I'm 55 year young woman who had been having ups and downs with weigh problems. With health problems I decided I needed to do something that would be successful longterm, so I started watching my food intake and portion control. I started March 2010 weighing 315 pounds and my first goal was to lose 55 lbs by my birthday 10-10 which I would turn 55 :D , I did it and continued my journey, my beautiful petite daugher introduced me to my fitness pal :) It got easier to track the food intake and continued losing weight and this week I am at a total of 100 pounds lost. I don't remember weighing this much since my youth. I still need to lose more , now I'm feeling great and my meds are being lowered and I just wanted to share this awesome journey.
My next goal is to be under 200lbs , I'm confident that I can do it after coming this far.
