6 Days

6 days in and down 7.8 lbs!!

I really thought that loosing weight was impossible because of my physical ailments. I can’t believe how excited I am and seeing results has even had a positive affect on my attitude.
Seeing what I’m eating in the app is really helping me change my eating habits, the paper journal I kept when trying the VA’s Weight loss program seemed more of a dreaded chore than a motivation tool. I used to eat one or 2 times a day but now I’m eating smaller portions throughout the day. I’m finding that I’m having more energy as a result.

My wife has noticed a change too. He sees my excitement and decided to join me starting yesterday.

I can’t thank MFP enough! When I see my VA doctor next I am going to try to get her to help share MFP with more Veterans. This is a major step above the VA’s MOVE program.

    I certainly hope your endorsement reaches some of our fellow vets! I can tell you that active duty FEP nearly requires using MFP to keep your nutrition log. Had guys in the offices I've worked in at my current duty station pretty much lined up to log onto MFP to update their logs before weekly FEP checkin. :P It's an excellent program.

    Congratulations on the loss as well!!
