edited September 26 in Introduce Yourself
After 7 weeks on MFP I have officially lost 22 pounds! I have not been this weight in over 12 years! Today was the first time in a very long time that I am extremely proud of myself!

This site works! If you are struggling....just remember that....I have learned so much from here! The fact that I have lost so much well still eatting the same foods I enjoyed before has been amazing! I still have my treats and don't deprive myself of anything. If I am hungry, I eat....I just make some different choices.....

I will never give up my Easter Cream Eggs (well only around this time).....Well I took chips out of the house as I have no control over eatting them....nothing else has really changed!

Portion control and making sure that I am eatting enough each day and exercising!

I feel great and I just wanted to share!

If you are struggling...Keep Going....Slow and Steady does win the race!!!!

    These are the lessons that I've learned as well. This is not a diet it's a new relationship to food. Well done and keep up the good work. The next milestone is within reach!
