I started using myfitnesspal on March 2, 2012 and this morning (10/17/12) I have reached my goal and lost 70lbs! This has not been a diet, but rather a lifestyle change. When my friends ask me how I did it, I just say I live a healthy lifestyle now and smile. I went from a US size 16 to a US size 6 (size 6 was my goal size).

Now I have switched my settings on here from loosing 2lbs a week to maintaining my weight, which scares me since I am going from 1200 calories/day to 1800. And I am also adding to my gym routine. I have done all cardio and a body flow class (love that class it's yoga, pilates, and tai chi) and I am adding strength training to it.

My before picture was taken Oct. 2010 (way before I started my journey, but pretty much what I looked like when I started) and my after photo was taken a week and a half ago)

    Wooo woot!!! Congrats, you look awesome!! Try going up on your calories GRADUALLY, keeping an eye on the scale, til you find a balance. It's so easy to slip in the maintenance phase...which is the rest of your life. Best of luck enjoying the new you !!
