I have decided to stop using the FatSecret site. I relied heavily on the android app to log my meals, but an unresolved bad update rendered it useless. I'm sorry to all my friends here but FS no longer meets my needs.

But rest assured that I'm still going strong! I've pretty much maintained my weight for a year now. I've enjoyed the break and I'm now going on to get rid of those last few pounds.

I may check in from time to time. Meanwhile I wish everyone here the best and hope you all manage to find the way to a happier, healthier you.

====================

In March 2011 I started a journey to improve my life. At a starting weight of 277 lbs, I was ready for the journey to a healthier me and it was the best decision I've ever made. I have now lost over 100 lbs.

Every single step of my journey has been charted right here on FatSecret. My food diary, exercise history and previous journal entries are all available on this site. I will always talk openly and honestly about my weight, body, and lifestyle.

I believe in eating real food, I eschew the concept of diets and I embrace the belief that life is for the living. I'm all about home-cooking, understanding where your food comes from and continually learning how to stay fit and healthy. My goal is healthy, not skinny.
