I just realized that I never posted my own success story. I couldn't wait to reach my goal, and then completely forgot to put it up once I did.
I started out on January 1, with a very low self-esteem. All of 2012 was one big food binge after another. I never exercised, and I didn't think much about it. One day, I saw a picture of myself and that was it for me (I think most of us have those.) I found out about MFP through a friend and there was nothing stopping me after that. I kept thinking I shouldn't start it out because of a New Years Resolution, but it really did give me the boost I needed.
To be honest, I never thought anything about macros. I always thought I could just not eat very much and that would be good enough...Nope!! (well not for me, anyway) I'm so fortunate for all of the support I received through MFP. The Success Stories was the first thing I looked up in the morning to keep me going. I'm proud of myself for keeping at it and doing it the healthy way, through a good diet and exercise.
A big thank you to everyone on here!!! I hope these load correctly.
