What were you eating/doing 1 year ago?
Just checked out my food and exercise logs from 1 year ago. Pretty crazy how much things have changed for me since then.
I think tomorrow I am going to do the workout I was doing a year ago and see how much faster I can finish it than I did then.
FTR, I was eating a pretty healthy diet. Too many Lean Cuisines and not enough calories (I clung to 1200 a day like nobody's business), but for the most part, it was healthy food. For my workouts, I was doing a LOT of pointless cardio and very little strength training. That has been the biggest change for me. And it is not a coincidence that my body looks way better now that I am eating more and lifting really heavy things.

I was pretty healthy and still a gym rat as I am now, but, nowadays I am much more healthier! A year ago, I was a really, really, bad emotional eater. I still am sometimes, but nowhere near as bad.0

I was first learning about veganism and making a slow and steady transition to a vegan diet! Exploring new foods and new ways of making foods. I even began taking a class on veganism!
I was not yet counting calories or using MFP though; glad I found it!0 -
I wasn't logging a year ago, but I was drinking lots of wine, and starbucks, and soda. I was eating lots of fast food and anything I wanted.0

I wasn't on here. I had just moved and temporairly stopped drinking, compensating with my moms cooking, since I moved next door to her.0

I was not on this program started 100 days ago according to my app.
but I can tell you what I was eating -
Breakfast - usually skipped it got to work went to 7 eleven got yogurt, banana and a 32 ounce COKE - oftentimes If I did eat it would be a burger from Carls Junior or a full meal from Del Taco on Fridays it was 2-3 donuts at work
Lunch - Go out to eat either Roundtable Pizza/ Mexican food and eat 4-7 slices of pizza or if it was mexican food it was a california burrito and a large COKE
On my way home - If the earlier day stuff wasnt bad enough - I would go to Jack in the Box or mexican food and order a whole meal eat that
Dinner - My lovely wife would cook me a healthy dinner and wonder why I was gaining so much weight !
Desert- Ice cream and at least 2-3 cokes in between getting home from work and desert .
...Now ---
Cut out soda other than Diet. Cream Soda or Diet Cherry Pepsi(sorry its my heel) and usually only one a day
Cut out fast food - have not eaten at a fast food place (Mcdonalds, Jack in the Box, etc) still occasionally get mexican / pizza but MUCH less food and no soda -
Lots o water and veges and fruit ..
Yesterday was interesting ... I have found I am going way under my calorie count for the day I was leaving work knowing I still had 1k calories for the day and I had a fleeting moment of wanting to go grab a burrito ... hell I would still be under my calorie goal...instead I stopped at a store and bought a bag of apples and some dried fruit... and enjoyed a Golden Delicious apple very happily as I drove home with a smile on my face content in knowing I made the right choice..0 -
Wasn't on here...was eating like crap and had just started a legal fight with my then landlord....stressed the F out!

I had lost 15lbs for sons wedding(Oct.9 2010) and lost another 10 after wedding. Then It started creeping back up. I bought EA sports Active 2 for my wii. And on that site I saw MFP. I joined MFP labor day weekend 2011. And I am never looking back.0
