My Reveal!

edited November 16 in Success Stories
I started my journey in May 2016 and have since lost 50 lbs and went from a size 16 (US) to a size 6 or 8! To facilitate my weight loss I have logged my food intake faithfully on MyFitnessPal, used Fitbit to help me monitor movement and Leslie Sansone for help with that movement. It has been an educational and joyful life change that will help me live the rest of my life looking and feeling great. I have never posted pics before, so I hope these work! The angle I am standing is different, but I think you will see the change. The before picture was taken at my oldest daughter's wedding in June 2015 and the after picture was taken Saturday at my baby's wedding. Oh, I am 55 years old.

    You will! So many of my friends and acquaintances have asked my "secret" and of course there is none, except, I would say, just staying the course! Good days, bad days and days in between -they all will happen all of our lives, just stick with it!

    Thank you! MFP started me with a base of 1280, then of course, the activity calories added in each day of which I ate back about 1/2, maybe less at first. For the first three or four months I averaged about 1400 or 1500 calories a day, then I upped it to about 1500-1600 for the next three or four months, and for the last several months I eat 1700-1900 everyday.

    Yes...this has been my sole source of exercise; I change up which one I do almost daily including some of her toning and strength training. She really makes my body and mind feel great!
