I'm An Alpha

lucstone

I've been a member of MyfitnessPal longer than I've actually involved myself with it consistently. In 2013 I was diagnosed with Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency with severe COPD (emphysema with chronic bronchitis in my case) and have been searching for a way to track nutrients other than the typical Cal/Fat/Carbs. Since there are members that are family I settled with MyFitnessPal. With many of us wanting a health/weight change, I thought it'd be a great way to help and to be helped as well. So for the past few weeks I've been logging in everyday (trying to anyway), and to my family and friends, have an open diary. I'm thinking about blogging about my health (COPD) experience. I will say that since I was diagnosed, (by making up my mind about food) I've lost 43lbs and aren't in need of my medications. Feel free to friend me.
