I'm 6'0". My starting weight was 267.8, current weight 199.8, goal weight 180. I started MFP in September 2016.

I've had the best freaking week! First, my scale victory: I am now officially in onederland!! My starting weight was 267.8 and I'm now 199.8. Now my NSV: I ran a 5k on Saturday (my 5th so far), and it was HOT. I was miserable the whole time. I kept thinking how much. I wanted to quit. But I finished and didn't stay around…

Thanks everyone for the kind words. @Goddesskat -I have been hiking and running a lot along with dieting. I don't do any exercise that I don't like. I think, for me, I have had to learn to make myself a priority, and forgive myself when I go over my calories for the day. But I still struggle every single day. It helps to…

So glad I found this thread!! I thought it was the only one who doesnt care about the macros!! 1/2 cup (weighed) full fat breyers chocolate ice cream every night. Artificial full fat fancy creamer in my coffee every single morning. Chips. Soda (not diet). Pizza. I eat whatever the he%% I want to but I'm very careful about…

Out of necessity, I have become very good at taking in and altering my clothes. I loved to sew quilts before I started losing but never clothes. Now all my sewing time is taken up by altering my clothes to fit. It has saved me loads of money.

Love this! You are inspiring. My dream is to thru hike the AT. I hope I get to one day. Thanks for posting this.

I'm in.

I wake up earlier and more rested now. It's probably been a month since the alarm clock has woke me. I was so lazy before my weight loss, sat at a desk all day. Now I work out, run, walk, etc but somehow I don't need as much sleep and I wake up feeling great.

So glad I found this thread. When I started this lifestyle change, I decided to put myself first instead of always taking care of everyone else. Working out alone let's me take care of me without the distractions of others. When my friends ask to workout with me, I politely explain to them that i can't because it's my…

My personal favorite snack for hiking is Hershey's snack mix. I munch on it when I need a little boost. It has chocolate, almonds, and pretzels in it. Its around 200 calories and delicious. I also usually take a tiny can of no drain tuna with crackers to eat which has a lot of protein. The downside is that you have to pack…

Awesome!

Thanks everyone. I'm usually more of a lurker than one who posts but I have received so much encouragement from lurking :wink: You all inspire me daily.

Thanks @humantic I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'm hoping that tomorrow I will snap out of it.

I love this. I'm hoping for the same results when I go back to the doctor in a couple of weeks. Good job!

Hi. I'm 6'0" and just starting again. I have 80 to lose. Feel free to add me.
