Great words and Great job. Congratulations on your success. You are an inspiration.

I guess it is not surprising because technically it does come down to a mathematical equation. Like someone else here said, I think it really helps my accountability. The snacking is kept in check and also I drink almost nothing but water. It is so easy to drink your calories especially when you hate diet sodas like I do.

I do but almost never all of them. If you exercise you are going to get hungry so you may need some of them back.

How long are the slow down periods ?

Great job dude. Hope I can do as well.

I know people that have had great success with weight watchers. When I investigated it I thought it was too much work and figuring. MFP has worked out great for me. It is quick and efficient and I find if I stick to it and exercise it is dead on and the weight comes off. Just be honest and don't drink your calories. Also…

I found this place when I had already lost 25 lbs. Now I am down 34lbs. I did it by watching what I ate and walking, I think walking is the greatest tool we have as almost anyone can do it. I am just like you as to how much I weigh.. As others have said you need the right shoes. New balance cross trainers have worked well…
