My mother passed away in August of 2013 and I was so depressed that I depended on food. I ate even though I knew I was full. I gained 30 lbs in a year. So when I started a new job that had a weight loss competition, I thought why not? I started to change my lifestyle in November 2014. The competition ended in December however, I still wanted to continue to better myself. So, I got this app and I am proud to say that from that point to this point, I lost 15 lbs!

Good for you. I can relate to what you are sing. I lost both parents within 13 months. I have to do it now because my health is really suffering. We can do this!

Great job sticking with it! My mom passed away 9 years ago. I turned to food for comfort and gained 25 lbs. I still struggle but I am thankful I found MFP!0
