Hi MFP people,
I started here in June 2013 and it's been a really slow process. I am 5'2" and 46 years old, overweight since age 13 and class 1 obese for the past few years. I really didn't know how fat I was until I saw my starting pic which I got my hubby to take when I started MFP. Anyway, I have logged daily since June 17th, some weeks I steadily lost, since Christmas I have only lost 3 lbs, but I walk a lot and this week got back to my jogging that I was enjoying last summer. I don't diet, I count calories and allow myself everything. I cook most of my meals and bring lunches to work. I just started Couch to 5K and 30 Day shred alternate days, I feel better after this first week of actual exercise, with the hope that I might actually meet my goal. Yesterday I decided to take a progress photo and there is definitely a difference. I look at these success stories daily, I find them very motivating!
I've gone from 190lbs to 147lbs and my goal is 135. I've gone from a size 16 pants XL tops to a size 8 pants, M tops. More importantly, my goal is now to get fitter, get some muscle tone and stay healthy for the rest of my life. Over being fat!
So here's my slow progress so far...
