Awesome, way to take control of your life and health!!

You are an awesome Mom. You not only allow your son to do challenging things but you challenge yourself in order to be a healthier person and an even better Mom. .Amazing!

I believe potatoes have earned a bad reputation from a weight gain perspective because they are so tasty in things like french fries and potato chips and it is so easy and fun to eat a lot. By eating to much people put weight on but the food gets the bad reputation. So potatoes are not bad from a weight gain perspective…

Once again thanks to everyone for their kind words. One other key observation I have made in this year long experiment is if you want to see if you are going to lose weight then monitor your weekly net averge calories (you can easily see that on the app). If this is under your target then you will lose weight. If it is at…

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, some people are frequent scale measurement personalities and others less so. In any case the key is stay on track logging and on average stay under your daily target. If this is done for a long time then weight will be lost.

Amazing and thank you for sharing and inspiring!

Interesting idea but instead of a scale like is shown here it seems to me that instead we should track how a person is feeling such as happy, sad, bored, depressed, etc and in this way see how emotions drive calories. Thank you for such a thought provoking post.

One other piece of information for those people that weigh themselves once a week. I studied the one year of data (~ 350 measurements) and even with a steady long term weight loss (say averaging 1 to 1.5 lb a week) and determined that weekly are higher about 25% of the time. For example in a typical month with 4 weekly…

Congratulations!! You have really transformed your life. You look so healthy and happy. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks everyone for you kind and encouraging words.

Amazing, simply amazing!! You are a role model and inspiration to us all and you look marvelous. Thank you for sharing.

Agree with the comments on smaller weight target goals and also non-weight related goals. For example: Non-weight goals 1. Log every day for at least a month. Log good days and bad, this is critical. You will want to log everyday after that as well but start at a month. 2. Workout on average 4 times a week for a month.…

Congrats!! You look so much healthier and younger, way to go!

Congratulations!! An old saying is still true, "sweat is fat crying". :smile:

Thank you for your kind words. The graph actually did not take very long. I just took a "screen shot" of MFP's 1 year weight report, chipped to get just the graph, and added the words/pointers in Power Point. You can achieve your weight loss. You have already started the most important part of the journey.

Height - 6' 3". You are right 198/199 would be a good number and I am going to strive to get there and technically that says I am in a healthy weight range but to be honest for my height and now increased interest in building strength/muscle I think that being at 205 +/- a couple of pounds is probably pretty good.

Oops meant clairvoyant.

Most clairoyant.

Thanks everyone especially the concern for my wife. FYI, the operation was a success and she is doing fine.

I fixed the pics.

Holy moly you look amazing!! Congratulations you are doing fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Congratulations!! 100 lbs lost is so great. You are looking fantastic!!

Congratulations!! That is great progress. BTW - Understand about not posting pics. I could not do it until my one year anniversary and felt pretty good about myself.
