It seems like I joined MFP yesterday, but it has been more than a year ago now. MFP was the best thing I ever found. It helped teach me how much I was eating when it never seemed like that much to me. Now that I'm past my goal, I'm working on maintenance and possible losing another 10-15lbs. Thank you MFP.

I'm 5'6, currently wearing a US size 12 (M-L) clothes. I practice 5:2 Intermittent Fasting to lose the weight and improve my health. It's where you eat normally 5 days a week, limit 2 days to 500 calories. Since hitting goal to maintain, I only limit calories for 1 day a week (6:1) or eating during an 8 hour window (16:8).

MFP Starting Weight – 230 lbs (March 2013)
2 month mark – 212 lbs
4 month mark – 201 lbs
6 month mark – 186 lbs
8 month mark – 176 lbs
Goal (55lbs lost) - 11/26/13 - 56lbs lost (175 lbs)
10 month mark - 170 lbs
11 month mark - 169/170lbs
12 month mark - 167lbs

    You look great!! Congrats on your loss. I am also 5'6" and today I'm right at 173. I would like to lose more even though I can wear a size 12 now. Not sure how much more so I guess I'll know when I get there.

    Thank you everyone. Yes, I logged every single day, everything I ate. I also exercised mostly using my elliptical at home.
