    edited December 2024 in Success Stories
    I wanted to share my story with you all. Last year I was very overweight and unhappy. I put on weight since having 2 children and used to eat all the time and comfort eat. Last year I just had enough and did something about it. I started myself and soon found MFP. I'm 5 foot 1 and stuck with the 1200 calories a day to start with and got a treadmill which I started doing 5 times a week. I soon upped my calories to 1400 and as a rule ate no more than 1500 a day and 30 minutes on my treadmill a day. Also started walking.
    As the weight dropped of I felt confident again and knew I was never gonna go back to being the fat girl. I was a size 20 and now a size 12 which I never thought I was gonna be again. I'm never felt deprived and stuck with foods I use to eat but a lot less. I weigh all my food out now and save myself 100-150 every night for a treat of my choice and that's really helped me stay on track. Its all about getting yourself in the right frame of mind.

    Really is a case of eat less, move more and get some scales :smile:

      Did the same thing you did (gained after having kids) but from the looks of it, you took charge of your health about a decade sooner than I did!
      You look healthy and are a wonderful role model for your beautiful kids.
      Best wishes for continued success!
