I love MyFitnessPal.
Why?
Not only because it helps me keep track of my food and exercise.
Not only because it has made me more aware of how I treat my body.
Not only because of the helpful threads and the amusing threads and the occasionally aggravating threads.
The #1 reason why I love MyFitnessPal is YOU.
Yes, you.
You come in all different shapes and sizes. Some of you are morbidly obese, like I started, while others are competing in fitness competitions and still others are struggling to gain weight to get healthy.
You come from all different places – I know people from Australia, New York, and even a itty-bitty town a couple of hours away from Tucson, where I live.
You have different value systems, different political beliefs, different EVERYTHING.
But you know what we all have in common?
We are all here to support one another and to build each other up. To help each other succeed.
When I entered the Biggest Loser Tucson contest, you really pushed hard to help me.
You voted, you shared with your friends and family, and you generally went above and beyond.
Most of you don’t know me in real life, and a lot of you are not even friends with me on here, but you supported me anyway and that means SO much to me.
So thank you, MFPals. Thank you so much for the opportunity to share my story with people.
I know that, even more importantly than winning the contest, you gave me the tremendous blessing of having my story shared with many, many people that would never have seen it otherwise, and I hope they were encouraged.
Thank you.

PS - special thanks to MereMe, GorillaNJ, bry_all01, purplebabe2025, sarah44254, kimcat73, chelekaz, thedreamhazer, thunt1990 and all of the others who totally spammed you all to get me the votes (I'm super sorry if I forgot to mention you by name)!
Thanks to you, no kittens had to cry.
