Thanks for sharing a different aspect here. This is my second start too...didn't get nearly as far on my first (only about 35 lbs into the 90 I needed to drop). But I can relate a little on some of the same type things. I will really keep my eye on the things that helped me get off track last time. I should probably quit…

Very, VERY impressive! Congrats on your success!!

After a few months of counting calories...I sort of hit what I perceived as a "plateau". Granted I wasn't weighing my food and there may have been days I was underestimating. But bottom line, the weight loss slowed if not halted. I was super frustrated. That first few months I went from about 285 to 255. Then I seemed to…

Ok I'm either a big dummy or I just don't have the patience to learn how to keep MFP interacting with my recently purchased Fitbit (accurately). Based on my job and activity level, when I first started MFP 4 months back, I chose "sedentary" lifestyle. My question is: if I use Fitbit just for tracking steps <initially>…

I'm in! My first challenge on MFP as well. This has probably been one of (if not biggest) obstacles since trying to transform my lifestyle about 4 months ago. I have to say though...I'm starting out down 1. LNS: 1 Me: 0 I'm putting on my rally cap though!!!

"The future is my b*tch"....love it!! Lol. Permission to use, sir? Congrats on outstanding accomplishments! I just hit 100 today but my progress is nowhere near as impressive. You've inspired me to step up my game. Thanks!!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. Very thought provoking insights. I'm only a few months into my transition and it will be interesting to see how some of your points effect me. I hope that I can develop the incredibly positive attitude that you seemed to have. I'm sure there are a lot of things we don't consider…

Yep...I totally agree! Personal accountability (and honesty) is absolutely necessary. I'm just now realizing this...

Add me if you have room for more friends! :)

Outstanding!

Great job! Just started myself. Around middle of March. But have officially logged onto MFP for 40 days now. Kinda proud of myself! Lol. :smile: Name: Chad Age: 44 Height: 5'10" Starting weight: 284 Current weight: 259 (feeling the difference in my energy levels more and more each day) Lost so far: 25 lbs (12 of it since…

Love reading these success stories. Truly inspiring...and I definitely need to be inspired on some days more than others. :) Congrats on your achievement. Super impressive!!!

That is awesome. I'm only 22 lbs in. I'll be glad when I can start seeing the difference in pictures too. That seems like great motivation to continue working hard!! Congrats to you. Keep up the great work!

My goal I set was to get to 199 although for my height (5'10")...I could probably stand to lose 20 more than that. Guess it depends on how I feel and how I carry it when I get there. I did a month on my own before I found MFP. So far, down about 21lbs (7ish since MFP). I'm currently around 264. I only have one friend so…

Thank you for sharing your inspiring story!! I am 2 months into my transformation but only started using MFP a month ago. My wife and I are trying to do a lifestyle change together. Hadn't got her on here yet but she's doing good on her own so far. Really hope to get her here soon. It's much easier to keep track! I started…

Simply amazing!!! I'm just getting started and this is truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing your incredible journey! Just...wow

I'm just starting today myself. Hope to meet some folks on here that I can cheer for and maybe pickup a few cheerleaders of my own! ( wait...as I typed that... I realize how it sounded! Lol). I actually started trying to eat better and lose some weight about 28 days ago. I'm 5'10" and was 284 when I started. I am down to…
