Hi! I just wanted to finally post and share my success using MyFitnessPal. I've been using it for about two years - I achieved my weight loss goal in a little over a year and I've been maintaining my weight for over a year now using the ap.

I still keep my cheat days on the weekend usually - though I don't go overboard (usually a cheat meal) and thus I keep my calorie tracking to the half pound a week goal, which usually resets me in time for a cheat day.

Overally, I've been seriously impressed. Being able to look at food and effectively use math to maintain my weight has been wonderful. I've gone from a size 18 to a size 4 to 6.

    Thanks for posting. I could post a success story now, but I don't want to do that until I have lost and maintained, just like you. I have to wait about a year and a half before I know how serious I am. You are obviously serious about this. You look beautiful.

    Thank you so much, everyone! I wanted to treat posting to this forum as a reward to myself for meeting and maintaining my weight loss goals - I'm glad that I can be an inspiration and a testimony to the program being effective, and your cograts are really going to make my week! <3

    Wonderful success :) I love your idea of setting your goal to the .5 pound loss a week to compensate for any cheat meals...when I reach maintenance (soon I think!) I will definitely be taking a page out of your book!

    Congrats!! What did you do to firm up, have you had a tummy tuck or anything done?
