I joined mfp in May 2017 to support my bf on his journey. I'm 5'4" tall, started at 190lbs and I have PCOS. Which for me means weight comes off ridiculously slowly. I didn't want to become obsessed with the scale so I only weigh in every 5 weeks. I take my measurement and go to the gym 3x a week where I focus on lifting heavy. The bench press has become my fav exercise to do :) My goal is to lose 30lbs and today I'm officially halfway there, weighing in at 175lbs. And I've had people say they noticed that I lost weight. I'm really glad for this app and the community because it motivates me to continue. Hoping to pass that along to others. fza1w1pjvu0k.jpg

    The difference is visible in your clothes, but I bet the way it makes you feel is even better! Knowing you've done the hard work to accomplish your (halfway) goal is empowering. Keep it up and you may even surprise yourself and surpass your initial goal!

    Congrats!
