One Year Ago

Postby awackywabbit » Wed Jan 23, 2013 12:07 am

I had a BMI of 41.7. Today my BMI is 33.6. I lost 50lbs in one year. This is something that I never believed I could do. I have kept a blog about my journey for the past year and today I reflected on that year so feel free to pop over and read my thoughts.

I would like to thank Dr. McDougall for all that he has done to help me make this change. I have never met the man but his appearance on the documentary "Forks over Knives" and his book the "Starch Solution" literally saved my life.

I look forward to the year to come and finally getting down to a normal weight.

I thank all of you here for sharing your lives and experiences on this board as it has helped more then you know. I cheer all of you on that are making your own journies towards health and a better life.

Congratulations on your success.

You tell it so eloquently in your blog: " I know better now. I won’t let the failures I made in my life define who I am."

Wishing you a wonderful year to come!
