in Success Stories
Today marks the 365th day that I have been using myfitnesspal. Today I weighed in at 156 pounds which is exactly 70 pounds lighter than I was when I began my journey! I have a new found love of exercising, boundless energy, and a level of self confidence that I have never felt before. My original goal was 165 pounds, but myfitnesspal has made weight loss so easy, I am now only 6 pounds away from my new goal of 150 pounds (which is what I weighed on my wedding day 18 years ago). I have tried countless other methods of weight loss in the past, but only myfitnesspal has brought me continued success with no plateaus or feelings of deprivation. Thank you, thank you, thank you to the creators of myfitnesspal!!!

    Can you talk a little about how you did it--you're nutritional approach? I get really hungry, so if you've found a way to make this easy I'd love to know! Thank you for sharing your story!

    Good job!

    I need to ask, no plateaus? How did you manage that? I am on my 2nd (or is it my 3rd) and getting from annoyed and losing a bit of hope.
