  • 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…
  • Thank you so much for your post! I'm having a particularly difficult day and you reminded me that consistency is the key and that I don't have to be perfect.
  • I think it's a matter of finding the right diet and exercise routine that works for you; everyone is different. I eat a lot of vegetables, fruits, and some lean meats. I try to avoid processed foods as much as possible. I never eat/drink "diet" foods. Personally, I think diet foods only make you gain weight. I try to vary…
  • Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your story - it is inspiring. You look so happy and full of energy.
  • Great work! You look so happy!! Keep up the new healthy habits.
  • It's really hard when snacks are right in front of you.
  • 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…
  • I'm 49 and finally ready to make changes. Please feel free to add me as a friend. I'm logging on daily and trying to find some myfitnesspal friends.
