Hey. I was inspired to join Myfitness Pal after a lifetime of obesity-struggles. Once I hit 372lbs, I needed a change. I joined in 2016 and was able to drop over 140lbs over the next 5yrs. I stopped tracking in 2022 (huge mistake/gained back 18lbs), and now I’m back, since the diet is the toughest part to this weight-management thing. -Vince of Western MA1

I’m a hardheaded old man. I hate to take advice whether it’s good or bad. This makes my journey difficult for myself.
However, I try to focus on all of my successes no matter how small. And count my blessings which I have many. But I don’t always remember to appreciate them.
You have had many successes. I wish you the best. And I hope you have many around you, reminding you of your successes and your blessings.❤️👍0
