THANKS so much for this post! :) Helps a lot. Today happened to be a "chute" day. Aw SHOOT! :)

Age: 37 Height: 5'2" SW: 235-240 CW: 211 GW: 135 ish I have been doing MFP since mid January, and "changing my lifestyle" since mid-December. It feels SO slow, but I just taking it one day/week at a time. I try to stick to around 1260 cals per day, and have my macros set at 40% protein, 35% carbs, and 25% fats. I am…

Bump

Love both dearly... *sigh* but am trying to be good and just count it ...

You did GREAT! Wow, 150 pounds is AMAZING!! You LOOK great... no ugly there...

"Awesome" !! So happy for you. I know that must be a GREAT feeling. Keep it up!!! :)

Praying and lifting up all those involved and affected!

^^^ Okay, THIS made me laugh out loud. I think I can handle THAT! :) Seriously to ALL of you, Thank you for the encouragement. i don't know WHY I didn't think to just leave it playing, take it easy and just keep going when/how I could. I thought it had to be all or nothing. (I'm very much that way in all areas...…

thanks all. I'm so glad to have found MFP! It just showed me how FAR I have to go, instead of showing how far I've already come. You know? thanks again.

BUMP - I'm interested in people's thoughts on this as well. :) GREAT QUESTION!

my mom did this years ago. Sure, she lost weight. But her health has NEVER been the same and she got back up over her original start date after. Please, PLEASE don't do optifast ... it literally ruined her life.

UH-MAZING! :) You look incredible and your confidence REALLY shines through. I'm at 213 now, so more than your starting weight, and i've already lost a little over 20, and was starting to think "I'll never make it. I'll never be the real me that lives inside this body..." Your post showed me it CAN be done! Thanks so much…

Thanks for that. I will give it a try :) Do you sing? Is that what your username is about? I sing too, so I was just wondering. ;)

AWESOME! :) YAY for you...

Zsaoosh - CUTE pose and attitude shining through! Work it! :)

I can only echo what has already been said...and said again! WOW! :) Amazing story, for an amazing guy. Thanks for sharing!
