Lookin for friendos!
Hello! My name is Jacob and I have been on and off of MFP for years. I have had success with it in the past, stopped using it and went back to bad habits. This has been a good streak for me as of late and don't see myself screwing it up again. Lil bit about me. Started my journey at about 325lbs, and am down to 289.…

The journey begins
Back again, at the heaviest I have ever been, roughly around 320. My goal is huge, and very difficult. I would love to be in the lower 200s, and even under. Any tips or support is welcome.

After dinner snack...
Ever feel unsatisfied after dinner? I just wonder what everyone does to help satisfy this hunger to prevent yourself from running to a quick fast food joint or eating all the junk food lying around. I had to fight the urge to grab food after dinner, and ended up eating one of those 100 Calorie packs (Chips Ahoy) Just…

Dominos/Rallys
Not a good combination for a diet. I gained about 10 pounds in a day from it. No joke.
