This is me in Jan 2015 and Nov 2015. My age is 53.

I credit 2 programs to helping me reach my weight loss goal in 2015.

1) Precision Nutrition. This is a 1-year, online, fitness/nutrition coaching program.
I was very happy with this program and my results after years of yo-yo dieting and binge eating.
Just sharing the link if anyone is interested. http://www.precisionnutrition.com/
It cost about $1,800 for the year (yeah a little pricey) but was totally worth it to me for daily accountability and support.
I worked out at home so had no gym costs. ~Pam RN

2): Overeaters Anonymous (OA). This is a free 12-step support group that helped me heal
my relationship with food so I could succeed in my weight loss.
Also highly recommend OA, which is for people of ANY size who struggle with overeating.
Here's a link to find a meeting. https://www.oa.org/membersgroups/find-a-meeting/

    I started at 262lbs. The first 20 pounds were lost under doctor supervision with phentermine. I only took this for one month as my resting heart rate was over 120 after the first month. The rest of my weight has been lost with MFP, CICO, and just being more active. I'm 70lbs down, with 50 to go.
    Edit: my pics didn't post.

    Last week was what I call my 1 year fitaversay. So far I have lost a little over 50 pounds in that time frame. I am not near my goal weight but I am definitely a lot closer than I was a year ago!
