Seven years on MFP

Seven years ago today I started using MFP. It was a gift beyond compare. I've been on every diet in the world and have gained and lost hundreds of pounds over the years but was at my highest weight. I'm 5 feet tall and weighed almost 180. I had high blood pressure. At the beginning I just wanted to lose 5% of my body weight because I had read that would make me feel better. I told myself I could eat anything, I just had to record it in my diary. I moved more and ate less but didn't do anything drastic. Over that first year I lost 50 lb. It transformed my life. I'm so much healthier. I'm stronger. I'm happier. None of it was a 'piece of cake,' so to speak, but it worked. Since, I've gained a few pounds and lost a few pounds. Right now I'm working to fight the sloth and indulgence of last winter. But i know I can. Hope you all have the same kind of success here.
