Here's my story (Cliffs notes version LOL)
From August 2010 until September 2011 I lost 110 lbs. I was close to 410 lbs in August 2010 and I got down to 300 lbs in September 2011. I started working out 5 days a week and watching what I ate, almost completely giving up pop and fast food. I was on a roll and then the s**t hit the fan in September 2011. I separated from my ex-wife and we divorced a month later.I gradually stopped working out as much and stopped watching what I was eating. By Thanksgiving, I gained 20 lbs back. By the time I was forced to sell my house in March of 2012 because I couldn't make the payments by myself anymore, I gained 30 lbs back.
I joined MFP in July after I had returned home to Chicago from L.A. and barely fit in the airplane seat. Then I met a great girl in July of 2012 and we've been dating ever since. She also has had stuggled with her weight and we are helping each other out to lose weight. My weight fluctuated beginning in August when I got moved to 2nd shift at work and that messed my eating schedule and body clock up. By Christmastime, I had gained back 40 lbs of what I had lost and I was really pissed at myself.
I am now determined to get this weight off that I put back on and lose more. I started going to the gym on a daily basis again last week and counted calories using MFP and lost 5 lbs last week. I really believe with the help and support of Natalie and with a tool like MFP I can lose the weight again and get down to a healthy weight.
Weight loss is a science. It really is as simple as COUNTING CALORIES. MFP is GREAT for helping counting calories.
Feel free to add me if you've been in the same boat I'm in. I believe in strength and motivation in numbers
