Hi
Hi everyone, I love MyFitnessPal. It has helped me lose weight.
Losing weight
so happy to start this weight loss journey, start at 300 pounds on sept 10 and now as of oct 9th i am sitting at 293.
What have I become?
Yesterday, I went on the scale for the first time in years... 90kg. Being 165cm that is obesity. Surprise and disappointment. Dissapointed in myself, it's all my fault at the end of the day. I'm ready to take charge. Hi I'm Jess. Hope we can all give each other strength on our individual journeys!
