edited November 2024 in Success Stories
I started MFP January 2nd of this year. The first thing I did was look through all the success stories. I was so happy to see that people were accomplishing their goals, but I still had a negative view for myself. I kept telling myself I'd never get to post my own success story. That didn't stop me though, I worked hard all last month through the beginning of this month. I lost 19 pounds in a little over a month. I know it's a big number but I did everything I was supposed to. I ate all my calories, drank my water and went to the gym for 60 min M-F. I also stopped eating cookies every night, drinking soda, and ordering take-out every other day. So here I am 19 pounds lighter and I already see huge results. I finally get to post my own success picture. :) I still have a ways to go before I'm where I want to be...but I want to share this with everyone (especially people just beginning who are thinking they'll never get there like I thought when I first started). It takes time, dedication, patience, and hard work to get healthy. But the results and the feeling of being alive is sooo worth it!

    Awesome job! I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to read that other folks like me are not only winning the battle of the bulge but also the combating negative emotions. Keep up the good work and hopefully, like you, I can post my own success story!!! <3

    You know that's exactly what my tummy looks like and I sometimes feel like it will never shrink. Thanks for the encouragement (cw233) its great to know it can shrink in the near future!

    Exactly! I thought the same way when I first started, but it is shrinking! I just recently started incorporated more strength training into my routine (arms, thighs, legs and abs) and that's when I really started to see the changes in my tummy area. Good luck! If I can do this...you can do it too...trust me. :P
