    Age: 34
    Height: 6' 0"
    Starting weight: 320 (my starting weight for my MFP setting was actually 311, but unfortunatly I went UP after I started before I got serious)
    New weight: 194
    Calorie intake daily: 1,800 ish
    Exercise routine: Cardio (running) with Weight Training, and Ice Hockey a couple times a week.

    My journey began by wanting to get healthy last March. I went into it with that mindset, and for once, actually LOSING weight was an after-though! I started eating right, and following MFP suggested settings and did not work out, other than playing Ice Hockey once a week, and the weight started coming off. This obviously motivated me further and about 6 months into the routine, I started adding cardio, walking at first, then faster walking, evolving into jogging, then running. In Jan. of 2013 I finally re-introduced weights into my daily regimine, and life could not be better! Just one week ago, I ran 10 miles in 80 minutes, granted it was on a treadmill, but I still did it.
    Today I am 16 days away from logging my food into MFP for 365 days in a row, and like I said previously, I could not feel any better about the way I have changed my lifestyle with great help from this site/app!

    New weight: 140-142
    Calorie intake daily: 1460 NET

    Exercise routine: has changed so many times over the last year. Currently weight lift 3X a week (btwn 45 and 60 minutes each session) and and almost daily cardio for at least an hour (treadmill or glider). I'm trying to cut down on the cardio and concentrate more on gaining muscle/losing fat, but it's hard because I lost all of my weight with only cardio (and healthier eating) until the first of this year.

    Exercise routine...when I get the chance I like to walk or workout on my bowflex. I live in NE so walking right now isnt a choice since snow and cold isnt my friend. I look for my weight to come off more once I get outside and start moving.

    I have recently switched my macros to lower carb which seems to be working for me. Loving the results from the 30 DS, I'm on L3 Day 3 and have lost a total of 9" from my waiste, hips and belly button, wasn't sure it was working but it is!

    Great post, like to see what people are doing! Love MFP and success stories, it keeps me motivated!!
