I've been doing calorie counting with MyfitnessPal since July 2017 and just hit the 200 pound lost mark! (90.7kg). My starting weight was 411 pounds, and I'm now at 211 pounds.
Initially my goal was to get to being 100KG, and I achieved that a few months ago. Now my ultimate goal is to get to 90KG - 198 pounds. I'll be very very happy to reach that mark, and I am constantly reevaluating.
I started by using shakes - specifically Aussielent, a varient of Soylent. The main purpose was to lower my food and hunger expectations to more reasonable levels. I did that for about a month before I had enough of it for various reasons, mostly because it was quite restrictive.
I've tried everything from making my own Chicken Wraps, sandwhiches, subway or Mcdonalds to buying ready prepared meals that you reheat in the microwave. Ultimately, as the popularity grew with these types of services I used them more and more and now almost exclusively eat those meals. Namely, it is Youfoodz and Freshmeals2u available in Australia online.
After a few months I transitioned to calorie counting in conjunction to Intermittent Fasting. I'm not that strict with it, but in general I don't go looking to eat Breakfast or anything at all for as long as possible. I will have lunch and dinner but usually within a 4-6 hour period at night. What I do is I eat one Youfoodz meal or Freshmeals2u meal and a snack, such as yoghurt as well as fruit.
I feel very close to the end of the main part of my weight loss journey now, and will probably get a DXOscan done to see exactly how much there is to lose. To tell you the truth, I expected myself to be skinnier than I am at my current weight. There are literally almost as many people urging me to stop losing as there is telling me to continue now. It's almost disheartening, but I know they are full of it. After all, I only recently passed into overweight instead of Obese on the BMI scale.
