Hi,
I'm Merri and I have to admit I used MFP on my IPAD and just realized today when I logged on via my laptop that there is a community here. Who knew? Anyway, my company had a Biggest Loser competition that began in January and I'm happy to report that I was the Biggest Winner. When the contest ended at the end of April I decided to keep going with my weight loss and found the MFP app which has been awesome. I'm a gym rat - I exercise every day. Last year I decided to walk 30 miles a week for 52 weeks (1560 miles) and I actually ended up walking 1650 miles. While I did lose some weight I was not very conscious of my diet and so this year I decided that getting completely healthy was my top priority. I have teetered a bit but have to say that I was lucky enough to meet Jillian Michaels a few weeks ago and found her to be very inpsirational so it gave me the push I needed to keep going. I look forward to meeting some new friends!!!!
**Stats**
SW -221 lbs
CW-180 lbs
GW- 140 lbs

Fantastic! Your post inspired me, I started walking again this morning. I was on here a year or more ago and now I am back. It really worked when I logged on every day and tracked everything I ate. Keep on going!:happy:0
