3/27/16: 254.4 lbs. (-35.6 lbs. total to date) [-2 lbs. in last two weeks] @curves2j, as I mentioned earlier, we are on the same path and if it weren't for your posting, my drive would be much weaker... I will continue nevertheless even though I seem to be plagued with numerous plateaus. Today is Holy Saturday. I know we…

______________________________________ @curves2j You and I are on the same path, it seems! I thought you should know that your continuing to post is very helpful to me. It is reassuring to know I am not alone!! As of yesterday the scale read:254, this morning ir is reading 257.4....WTH???

EXCELLENT!! My plateau broke too! Let's hope our path downward will continue!!

Thank you @itstime2016! I admire your loyalty to the process and I will persevere! I am determined. You did really well last week!! 3#!! well done.

Oh dear. I missed reporting last week because I kept thinking that my weight would change!!! Now, a week beyond that and still no change!!!! I am definitely plateaued. I now really understand that. My weight hasn't changed now in OVER two weeks. Yet, I still consume less than 1350 calories a day. How can that even be? :-(

@itstime2016 You too! Thanks.

2/21/16: 257.4 lbs. (-32.6 lbs. total to date) [-1.4 lbs. for the week…] :-| Better than last week, but still not good enough. I am averaging less than 1300 calories/day. Had to go buy new pants this week as I have lost 4 inches+ from my waist! Another 2 inches and I'll be able to buy 'off the rack'! Hahahahahahahahaha!…

@curves2j & @itstime2016 You both are doing really well! Tough acts to follow! I may only be losing what I am losing due to my caloric intake. I wish I could get motivated to exercise. I did stop at Walmart today to buy a couple of smaller belts though. from 50 to a 48/46 inch so I am definitely losing in girth too! ;)

Thank you! You have confirmed my thoughts. Congratulations BTW , on the reduction of medications! Well done. s for waiting to weigh myself once a week. My OCD makes it difficult for me to only weigh in once a day! Which I am compelled to do every morning. Continued success!!

Well done! My fit bit one is now my new best friend! It serves as a constant reminder of my need to pay attention to what and how I eat; MFP drives it home with me logging EVERYTHING! BTW, do you, [or anyone] know what is means to have "earned' extra calories in MFP which thereby increases my daily calorie budget? For…

We are all in this together, Vanessa! BTW, my wife is from Lincolnshire. We were living there until 2010 when we had to move back to Houston for family reasons...I am pleased and honored to have you as a friend.

I keep looking at your before and after pictures. Awesome and amazing. Thanks for the inspiration and advice...will you have trouble maintaining?

Hello! My name is Tom. I will be 63 in March and weight not withstanding, am in pretty good health. I am determined to get back to my early years weight of 180. I have along way to go but think I am off to a good start. You all are inspirational and I like your enthusiasm about exercise, which I loath. As the only guy in…

I have reduced my daily calorie intake to 1350 from 1450. When I began this journey in October I set it at 1550. Today I logged 1471 calories. Higher than the last few days as I went out to lunch. My plan is to watch the calories carefully, but otherwise eat what I want. Doing this has changed the way I view food. I stay…

Tricx21 & VeryEirry & all the rest of you posting above, thanks for your courage and willingness to share. Looks like I am the only guy amongst you and I need to drop a wee bit over 90 lbs now, having dropped 20 since the first week of October. I will be 63 in March and hate exercise. I have been using MFP & FitBit as…

Good Evening and Happy New Year to everyone. @kaysday, you are my new hero! Wow! I finally decided to do something about my weight (in a serious way) this past fall. My wife is pre-diabetic, so I want to support her new eating habits (low-carb, etc) even though she is not over weight. I tipped the scales at 290, standing…

Whoops. My initial entry was incorrect, ( I went from memory instead of my notes) here are the facts: My original starting date of Oct 1, 2015 10/1/15: 290 12/30/15: 272 (-18) 1/1/16: 270.4 (-19.6)

Thank you @istarith for the kind words and support. Deeply appreciated. Yes, my goal is to reach 180 and have it stick. This morning I weighed in at 270.4 so I am again moving in the right direction. I did readjust my calorie daily goal to 1350 this evening. Now that the holidays are behind me, it should be attainable...I…

Hello! Thanks for this opportunity to gain confidence. I've lost 18 lbs. since the first week of October 2015. I was actually down 22 lbs. until the Christmas non stop festivities began, but they are nearly all over now. I need to drop about 90 more pounds to reach my goal weight of 180 pounds. My original starting date of…
