Congrats on your weight loss. I hope that your illness has subsided and you can make the most of MFP and your new fitness! xx

That's fantastic Allie! Way to go. Good luck with those last few pounds.

Hi! I am just under 5'3" and my starting weight was 218 pounds. I lost 6 pounds in my two weeks. I am hoping to lose another 2 pounds this fortnight.
