One year on MFP

So I missed making this post by just a bit! My one year FITiversary was on Jan 22nd 2013. That marked the day that I actually started using this (what I thought at first) confusing, pointless app that would never help me, that I had downloaded weeks before. I saw a loss in the very first week and I was hooked. I logged in for 255 days straight, but couldn't log in when we were on our honeymoon cruise in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, and I was so frustrated! Anyhow, before my Oct 6th 2012 wedding had arrived I had reached 71lbs lost! I am currently at that SAME weight but my body looks so different even from that point! My skin is still bouncing back, and I am toning and building muscle nicely now. I have taken up clean eating(still easing in and still make mistakes, but I am amazed at my own will power at times)and the difference is insane! I was always the "chubby" kid, or the fat friend. I have never been the size or in the shape I am in now even as a high school cheerleader/dancer/competitive swimmer. I just want to say thank you to the makers, and users of MFP, you have all changed my life forever! Can't stop, won't stop!

ETA-I know my ticker says 72lbs lost but it is really 71.8...so I personally still round down even though MFP rounds up :)
