edited July 2018 in Success Stories
I have been wanting to make a MFP success story for over 5 years now.

I am 5ft 1inch. I started at 247 pounds in January, I am now 183 pounds. I did a few dietbets and that is the only reason I even have pictures of my success, because I am always embarrassed to take photos.

I eat 1500 calories daily, when I started I averaged 2500 steps a day. I now average 5,400 steps a day (I go for long walks/trails/hikes any chance I get).

My goal weight was 150 pounds, however I need to weigh 130 pounds to be a "healthy" BMI. My heart is full today :) I will post another success story once I get into a healthy BMI range!

There were a lot of days where I blew my calories (like, really blew them) the difference between now and the dozen times that I've failed is that now I wake up and start a new day. I don't give up anymore.

I also made a weekly weight in group on MFP where I weighed in weekly for 3 months, this also helped me stay accountable :) I am about to start another one, if you are interested feel free to PM me.

My favorite part of this story: My face feels normal again. I am able to exercise, I have gained motivation. I started at a size 20 and I am now a loose size 14.
