in Introduce Yourself
Have always been active and healthy but also on the plump side. Wake up call when I started getting short of breath, dizzy and fatigued. Ended up in ER and diagnosed with Afib. Long story short, I have it under control but on meds that I want to get off of. Need to lose 30 lbs of body fat but gain muscle. The trainer at my gym showed me what visceral fat looks like on an MRI and a pic of a real heart that was covered in fat. It’s no longer about lookin good it’s about saving my life.

    Welcome: You came to the right place, IMO. MFP works for weight loss, for those who commit to it, then use patient persistence.

    Wishing you excellent outcomes!
