My name is Brittany I'm 22, and I have a 2 1/2 yr old son. I've never been "skinny" but I'm ready to be healthy. I first hear about MFP on January 1 while scrolling through the apps on my iphone. I got it and have been using it ever since and so far I have lost 19 lbs! I've been doing the walk away the pounds DVD 2 miles a day (30 minutes), drink nothing but water, and eat usually under my 1200 calorie goal. My highest weight was over 200 lbs. My son was born 4 months premature and was in the NICU for 3 months. I was severely depressed and while staying at the Ronald McDonald House there was nothing to do but eat and I did before I knew it I was over 200 lbs which made me even more depressed. I'm happy to say that my son is perfectly fine with no problems, other than wearing glasses. Back in June of last year I moved and started a good job and dropped my weight to 180, which I was really happy about but I stayed at that weight up until January which is when I decided to drop the weight and my CW is 163. I can't wait to lose the rest!!!
