Hi all,

Although I spend most of my time over at MyFitnessPal, I still check in here on a regular basis. I am done purposely losing, and attempting maintenance, using the MyFitnessPal app and website. It's a HUGE reason behind my successful weight loss. I just finsihed the Whole30, where I lost my last 5 lbs and spent a month eating 100% clean- no dairy, grains, or legumes, just whole foods. Along the way I learned how to read labels. During maintenanceI am focusing on eating "clean", and following a mostly "paleo" diet, avoiding highly processed foods in favor of healthy fats, vegetables and fruit, lean meat, eggs, no artificial sweeteners, limited full fat dairy, and eating organic when available and affordable. I do kickboxing, Zumba, and C25k. I am looking into starting strength training because with all the shoveling snow I have had to do lately, it's obvious I lost more than fat.

I hope everyone continues to do well- I am so glad I did it. It saved my life.

I too rely on my "my fitness pal" app. I keep a daily food and exercise diary on the app. I also keep track of my weight and measurements. Using this I am able to hold myself accountable. I would recommend everyone to at least try using it.

As for me and exercise......I finally upgraded my treadmill today. I've been walking at 4mph for 60-75 minutes daily. But now that I have a crosstrainer treadmill I'll be able to tone more. Also, I am looking forward to the cushioned deck.

I started this journey at 289lbs Nov. 2012. By August of 2013 I was down to 266lbs when I started my pre-op diet. I lost another 15lbs during that time. The morning of my surgery Aug 26th, 2013 I weighed in at 251. Today I weigh 195.

Good luck to us all.

You look awesome!! Congrats!

Snow shoveling, classic! You look great.

What an accomplishment!,

Absolutely amazing. Just stunning! I'm down to 304 preop and I entertained the goal of 140 but then I think I'll never do that. I'm 45 so in reality, 160 or 170 is probably more realistic. I imagine you feel great! Congrats! Very inspiring!

Amazing, beautiful I say. You rock.

Congratulations

Awesome job!

Absolutely stunning! You have done a great job!

U really look amazing!!!!! When was your surgery date?
