My journey started in June 2014. I began logging and have done so since the first day. In 10 months, I went from 264lbs to 175lbs. I had inspired myself so much that I just decided to keep eating healthy, using myfitnesspal, exercise on my own and some with a trainer. By the time Fall came in 2015, I had lost 120lbs. I have never felt better in my life. I will be 35 next month and this is the first year since I was a teen that I will be wearing a bikini. Myfitnesspal has been such an awesome tool. I love being able to log my food, read articles, and interact with friends, etc. I owe a lot of my success to this app!

    Woohoo! You still have that beaming smile too, which is fantastic. I'm a year older than you, so it's good to see even us mid-30's are having success. :smiley: Congratulations, and may your journey from here continue to be successful!

    You are giving me so much hope that it can be done. I started in January with a goal of 120 pounds. I am down 39 so far. You look great.

    Great job. You look fabulous. I'm starting at about the same weight. What was your daily calorie allotment when you started, if I may ask? Thanks

    How amazing you are! My SW is 270 so this is truly inspiring to me. I am curious if you have loose skin? I am guessing not because of your bikini comment!

    I did but only in my stomach. I did have a set of twins. The rest of my body went back fairly well. I had to have a tummy tuck.

    Trust me, if I can do it...so can u. I use to be the laziest person alive but I was getting very unhealthy. My daughter finally said, "I want a thin mommy". Made me very sad.
