It's been a long while since I've had a win ...
It's been a tough few years. After successfully losing 130lbs over 2 years and keeping it off for 5+years, I fell in to a wicked depression about 4 years ago. Over these past 4 years, I gained up to 70lbs (180-->250) at my highest in December 2015. Basically the gain came from binge eating and drinking way, way too much by…

Upper Body Strength & Toning
Hi all, I've recently started my MFP journey and am around 6 weeks in. I'm just starting to get the hang of CICO and am happy to report almost 20lbs down (I have almost 90lbs to lose, so the weight comes off quicker in the beginning for me). Anyway, I'm terribly unfit.
