So this is the first success story I have posted so hopefully the photos work!!
Just a quick story of my weight loss I basically was very lean/skinny/healthy in high school (graduated 2007) but as soon as college hit I gained a lot of weight! Around 60-70 lbs total in the past few years so I just have been trying to reverse time!
I never would have been able to loose the amount of weight without MyFitnessPal!
I have lost 30 lbs since March going from 190 to 159.6 I net around 1500 calories/day & try to work out a few times a week either running/roller skating/riding my bike & sometimes lifting weights! I eat "normal" to healthy food. I enjoy eggs, sausage, sushi, macaroni & cheese, salads, potatoes, spaghetti & other pastas. Fruit, vegetables, ect. Sometimes I buy organic or "natural" but a lot of the food I get is what I would just consider "normal" I don't typically buy packaged meals except like instant oatmeal. A big thing for me has just been actually recording what I eat & eating off smaller plates & having several snacks during the day!
So I started in 2010 at 202 lbs
at my wedding I was 190 lbs
the arm/body pictures are at 162 lbs
& finally the face picture is when I met my goal at 159.6 lbs officially crossing into the healthy bmi range!
I still plan on losing weight (I would rather be towards the middle of the healthy bmi range than at the line between healthy/overweight) but this is such a huge land mark for me I thought I would share!
thank you MFP for all your support!!
