I started my journey April 2012, unhappy with just about everything in my life. I was in my first semester of studying nursing, and at 19 years old and 115kg (254lb) I was overweight and it showed. I was embarrassed to show up to classes because I was an advocate for health, yet wasn't healthy myself. I was a size 24 pant, and size 22 shirt. I thought I was fine, that I didn't need to lose weight and kept telling myself I was happy with the way I was.... but I wasn't. When my wonderful fiancé told me I was beautiful no matter what size, I made that an excuse to keep stuffing my face with pizza and chips.

One day, April 1st to be exact, I went for a walk. I used to go for walks all the time as a teenager. I could barely make it 10 minutes without stopping. This is when I knew something needed to change. When I finished that walk, I started my new life. I counted my calories, used myfitnesspal religiously and exercised daily. At first it was very slow starting off with exercise, but the weight practically melted off me!

I hit many milestones thanks to MFP. My first big milestone was getting under 100kg...

My second was getting into onederland....

My third was today, hitting my goal I set out 14 months ago. I even hit over by 100 grams! This is the lightest weight I have been in my adult life.

Thank you MFP! It wasn't easy but it was worth the ride! :drinker: :happy:
