4 year anniversary/success story

Four years ago this week I squeezed into my largest jeans. (I think they were a size 16) I managed to get them on, but I could barely sit in them. I felt miserable. I knew then that something had to change. I joined MFP, changed my lifestyle and diet, and lost 25% of my body weight. I learned to enjoy exercise, and to love running! My blood pressure went from borderline high to perfect. Today I feel great and I am still going strong in a size 4. In fact I am getting stronger every day! At my recent "check in" I had added over an inch to my biceps in 6 months, and an inch to my thighs and calves (this is good since my legs have been skinny all my life, even at my largest! Now I am improving my legs with muscle.).

Thanks MFP for giving me the tools to help me change my body and my life.

For all you newbies out there--you cando it!

Good luck to all!
