Killin' it at 49 (and w/this app!)
I sat in defeat + depression in June of 2022. Didn't believe I could take control. Didn't believe I could erase two years of Covid induced, sedentary lifestyle + the 30lbs added to my frame. I changed soooo many little things to pull me out of that nosedive. I was teetering around 195lbs. Now I'm teetering around 165lbs.…

What Do You Notice? What Do You Wonder?
What Do You Notice? What Do You Wonder? Before I explain how I took off seventy plus pounds, I want to reminisce about the pictures above.

No more hypertension
after 61 days on MFP and working out 4-5 days a week, I started with extremely high blood pressure and today I'm on the low end of "pre-hypertension." My doc asked me if I wanted meds 3 months ago and I told him I would work on it myself and BOOM!

Been away for a while
Was on WW for a while and lost 27 lbs. Lost my momentum when they changed plans. Not their fault, all on me. I thought why would I pay money each month and not do the plan, when I can get support on MFP. Going forward this time, also taking Golo for Life. Hopefully, this combination will get me back on track.

Looking for some inspiration. I lost my "chronic" 40 lbs of overweight with reasonable ease at age 45, and maintained for a couple of years.
