After years of unacceptable excuses and self-rationalizations for my lack of discipline with my eating habits and gym attendance, my weight reached 275lbs. My knees hurt, my back hurt, I’d get winded rolling around with my kids, and just getting out my car required a rocking movement for momentum and some grunting. I decided I needed to make a lifestyle change.

I rejoined a gym and hired a trainer who directed me to start a food diary. Over the following year I lost 70lbs. I use Daily Burn to keep track of my diet, weight, and exercise logs. Daily Burn helps me hold myself accountable throughout the day really keeps me focused. I really think Daily Burn has been a key factor with my efforts to keep the weight off and eat healthy.

Last January I joined the biggest loser group at the church which included Fit4You Boot Camp. After about 3 weeks, I had to drop out due to a pre-existing knee injury. But part of the boot camp was monitoring of our food intake by the instructor Katie Holder Leister. Katie requested we go to dailyburn.com and join. The program computes the amount of calories you should be taking in along with protein, carbs, etc. I begin inputting my food each day. And as of today, I have lost 75 lbs.

Right now I've lost 57.6 pounds...still 4.4 until i reach my goal. I've been using DailyBurn for a year and a half & have gone from 217 pounds to 159.4 pounds! It still blows my mind to say that. :)

With the help of DailyBurn, I lost 55 pounds the year after having my second child, Penny. DailyBurn helped to show me how much I needed to change my diet and exactly why the weight had stopped coming off! I began logging all of my workouts and nutrition, which really motivated me towards a healthy diet and to complete my workouts. The Challenges helped to show how far I was progressing, and having friends cheer me on as Motivators encouraged me further. This year I completed the Iron Girl Triathlon in Columbia, MD and I am going to begin half-marathon training on New Year's Day. Every time someone asks me how I did it, I tell them to get on DailyBurn.com! It is the best tool for getting healthy and maintaining!
