Thanks to sparkpeople, I think I am getting better with age! Last year on my birthday, I was a little over 20 pounds heavier and 2 pants sizes larger. I was overestimating what I ate big time, especially when I got the munchies late at night. Now I'm at the lowest weight I've been since probably middle school, shopping is fun again (maybe a little too fun ;) ), I know what a true portion size is thanks to tracking, and I know I can keep up these results long-term instead of yo-yoing like I did in the past because this is the way I live now, not what I'm doing until I get to my goal so I can go back to what I used to do. Thank you sparkpeople for changing my life!
