Didn't think this would happen!

So I started MFP in the middle of June, I was very nervous about this. I was at my worst with 155 LB at 5'2 and felt like crap. My waist was at 39 inches, and hips at 41 inches. I started using this and by the middle of July I weighed 151.4. Then my laptop took a crap. I got a nasty virus and had to give it to a family friend to fix it. Without a smart phone or a convenient way to add my stuff, I couldn't use MFP.

This week, while helping my grandmother and mother for a yard sale, I was told I had lost weight. I didn't believe it because I hadn't been using the site for nearly a month! So I measured my self last night and found out my waist was down to 33 inches and my hips at 39!!! Even though it was the evening, I had to know how much I weighed and it was 147.6 (I'll try it in the morning but I'm sure it'll be at 145ish). I was so excited that even though I didn't use the site, I now knew what to ate and how much was too much. Without it, I would have never started riding my bike nearly everyday and start gaining muscle weight. I also would have never gone down from a Large Mcdonalds coke to a small!!

So even though I didn't do it all the way with MFP I'm glad it has taught me how to eat better. I'll start using it again when I get my laptop.

Now I just have 30 more pounds to lose!! 25% down, 75% more to go!!

That's great! It's good to know that you are learning from the process and that you wouldn't be "lost" without MFP!
