    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)

    You must be so proud of what you have accomplished. I started MFP around the same time as you and have been stuck for quite some time. I will be reevaluating to see what changes I need to make. You are truly an inspiration that it can be done! Congratulations.

    Wow, that's awesome. You mentioned you were on 1200 calorie diet. Could you also share your exercise regime too? As in how many hours? How much cardio? How many body flow classes etc.?

    Congrats! Your progress is amazing!

    Might I suggest that if you are nervous about upping calories to 1800, that you do it gradually? Perhaps by 100 to 150 calories a week.
