in Success Stories
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!!

    My waist was 34 at the time of my wedding, its now 29
    My hips were 40 they are now 36

    I'm not sure what my arms/legs were at the very beginning but I have lost several inches off them in the last couple of months :)
