in Success Stories
One year ago today I stepped on a scale for the first time in a long time and was shocked to see my weight had reached 216 lbs. wow! I had no idea! This morning I weighed in at 175.8 lbs. A 40lb weight loss. I didn't join MFP until April with a starting weight of 194 lbs. Thanks MFP, I'm on my way to a healthy body weight. Another related success is that according to my BMI, I am no longer obese (such a nasty sounding word) I'm now classified as overweight.

High weight 216 lbs 7/5/11
MFP starting weight 194 lbs 4/16/12
Today's weight 175.8 lbs
Goal weight 145 lbs
Height 5' 5"
Age 44

Looking to add a few more friends with similiar goals. Feel free to add me if you want. At this point I'm trying to stick to the pre-set 1200 calories because it is working and trying to use the zig-zag method with calorie intake.
