Proof of how this website will change your life

I was hesitant to put this in the Success thread because honestly I am a work in progress and I wanted to put this under motivation in hopes that my story will show you what YOU can do .I started MFP about 8 years ago I believe. At that time, I was creeping up to a size 14/16, wasn't even 30 years old yet and felt horrible. I had no energy, continued to eat whatever I wanted to and didn't exercise at all. I half heartedly joined Curves and continued my fast food binges, obviously not seeing any change at all, so I would give up, start over, give up again.
Then one day I started logging and moving and logging and moving. I realized that there are no quick fixes, no magic drinks or pills to take. Just good healthy eating and exercise. None of that would have been possible for me without this website. I even ran a full marathon along the way, something I never dreamed possible. So, I'd like to share a few pics with you. I had my first ever photo session this weekend and for the first time I felt really comfortable in my skin.
I look forward to seeing what Fitness Pal will do for you :flowerforyou:

Thanks for posting. Agreed 100%. The advice I can give people who doesn't know where to start or how to do this, is to just start logging. That is it. It is inevitable that you will make better choices once you see the calorie content of your meals and the "in 5 weeks you will weigh...." message will get you revved up for action :laugh:0
