Hey y'all, just want to celebrate my first year here at MyFitnessPal.
Last year, after a lifetime of being fat, at a beefy 275 lbs I decided to lose weight in honor of my father, who had just recently passed away. I had always been too scared of failure to even try, but after seeing some great results from several friends who used MFP, I decided to give it a go.
All I did was calorie count. I vaguely modeled my diet after a diabetic-friendly diet, trying to shoot for low carb/sugar and high protein. This diet helped keep me satiated, and I stuck with it simply because it worked so well.
Here's me last year:
And here's me today:
And here's to the start of year two! And hopefully many more to come.
Only 3 more lbs to lose until I'm a healthy BMI, but I'm shooting for a final weight of 145 lbs before starting weight training.

Wow, your story hits home in a very real way for me. I lost my father in June, and started MFP in July. I've lost 22 lbs so far, and hope to stay the path and be able to post a similar success story down the road. Congrats on your hard work, and thank you so much for sharing. Reading this is just what I needed, and you've instantly become my motivation to keep pushing.7

You look amazing. I would start weight training now. I do a mixture of cardio and weights and have noticed a defininte change in shape - much more toned and rather than bulking up I look slimmer. They say more muscle burns fat faster, so could be a double win.3
