I've struggled with my weight since I was 22. This is the first time I've lost significant weight. One decision I made that has really paid off is not eating diet stuff. Seriously. I'll have 1-2 diet sodas in a week, but for the most part, I eat REAL food, but in moderate proportions. REAL, quality ingredients satisfy me…

43yrs. I've been overweight my entire adult life. The past year, I've had success in walking every day and watching the intake. I like to cheer on my MFP friends. Always looking for more of them

That's great!

I understand the taking ownership of it thing. But depression over this is not going to help. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start again. I'm seeing now that a lot of what I was dealing with can only be defined as an addiction. So, take it one day at a time. You fell on your butt today. But that doesn't mean you…

Beer and fried food...... I;m with you.

This is encouraging. Thanks for sharing.

I've been using an air popper for a few years now. I like being in control of what's in it. I actually use Orville Redenbacher's liquid topping. I know it's not the best, but I measure it out to control calories. Parm sounds good too.

I'm right there with you. I've lost about 40 so far (from my peak), and 30 over the past three months. I didn't make it to 400, but I was staring it in the face. I too could use some pep talks every so often. Add me if you'd like.

Feel free to add me. I've been using the app for a while, but really ramped it up in the past six months. I am just getting started on the social part of it.
