Lurker finally saying hello

Jusjerzy

Hey everyone! I've been on MFP faithfully since January of this year. I have to say I am completely entertained at work while checking in on the forums. Makes the day go by for me! Have read so much good advice and have followed others through their journey's (behind the scenes).

Thought I would finally say hello and join in the fun. I am down almost 80 pounds and 15 from my first goal...a comfortable weight. Will see what happens next. Got there by counting calories (between 12 and 1500 depending on the day). Watching my carbs (keeping under 50) and cutting all added sugar and "refined" white crap. Not for everyone, I know but I discovered I really was a sugar addict and cutting the sugar changed my life! No more cravings and or binges.

I also started going to CKO Kickboxing and fell in love with that, I tend to do that 4-5 days a week and run on the other days. Did a few 5k's and hope to do more. Just started lifting. Overall I'm in a really good place now and feel amazing!!

Love, love love MFP, thanks to everyone for helping me pass the time at work......if only I got paid for doing it......oh wait I already do!!!!
