My success story :)

Hey guys, my name is Kalie and I have lost 82 pounds! I began my weight loss journey on July 1st, 2013 weighing in at 232lbs, 5"6. Over Christmas was the first time I gained a few pounds of weight and after watching myself cave into my food addiction, I decided to make a change. I am now on an 8 week challenge and I am down 8 pounds. Only a few pounds away from my maintaining weight of 150lbs. I would like to reach my goal of 140lbs by my wedding day but for now I am excited to just loose these 6 pounds I gained! One step at a time!! I find loosing the weight is the easy part, it's maintaing the weight that's the hard part. Once I get my mind set I don't allow myself to cheat... But once I allow myself to fall off the wagon, I really struggle and fall into the trap of fine dining, events and get togethers surrounded by food. Myfitnesspal has changed my life. It's made me accountable for what I put into my mouth! Without it, I would never have lost any of the weight and I would be an unhealthy role model to my 4 year old impressionable daughter. Congrats to all of you who have lost, gained, maintained and make the effort to be accountable!
