Holy ISH! I lost 8 lbs and didn't even know it!

So, I haven't been following MFP 100% perfectly, some days I'm over my calorie goal, some days under. But I have been walking more, and have been logging every single damn thing I put in my mouth. I noticed my jeans were feeling a little looser, and my blouses a little more blousy around the hips (I'm pear-shaped.)

Down from 227 to 218 in about a month and a half. Not exactly the 5 lbs lost per month, but this is amazeballs!

In the past, I've done OA, I've eaten too little and walked 2 miles per day. At my skinniest I was 119 lbs and growing yellow downy fur on my face. At my heaviest I wonder if I actually got over 300 lbs, eating and drinking my way through a long-term unemployment and my downward spiral.

This has been the easiest weight loss for me...ever!

Please don't ever discontinue this app, MFP. I will CRY if you do.

Oh, also one of my friends asked me if I was losing weight the other night. I hope to tell him about MFP. I think he'd find it useful, and he loves phone apps. If you treat weight loss like a video game, it helps.

Congrats!!! that is an amazing loss!! Especially when it sneaks up on you like that :-)

Thank you!

...It's so weird! XD

One thing that has helped me is to not own a scale. (I have had trouble with obsessive weighing in the past...) So, the GNC near my work has one of those coin-op scales that you put two quarters into, and it prints out your results. I have the slips taped into my dayplanner for motivation.

Awesome. Great job!

I'm hoping this is me this week. I've been struggling to lose weight for the week couple of weeks but I can tell my clothes have become looser.
