I just wanna to say a big thanks to this website. I'm half a pound away from my original goal of losing 20 pounds. And it took two and a half months, after so many years of bad habits.

I still have some love handles, but being a dude measuring 6'1'' and weighting 170.5 lbs, I don't think losing more weight is a good idea. So I'll just focus on keep eating healthy and going to the gym and see what happens. If anything, I'll learn to love them.

Overall, I love the way I look. I don't feel self-conscious if I have to take off my shirt in public, I feel healthier than ever, I can go up a couple of stair flights without feeling I'll faint, clothes look nicer, people have noticed, the list goes on and on.

Folks, this site WORKS. It wasn't easy the first couple of weeks. But then it becomes so natural. The key is perseverance and thinking about your future self giving you a big thanks for your effort.

Thank you, MFP, and thank you guys for your support! Reading so many success stories helped me keep on track.

    Congrats! That's fantastic!

    MFP really is amazing. I never understood the appeal of online/community/weight loss stuff, until I joined here. When people ask how I've been losing the weight, I tell them "Exercise, eating healthy, and MyFitnessPal." I'm totally obsessed. :)
