:flowerforyou: i don't know if you will be able to read all of these posts or not, but I have seriously been crying seeing how amazing your journey has been... I'm going to have all of my MFP friends read this post just because you are such an honest, real person!!
Thanks for sharing!

I am reading every single one and if I'm perfectly honest, I'll probably read them more than once. I appreciate it tons

Just had a question I read your info about not eating exercise calories and like I said I am new so how does that work? It seems like the exercise calories are automatically added to your daily total. Is there an option to turn this off or do you just do your own calculations? Any info would be appreciated. I have been watching the number that pops up on my homepage of MFP so maybe i am eating too much.

No, there isn't. For me this isn't a big deal...I pre-log my day, so I know to eat calories in my range and ignore the exercise calories that are added since I've already included them in my TDEE / deficit calculation.

You look great, but I want you to know that I appreciated you taking the time to do the thought process, motivations, real life, real story. That means more to me than wanting to "see pics"
I am only 19 pounds into what should be 80-100 pounds and it is hard to imagine what it takes to keep motivated for a year. I did 5 months and 30 pounds, then dissapeared off MFP for a year, putting it all back on. I need the staying power.
Thanks for your story.
Really, it is appreciated.

What a beautiful positive story! Thank you so much for taking the time to share! You look amazing, but your outlook sounds amazing- and it's contagious!! It's nice to see success stories like yours, where it's about a change in lifestyle, and making the most of your future, your family, and your relationships, as much as it is about changing your body.
This is a very meaningful post, so thank you again!
