74 lbs. DOWN in 6 months!
I'm pretty quiet, but I want to scream my progress right now. 🤯 I use MFP to calculate my calorie goals, track every bite, and exercise 6 days a week. There's no magic diet, pill, or crazy formula involved in these progress pictures. Just dedication to the process. Promise! I hope this motivates somebody. Keep moving…
Do you play World of Warcraft instead of exercising?
Do any of you folks play World of Warcraft? I do and sometimes I forget to exercise bc I feel like I've been running around because of my character running/swimming/climbing/battling. Does that ever happen to you?
