Let me start off by saying how much of a difference this MyFitnessPal has made in my life. I started back on March 15, 2015 and to date have lost 65 pounds. I used no magic pill, expensive diets, or gym memberships, just plain discipline and dedication. I've lost over 1/4 of my original body weight and can definitely feel the positive impact on my health and my life. I'd still like to lose around 10-20 pounds but I will take my time now that I've got the majority gone. I went from a type II obesity BMI to nearly normal, high blood pressure to an average of 90/60, prediabetic to normal, size XL to M, and a size 18 pants to a 10. I have a newfound love for shopping now that I like how things fit me and I'm so much more confident now. I lost so much of what I used to be but gained a whole new person in the process.
I found myself in these discussion boards looking at pictures and stories for motivation often along the way. I hope this helps some of you that might need that extra motivation. Feel free to add/message me if you have any questions and thank you to all that have helped me along the way!

ok, I just started (again) yesterday. I want to lose 50lbs (at least) and I am a size 18 right now. This is inspiring to know that it can be done without "magic". I have struggled with weight for 11 years (since being a mom) and I am ready to get ME back! Thank you for your story! You look awesome!0
