Well done so far! The time to take charge of health is definitely now :smile: It's a struggle, but it DOES get easier! Especially with awesome MFP friends! Welcome to the site, I'll send you a request if you'd like to add another friend!

We all start in the same place :smile:

Just turned 28 and trying to lose 90-100lbs... 25lbs down (was 240lbs the day after Christmas when I started!) still so many more to go!

I think it depends how you feel about the scale, and if it will have a negative or positive impact on you. I weigh every morning, but more out of interest (I keep a separate record just because I'm a spreadsheet junkie). I don't find this detrimental as I don't get upset by the upward fluctuations as long as the overall…

You're doing great! Scales are just a number after all - its how you feel and look that tells you how well you're doing :smile:

I ate what I wanted (within reason) but logged all the calories. Don't deprive yourself on your birthday - feeling deprived always breaks down my will power! Remember you've earned it :smile:

There are many amazing stories on this thread that have inspired me and given me the confidence to start my own journey - so many brave people willing to share their experiences! Have been terrified of committing to such a big change, but having just turned 28 and with all of these terrific role models to follow, I really…
