in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I'm back on my fitnesspal because I miss the community! Just want to share my story to new people. The picture on the left is me at age 17. I took action at that age before college and lost 60 pounds through limiting calories, carbs, and lots of hard work at the gym. The one on the right is me this past weekend. I'm assuming I'm about 150 pounds but usually just use how my clothes feel to determine weight loss. I have kept the weight off consistently for 7 years by keeping with a similar diet and trying to get to the gym. Been struggling lately with finding time due to a busy work schedule so figured getting back on this app may help for motivation :) if anyone wants to add me or message me I'm more then open to making friends and having a great support system! yhju5nl3w2rj.jpeg

    Congratulations on a job well done. Great motivation for the rest of us who aren't even close to goal and worry about how we're going to keep it off. Thanks!

    You're so smart to have recognized the need to act when you did. Congratulations, you have achieved something at which few people succeed and that is changing themselves. Way to go!
