in Success Stories
I am currently down 75 pounds and want to share my progress.

I am 6'0 tall, have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome), eat modified Paleo (50-100 grams of carbs of day, with 1-2 days were I go above that), and do Jazzercise 4-5 days a week.

I have lost and gained many times before and have had issues with binge eating. However, treatment for a foot injury Labor Day last year revealed that I had elevated blood pressure and I knew that I had to act so I started exercising and logging with MFP.

Here I am at my highest weight in July 2013:

    WOW! Congratulations big time! You were beautiful in your "before" picture and even foxier in your "after" picture. Thanks for sharing your success story. It's encouraging to me because I too am using a modified Paleo diet and it's really working for me. Nice to know I'm not the only one. By the way, if you don't mind my asking, did the blood pressure go down with the weight loss? Once again, great job!
