Met another milestone today 70lbs gone!
I've got a long way to go still but I reached 70lbs down today. I've basically just changed my diet and been mindful of what I eat.

New to this
22, used to eat whatever I wanted and keep some abs. Doctors put me on meds that I didn't need and ruined my metabolism, causing me to gain close to 45 pounds. I never really learned how to do any of this because I didn't need to. If anything people joked I needed to gain weight, but I feel it was too much.

I lost 100 lbs on MFP and now want to coach. Rate my coaching brochure?
MFP forums are where I got my weight-loss started, and I learned SO much from these threads (especially the recipe ones, the Maintenance ones, etc).
