edited January 3 in Success Stories
Hi, I've always had issues with my weight but last year I really put on the pounds going from a size 18 to a 22/24. I started watching what I ate around May 2011 by doing the Atkins diet, while I had success on that diet I do not recommend it. I started incorporating fruits and more veggies into my diet this summer and while the weight loss had stalled I exercise more and feel better in general.(I joined MFP approx 200 days ago and I've lost about 15 lbs since then) I've gone from a 22W to a 12. I still have a ways to go but I know I'll get there, maybe by next summer I'll look forward to putting on a swimsuit instead of wanting to wear a blanket. This is the first time I've attempted to post a picture so here goes. And please don't be harsh, I know I look terrible in that swimsuit...

    Wow...I can't believe that person in the swimsuit is you!! You look great!!! I know you will never put that old swimsuit on again. Keep up the great work and believe in yourself!!! You deserve to be happy. I have NEVER dieted in my life but the doctor told me end of Sept. I am too borderilne diabetic...and I will NOT let that happen! I cut out 90% sugar right away, started with personal trainer once a week, go to gym 5 times per week and have lost 10 lbs. in 4 weeks. I feel amazing!!! I also have 30 lbs. to go for my goal! Once we both get there let's go shopping together! Hang in there, Rita in Virginia.
