Finally Below 400 !!

Well done brother

I have no doubt that you can reach your goals. It's a wonderful accomplishment so far, and I'm so happy for you!

I don't know you but I'm so insanely proud of you!! Brag.... You deserve it. Well done. Keep rocking it.

Hello,
Below is the post I did several months ago when I started my quest to get healthy. Its been a little over a year now and I'm at my goal weight and fighting everyday to maintain it. I'd be more than happy to help you through your journey and maybe let so know some of the mistakes and good thing I did during my journey. Which by the way is never over, even when you hit goal. You can do it , I just made a commitment that every day, every thing that went in my mouth went on MFP. First tip: Over estimate your calories and under estimate your exercise. Hang in there and friend me if you would like. CCH200, Steve


\ Death, Bariatric Surgery, or My fitness pal

choose MFP !!

On 7/17/2013 I was 397.6 pounds, with high blood pressure, swelling joints, COPD, and facing Bariatric surgery. I was a time bomb of bad health. To prepare for surgery, I was introduced to MyFitnessPal and told to lose at least 27 pounds, before the operation. Being a lifelong dieter, I never thought I could count calories or measure my food. But I vowed to put down everything that went in my mouth on MFP. The pounds started to come off, the first surgery date passed, and then the second, and then I finally cancelled the surgery all together. Today 2/26/2014, I have lost 111 lbs. Dropped 2 of 3 high blood pressure pills, and am in better health than I’ve been in for a long time.
Along with the diet, I started to ride a bicycle due to being unable to walk far with a recent hip replacement. The first day I rode only 3 blocks, then that increased slowly as the weight dropped off. Now I ride 10 to 12 miles a day at blazing speeds and go crazy if the weather or something else makes me miss a day. It helps me lose, keeps me motivated to stay fit and has become an intricate part of MyFitnessPal program. My new body has even allowed me to wear some of those tight fitting bike clothes that a few months ago I would not be caught dead in.
Thank you MyFitnessPal and all my friends and supporters !!!!!

Go ahead and brag- you accomplished your goal! That's always something to celebrate ... just not with cake

I can't wait to hear more from you as you reach your next goal. Keep up the good work.

Happy Birthday and Congrats! Awesome birthday gift to yourself. I look forward to your post on your next birthday gift :drinker:
