Before and After Story

I've been anorexic for 30 years, but within the past 7 I started really fighting my body because it was piling on the weight no matter what I did. At 5'2 almost 5'3", I eventually was 177 pounds! So I went to an obesity specialist who put me on Metformin for a prediabetic condition I had developed. I resumed eating 1200 calories a day, using MFP, and finally, because of the addition of the med, my body started releasing the weight! I couldn't believe it. I was pretty much done losing in January of this year, but picked up personal training to change the appearance of my body and body composition. I did this in February, and now, 3 months later, my body is starting to build muscle and lose fat, and I'm another 3 pounds down -- bringing me so far to 113 pounds. I'm SO relieved! I hope you like my before and afters! I now eat a little more than the 1200 calories a day (between 1300-1500 a day usually), recording my food still on MFP, and working out (zoom right now) with my trainer 3 days a week. One more thing! I was in a wheelchair until early this year and now with all the training I've done I'm finally free of the chair and full of energy and strength! The changes have been amazing!
