Hi guys! I'm Sarah, I'm 18, stand at 5'6"-5'7"ish, and weigh about 300 pounds. I tried MFP a year ago but never got into it, but started using it again, and love it! This is an exciting journey!

You look amazing!! Congrats! :wink:

You look awesome! Keep up the good work and congratulations!

I couldn't give you an exact amount (I've been loosely counting until today) but about 1500-1700 a day

When you did this did you follow it religiously or were there days where you strayed? For instance if someone wanted to take you out for breakfast or you went on vacation etc

Now I am going to try this! This sounds absolutely perfect for me. Gonna try this for the next couples months and hope my results are even half as good as yours! I weigh about 300 pounds and want to weigh less than my husband (he weighs 180) hoping to wear a bikini by next summer! And your story made me feel like it's…

That's great! I currently about 300 pounds, looking to weight around 170 for now. I'll definitely add you! The more weight you have to lose the more daunting the task but I find adding people with similar weight loss goals helps

I just started my journey, I'm about 300 pounds, 5'7", at age 18. Starting out for now I've just been walking. I've read a lot of stories of people losing pretty dramatic amounts of weight just by walking a few miles daily in the beginning of their journey then progressing to things like running or joining a gym or taking…

This has been very helpful thanks for the advice guys! Definitely gonna apply a lot of it next time I go food shopping and cook

Is it really? There goes the one I thought I liked :P

This is a tricky one. Obviously we do not want to promote an unhealthy lifestyle. For example "smoker pride" would be a dumb concept. But some people are considered "fat" when they're actually perfectly healthy, they're just curvy or aren't stick thin. And in those cases I think it's good to be proud of who you are. I…

Ahhh you caught me. No I haven't tried them all, but I can truly say I've tried many of them. And am open to trying those I haven't yet. But from previous experience I don't like them. Besides corn as I mentioned before

I think it's mostly taste. I know people day things like lettuce don't taste like anything but to me it does...

Oh my gosh! That's SUCH a good idea! Thank you

Yea I'm definitely still going to work on trying new vegetables.

I'll have to see if I can find one! My husband is in the army but is currently training on an air force base. So that's very helpful

I live off base, but have been walking to the base and exploring or going to the gym that's there (usually exploring though, I find walking around to be easier than working out around all those toned skinny servicemen and women). I'll have to look into support systems and stuff. Thank you!

Wow that's amazing! How did you go it? I'm trying to lose about that much weight. Congratulations!
