting at about 100 pound loss for a while but since I came back from vacation I'm ready to go again. I weighed this morning after returning yesterday and it appears I'm down 2 more pounds. I was really worried about gaining while I was gone. Everyone wanted to go to Golden Corral and other places. I even ate at on the border once. But evidently I was able to restrain myself so I am happy to see the results. I have come to the conclusion that to gain you have to go over every day for several days. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.

    100 pounds is a GREAT thing. Sounds like your heading in the right direction. Doing it the MFP way is a little slower but that's how it should be done. You will love this site, the people are great and the support is amazing I was gone for awhile and started back up a few weeks ago. Feel free to friend me if you like. We all need the support. Good luck to you on your weight lose journey.

    Welcome! Congratulations on your weight loss so far! I've seen firsthand the benefit of eating healthy and losing weight. A lil over a year ago my hubby was nearly 500 pounds. Today he's lost 180 pounds. And he's still going. He has reversed almost all of his medical conditions and his blood work numbers are amazing. My youngest son was nearly 300 pounds and is now at a healthy 165 pounds. All this with clean, healthy eating and exercise. No matter what, don't give up! Continue to move forward. I wish you the best of luck on your endeavor!
