On September 26th of last year I returned home from a shopping trip only to realize that the previous 7 months had been a frustrating waste to reach my goal of mainting a healthy lifestyle.
During that trip I had purchased a few new pairs of jeans and some sweaters for for the fall season.
After realizing that I had only managed to lose 1 size in the jeans, I decided to stay home and do some searching for new tools to help me reach my goal. I found a post by my oldest MFP friend while searching and I saw what success he had had and decided to join MFP that night. It took me several days to finally get setup and understand how the site worked, but I instantly found that this was a site that could help me achieve my dreams.
Within two weeks of joining, I had found I could log my food, do exercise and most importantly - Rely on my new friends to support me on the journey to a maintaining a new healthy lifestyle.
Some key stats from the last year on MFP:
Loss 105 pounds since 10/3/11, 133 total from 2/1/11
Body fat decreased from 41.9% to 25.8%
Pant size from 54 to 38
Shirt Size from 3XL/4XL to XL
6 prescribed medications to none
I owe a big thank you to all of my MFP friends that have helped me over the past year and to all of my real life friends that have provided help and motivation!
