This is my story. I woke up on July 27, 2012 and decided enough is enough. I had to do something about my weight problem. I found My Fitness Plan and quickly joined the website. After that, I logged in every day and recorded my food.
I have lost 282# in 52 weeks. I did this with no tricks, no surgery, no supplements, no energy bars or drinks, no shots just pure old fashioned willpower and exercise. I joined a gym on December 24, 2012. Currently, I am there about 4-5 times a week. I probably broke all the rules. I eat about 1,000 calories a day. I eat three times a day with snacks. I have skipped meals when I am not hungry especially on the weekends when I am busy. I weigh myself every day. I visit my personal physician every 30 days. He monitors my progress and draws blood about every 60 days.
In the past year I haven’t had one bite of fast food, pizza, junky sweets or beer. I can’t say as I miss it. I want to lose about another 50#. I am posting this for the people out there who get discouraged or have a substantial amount to lose. You can do it. You have to be determined. Don’t get distracted by outside influences. I decided I would set aside one year of my life to really concentrate on my problem. I am 59 years old. If I can do it, you can do it. Everyone is amazed at my results. Are the results typical? I doubt it. Did I lose it too fast? The answer is probably. Are my Dr. and I pleased with the results? The answer is absolutely.

So many members her get berated for eating under 1200, especially a guy. This is the second success story I have seen where the guy ate below 1200 and still lost the weight.
This is proof that what works for some doesn't work for all.
Well done on the loss! Keep it going!0 -
This is really impressive, and I'm proud of you. GREAT JOB!0

Congratulations on your loss, and the best part is that you kept your physician in the loop and were monitored. This I think is EXTREMELY important when you are going into a journey such as this with guns a' blazing. You jumped right in, headstrong and made a change that was life saving for you. Way to go. :flowerforyou:
