I think you will be around the 200 mark by April. It sounds like you are working hard and making progress. In July 2012 I was 245 pounds and by March 2013 I was 160. So, that's a similar weight loss to what you're seeing. I was able to lose it and have maintained with watching my diet and exercise. Just keep believing in…

I'm all in too! This sounds like the motivation I need! I want to lose 20 pounds and log into MFP daily. Looking forward to working with all of you!

I have struggled all my life with my weight as well. I wasn't able to start pulling things together until I was 50. Like you, I've been overweight all my life and couldn't remember ever being a normal weight. I pretty knew what to eat and that I needed to exercise. I'm good at losing weight - I've probably lost 300-500…

Welcome to MFP! I have to admit I have the same kind of issues. I can follow my fitness routine all day, only to sabotage it by eating snack food at night. I also think it is related to emotional eating - which can be tough and difficult to understand. I wish I had an easy answer, but I don't. This cheap trick works for me…

Hi Trishka! I'm pretty new to MFP, so I'm looking for new friends as well. I'll send you a friend request.

I'm still new to clean eating and learning a lot from posts in this group. To me clean eating is cutting out the processed foods and sugar, while using as many fresh ingredients as possible. I ask myself, "can I point to it on a farm?"

I understand where you are coming from. I easily get addicted to the scale. I try to weigh weekly, but often find I really weigh every morning, and that can be depressing. I do better when I look at the bigger picture. I'm making healthy changes in order to live a better life and the weight loss is one part of that. I can…
