Nearing 6 months on MFP - NSVs

ejechols

I started MFP on January 3. I have logged in, tracked food and exercise daily. I consider myself committed to this process.

Yesterday, I went to the doctor for my annual checkup. Since I started MFP, in the last 6 months:

My blood-pressure has dropped from borderline high, to normal - 129/80

Total cholesterol dropped from 203 to 171

My resting HR (at the doc's office) dropped 24 bpm to 54

And... I've lost 48 pounds.

I'll be 45 next week.

This is the best gift I can give myself and my family.

If you're reading this, stick with it. You'll get discouraged. You'll be sure your scale is broken. You'll eat too much bad, and not enough good stuff.

Keep coming back. Keep coming back. Keep coming back.

You must be feeling on top of the world! I bet your doc was impressed. Losing weight is nice, but I'm doing this for my health and my family, too. You've inspired me
