My name is Amy. I'm 213 lbs. 5'4! This is the heaviest I've ever been. And I've had 4 kids, never was this heavy with my pregnancies. Due to some health issues like high blood pressure and low oxygen levels I need to lose the weight. My goal is to be 150lbs. Can anyone share of their stories with me. I got a gym membership Friday and I now have MFP. Ready for this weight loss journey.

I’ve lost 40 pounds in about 120 days since being on here. The motto that I try to live by is: you can’t outrun a bad diet.

I didn’t cut out everything (food-wise). I still have drive-through like once a week but I just try leave like 500 calories on the table (daily) to hit my weight loss goals. Also, I don’t do any cardio at the gym but I do average like 3-4 miles walking daily. It’s also synced into my calorie counter on here. Which has helped. And trust me: I’m not blessed with great genetics or a high metabolism. Good luck. Message me if you have any questions. Peace.
