Hit my goal today!

Options
Well today was the day I hit my arbitrary 30 lb weight loss goal. I wanted to share what works for me ... I began mfp in May while my husband was in the hospital for open heart surgery. I sat there in the waiting room thinking how our " eat whatever looks good" lifestyle helped land him there. To pass the hours, I opened a magazine and saw an article about My FitnessPal. I joined on my iPhone right then& there. And my journey began. My hubby pulled through, and he is a success story. We changed our lives - following a heart healthy diet of low fat/ cholesterol and low sodium choices. I have used mfp these past 5months and incorporate our healthy heart choices, losing 30 lbs and 3 clothing sizes. Hubby is down about 30 Lbs, too , and is getting stronger everyday. We are now healthy and continuing to make good eating& exercise choices every day. Oh - and I do enjoy my wine. I just log everything that goes into my body. Ok that's it! Sorry for the long post. I can offer this for new mfp - ers: stick with it , take your time, your goals will be realized. And always listen to your body!
