Five years ago today I began my journey. Always overweight since childhood it was a constant struggle to try to lose weight. On my 53rd birthday I was getting ready for work and had to come up for air three times while trying to tie my shoes. I sat up and thought I’m going to die early from this. Being an engineer I thought about it for a while and realized it is just a thermodynamics problem. I began my research into what program I should use to lose weight and get in shape. After three weeks of research I settled on MyFitnessPal app on the phone and I bought a Fitbit. I set out to do this and be successful. In 9 months I lost 60 pounds and a few more after that. It has now been 1461 consecutive days that I used the app and most of those walked at least 30 minutes. It works! 5 years and 68 pounds later I’m still maintaining and feeling great. Thank You MyFitnessPal for the tool. It truly works. Bernie

    Well done, that's what i tell people i work with. I see them talking or doing some sort of fad diet but you never really see any lasting results as they end up putting the weight back. I tell them to use MFP or a similar app it there is one, and that's all they need to start with. Still waiting to see at least one person to take my advice....
