I just want to take this oppurtunity to give many thanks to MyFitnessPal!
I have struggled for years and years, all through school, college and uni with my weight, and only now at 21 have I really lost any! And it's all down to this website and app. Since February I have lost 30 pounds, now at a very comfortable 10st 9lb. I've tried diets, but this website has really taught me you can kinda eat what you want, as long as you control yourself. I restrict myself on carbs alot, but myfitnesspal has shown me exactly what amounts is in each food.
It may have made me quite OCD about labels and the back of packets but if I sit back and take a look at my diet now, most things I eat now are purely fresh and nothing processed. Because I've been tracking food for quite a while now everything has become retty straight forward and eating the way I do has become second nature. Myfitnesspal is now just to check i'm not going over limits!
My confidence has grown loads and I'm much more happy with my own skin. So I'm way past my original target but I would like to get down to 10st. My BMI is 22, well into ideal which for me is amazing because i've always been classed as overweight! So I just thought I'd take this time to stress to people how amazing this website is, and maybe meet some new people to help me with that final push or maybe share sucess stories?

I would also like to praise myfitnesspal. I have gone from 66.8 to 58.1kgs. Only the second time in my life I have been this weight. My initial goal of reaching 61kgs was so easy to achieve that I found myself well able to go beyond that. The concept is not new; less energy in than expended.
The fact that it is wrapped in such a simple, user-friendly tool with a vast array of foods in the database is what makes this app a true gem. I also like the fact that I can use exercise as a means to have an indulgence when I feel I need it.
Can you please add km's per hour and not just miles to the cardiovascular list?
I have been busy converting anyone who will listen....
thanks again, Krysta0 -
Ahhhh more love for myfitnesspal! I know exactly what you mean tho. Unless I'm counting when I was about 12... I have never been this weight, ever, in my life.
I mean I'm the one "who struggles with her weight" my family and friends would say. when it comes down to it, i just wasnt controlling what i ate. and myfitnesspal makes doing this like a walk in the park!
BRILLIANT!0 -
