Today is my 500th day straight of logging on MFP. 500 days ago, I thought I'd maybe get down to a size 14 and gain some strength. In 500 days, I've gone from a tight US size 18/20 to a comfortable 4/6. I've lost 70 pounds of fat and gained muscle. I've gone from dreading the stairs at work to playing roller derby, becoming a fitness instructor with Derby Lite, cycling, running, and just enjoying an active life with my friends and family. 500 days ago, I started out MFP eating junk food and fast food while following a very low calorie diet of 1200 to 1400 calories. Then I started treating myself like an athlete and fueling my body with 1800 to 2300 calories, while still enjoying plenty of junk and sweets. ;) I've continued to lose weight and build muscle, and I'm feeling great. 500 days ago, I finally changed my lifestyle for me. MFP has been a wonderful tool, resource, and community!

    Thanks everyone! I think everyone says a "tight" higher size because its so hard to buy the next bigger size when gaining. At least it was for me! And they're fancy tights. :) I was skating in the Chicago Pride Parade with Derby Lite. It was so much fun!
