in Success Stories
I have been a big guy my entire adult life, but in 2008 I broke my leg and ankle and started not doing anything outside of work, and I really started packing on the pounds, fast forward to this year and I woke up on New years day (2014) and I felt horrible, I was sweating and had shortness of breath and I was just laying there, it was awake up I needed. I decided to create an account on MFP and start my new lifestyle, I knew I could lose the weight and in fact I lost 50 pounds in 2012 doing weight watchers, but gained all back in 2013. I have been so determined to make this more then a diet and a new lifestyle, in just a third of one year I have lost a fifth of my starting weight...20 percent!! I work out daily and keep my calories within the required numbers. I am so proud of myself and thought I would share my progress so far.

    great work on meeting your goals and achieving great results. That kind of reflection makes it easier during difficult times.

    Did you have a total diet change too so that those goals actually seemed like a lot to eat?

    And no ankle problems so far?

    As far as diet, I make sure I eat 3 meals a day, I do not eat out as often. I have also cut down a lot on drinking alcohol and no longer drink soda.

    My ankle pain was there in the beginning but with more weight lost I am feeling better I am able to run and do so much more in the gym.
