I lost 55lbs. in 8 months...it's doable, but you have to get your head in it! I am going on a cruise in 2 weeks and that is what prompted me to make the change...it's 90% about the food and 10% about the exercise! Good Luck!! YOU CAN DO IT!!

Mine are set at 40/30/30...once I changed them, manually, I started to lose and consistently!!

SW: 205 CW: 149.7 GW: 145 I think anything under 145 would be too thin...we will see when I get there!!

I have been logging for 235 days now and can't imagine NOT logging. It really makes you think about what you are putting in your mouth, if you are truly honest about it! I love love love MFP!! It's just going to be part of my life from now on...!!

Mexican Food...I could eat it every day!!

Get the non-stick reynolds wrap and clean up is EASY!! One of the best appliances I own!! I also use mine to make sandwiches for my guys! Non-buttered grilled cheese!!

Take her to Outback for dinner...it's a win, win situation! You don't have to cook and you can get a good dose of protein and veggies. Let her complain about the way Outback cooks!! haha! They also have 2 for 1 wine!! Good Luck!!

Start weighing your food and make sure you log everything you put in your mouth!...and at 330lbs, you probably aren't eating enough calories.

My husband booked a cruise for us, with 3 other couples. I didn't want to be the "FAT" chick! I also am going to be celebrating my 25th wedding anniversary in May and I want to be able to put my wedding dress on...that is just a personal goal!

I don't know if this applies to you, but I have been only losing during TOM...weird, I know...but it's better then nothing! When I had a lot of weight to lose, I was losing it weekly. Now...I will take whatever I can get!!

I am set up for C...but usually stay in B!

I always lose weight during TOM...I guess I am just weird!!

I got a Brazilian Bikini Wax and it's the best feeling ever!! It's like having a secret!

Wow...how proud are you?? She looks beautiful and sexy!!

You look beautiful!!

You guys are the BEST!! As I read all your comments, I have to admit, I got a little teary eyed! I would have never imagined that I would meet such a great group of people that are doing the same battle as me!! Thanks for all the inspiration!!

I'm 5'7" and I started at 205. I have been on MFP since April and I have lost 48.5 lbs. My pictures are on my profile, feel free to check them out!! I have another 11.5 lbs to my ultimate goal, but I feel great!! Good luck with your weight loss journey!!

When I started MFP I weighed 205, it's been 6 months and I now weight 156. For me it has been all about the food!! I weigh everything I put in my mouth and keep my macros at 40% carbs, 30% fat, 30% protein. That being said...I exercise, but not like a maniac. It was more important for me to get the weight off first and…

THIS... LOSING weight make your clothes LOOSE fitting!!

You must be so proud of yourself and your Devil Dog husband!! Thank you for sharing and please thank him for his service to our country! God Bless the USA!!

Once you start recording and weighing every thing you put in your mouth, your mindset will change. By recording it you can see the things that take all your calories, in one setting, and it will make you choose better alternatives. The mindset also has to do with how motivated you are to get the weight off!! Good luck...I…

Heaviest: 205 Lightest:145 Current Weight: 161.8 Goal Weight: 145 I'm 5'7" and 45 yrs old!

Nothing for Halloween, Thanksgiving=dumplings!! and Christmas=Fudge and EggNog Croissant french toast!! It's a tradition!!

I am going to get a ring guard from the jewelry store...when you have them re-sized you lose gold and value!

Weight loss is 90% diet and 10% exercise. You should be able to continue to lose weight by simply controlling your diet! Hope your foot heals quickly!!

I have been "rewarding" myself for the last 15 years...that is how I got to this point in my life. When I reach my ideal weight and get on maintenance, then I will think about adding some rewards back in to my diet! Good luck making a decision on your weight loss!

Wine...ugh!! and Beer!! although I haven't had any beer since I started MFP!!!

Please, friend me! Support is so important too!! I have my calories set for 1420, but usually stay under 1400... Glad to have you as a friend! Edit: I friended you first!! :)

A wise person one told me that "You can't exercise away a bad diet", that has helped me so much. I log and weigh everything I put in my mouth. I log my food before I…
