“God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it’s me.”

One year ago today on July 20th 2009, my friend Mae posted those words of wisdom to her Facebook profile and it changed my life! From that moment, it clicked and I made the decision to live a healthier lifestyle.

So here I am! One year later! 50+ pounds lighter, I’m eating clean, exercising, and feeling the best I’ve felt in years! Maybe the best I’ve felt my whole life!

I am forever grateful to Mae, and also to MyFitnessPal.com for giving me the tools to succeed. If I can do it, anyone can!!!
