Hey Everyone! I've been using my fitness pal for about a year now so I'm not exactly a new member, but never posted anything on here yet, so I figured I would share my success story!

The first picture was from December 5th, 2014 (170 LBS) and the 2nd was taken March 28th, 2015 (145 LBS). In 2014, I began to feel that my weight was starting to get a little out of hand and wanted to do something about it, so I joined my high school swim team (which isn't really hard to do aha!) in hopes that it would help me to get fit. Then I discovered MyFitnessPal thanks to my teacher and gave it a shot.

During the swim season, I would eat at maintenance and managed to lose 15 pounds! It wasn't until after the season that I decided to eat at a deficit and truly try to drop some more pounds. During this period, I managed to lose 10 more pounds, bringing me to a total of 25 pounds lost! MyFitnessPal has helped a great deal with changing my life and habits when it comes to eating. It is something I can use to stay fit for the rest of my life! By the way, this transformation took place when I was 17. Anything's possible!!!

    Great work! You look so much healthier! I love seeing a young person take control of their eating and exercise habits. They're life long and will serve you well :smiley: The only thing better than losing weight is not gaining it in the first place!

    Nice job! You look happier in the second picture, but that could be because you look like you're concentrating in the first one :smile:
