MFP Veteran Coming Out of the Shadows

Hi MFP peeps!

I have been using MyFitnessPal since September of 2015 but have been shy in participating in the message boards. So, this is my official coming out.

It has been a crazy journey for me. I suffered heart failure in the summer of 2015 and was a mess - over 450 pounds with one foot in the grave. Since then I have lost 245 pounds. My key tool in losing all that weight was MFP. I log everything - if it goes in my mouth, I log it. I think that was what really made everything click for me. By logging everything I was being honest to myself and I became accountable.

Feel free to connect with me. I am happy to chat more about what I did and am always looking for new ideas and tips.
