One-year difference (mind and body) PIC HEAVY
Hi My Fitness Pals, I'm struggling lately with eating too many sweets, so I thought I’d inspire myself and stay accountable by posting my before and during photos.

Down 37.5 pounds
I have lost 37.5 pounds so far! I am 5 feet, 3 inches tall and started at 222. I now weigh 184.5. My first goal is 160, but I may try to go to 150. I started MFP after I had already lost a few pounds. What I am doing: 1200 calories, 75 carbs, 100 grams of protein. Those are the nutrition goals established by my doctor. I…
