Hi I am here today to tell people I have lost 55 pounds and 6 inches on my waistline since August 2017. In August I stopped drinking alcohol and I started to use myfitness pal as of today I have logged in over 200 days in a row. I was 280 pounds when I started. Over 3 years ago I was getting ready for a Terry Fox Run and I notice a mark on the top of my left leg it was the start of a vein ulcer it opened up to about 8cm by 8cm I have been going to a clinic and wound specialist for over 3 years. In February I had surgery on both legs to have bad veins takin out. I have also linked my Fitbit to myfitness pal to make my results more accurate. So between the Surgery and lossing weight my leg is healing up good. I am on to goal #2. Myfitness pal is great Thank you very much

    Way to go@gregwalker77! I started here over a year ago and am on my second go round after losing 60 then gaining back 22. I'm close to where I ended last time at 212 and have another 62 to go before I reach goal. Good luck to you in reaching all your goals!
