Long story short. I have been very successful in the past. I lost over 120 lbs about 12 years ago. It took me about 7 months and I felt and looked great. Over the years it crept up and I gained it all back plus 50 lbs. I am frustrated and I am here to watch what I eat, count my calories and I love the math behind it. I am all about creating my calorie deficit. My first goal is to get to 299 and then 250 and then 220! I hope to get to my last goal weight in a year. Good luck to all!
