Before & After

My Fitness Pal has truly changed my life. If has helped me loose around 50 lbs! Growing up, I always struggled with my weight. I was also diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 15 which made weight loss that much harder. The amount of bullying and self esteem issues I endured were immeasurable. The bullying caused much mental scaring which I hope to one day overcome. It is a struggle, but I know I will conquer it. Before my PCOS diagnosis, I had seen every doctor imaginable and have tried every diet out there. Nothing was successful which was extremely discouraging. It wasn't until 3 years ago, at the age of 20, that reality of my situation struck me. At a doctors visit I was told I was pre diabetic and had to loose weight. I was extremely upset and knew that I needed to finally figure something out. Not only was my weight hurting my emotionally, but now was jeopardizing my health. Playing around on my phone I discovered myfitnesspal and decided to give it a try. It was the best decision of my life. In one year I managed to drop 50 pounds. This taught me that all weight loss comes down to is eating right and consuming the proper portions. No fad diet out there allows the weight to stay off. It has to be a lifestyle change in order to have success. My weightloss has completely changed my life for the better. It has helped my self esteem and I am no longer pre diabetic. I am not finished with my journey, but I hope to achieve my goal weight by the end of the year.
