No longer obese!!

in Success Stories
I've lost 7kgs (just over 15lbs) since joining MFP, and have just reached my first goal! According to my BMI calculator I am now no longer obese! Still a long way to go to my ultimate goal, but it's incredibly rewarding looking at the scale.

I haven't found it particularly hard so far. I've drastically increased how much exercise I do and stopped drinking too much beer and switched to white wine instead. I now cook every meal for myself so I know exactly what I'm eating and logging every calorie.

Although it's a small step, I couldn't have done it without MFP and everyone on here. When I can't really be bothered going to the gym I take a look at 1 success story here and I'm on the treadmill 15 minutes later.

Thank you all!

    Thank you everyone!

    Hi Christine, no problem at all. If you're looking for motivation you're in the right place. Before I started with MFP the thought of getting on a treadmill nearly gave me a cardiac arrest. Now it's a routine, something I just do everyday. I don't even think about it. I will add you as a friend and we can keep in touch.
