Hi from California
Hi, I am from California (Bay Area) 46, and need to loose 50 pounds. (only 4'11" so that is more that it even sounds!) I can relate to the post about 1 pound a week sounds slow, but they say it is better, and I am hoping with some exercise I can sneak in a few two pound weeks in! Right now my life is way to sedentary. I…

What Can I Say!!
Just sayin', "I'm BACK”! Throughout January and February, I've used MFP. I decided to venture off this month, and caught myself slipping. I have lost 20lbs in 2 months of using MFP, which isn't bad, to end up gaining 5lbs in 17 days. HAHA RIGHT!!! Anyways, I'm back on the bandwagon hoping to get back on track. You know…

Another Newcomer!
Hi all! I just signed up and am in love with this website! I'm on day two to eating better and love that everything is done for me, all I have to do is enter it in. Voila! I've always been extremely active, but lately my energy level and motivation has dwindled. About 16 months ago my husband and I started on the journey…

One Pound a Week - seems like a long way to go...
Hi, I'm new here as of today. I have about 50 pounds to lose and the system has guided me through at one pound a week. Hmmmm, the biggest loser is inspiring, but I guess it's not realistic for a 40 year old computer programmer to lose as much as they do since I can't work out as a full time job. Shouldn't I be able to lose…

Good afternoon...
So I thought I would stop in and introduce myself and ask for some advice. My name is Crystal and I am a wife and mother of 3. This is not my first time with MFP. I work in an elementary school and started using MFP last summer when my trainer suggested it. I did pretty well with it until August/September rolled around and…

Back to MFP after 2 yrs and new to P90X!
Hi All, I used MFP almost 2 yrs ago to lose over 25 lbs, and have kept it off except for 5 lbs that crept up since Christmas. I want to lose that 5 lbs, plus another 10 lbs as a challenge! I want to see some muscle definition! Anyone who is starting, or interested in starting P90X, and wants to chat and share along the…

Anyone from the Erie, PA area or anyone here work out at The Pennbriar in Erie, PA? Also... anybody here have any experience with exercising after cervical cancer…

21 and counting...
Hello! I've just signed up because a friend recommended we join together to allow us to keep each other in check. I'm a typical "yo-yo dieter" in that I can hop up and do a lot of good but when something happens in my life (depression, being sick, etc) I fall off the wagon. Hopefully this site will help with that. I do…

1 week down
Acttually started losing weight before finding MFP but I'm losing a pound a day, I expect that to slow soon.

Its a start! Finally!
In my earlier years, when I was really internally motivated, I could lose weight quite easily. In my 30'sand 40's, I jogged about 40 miles every week, ran in marathons,and had no weight issues whatsoever. For the past 15 years, the problem for me has been that, now that I am an old man and my bum knee prevents me from…

Hello
Hi everyone. I joined this website after I heard about it through another online forum and so far it looks amazing. I had a baby 3.5 months ago and although I lost all of the pregnancy weight, I was overweight to begin with, so I still have a ways to go.

Recovering from or engaged in dis/ordered eating?

I am using myfitnesspal to track my symptom use/patterns, and would love to befriend other individuals who are struggling with similar issues. My name is Jenny, I'm twenty-one, vegan, and live in…

Indianapolis area MFPers
My friend from high school's 19 yr old brother has been missing since Saturday night. He was last heard from via a text message sent in the 96th St/I-69 area in Fishers, presumably while driving his very distinctive 99 green mustang with tinted windows, spoiler and dented driver's side. He was set to return to Purdue for…

Hi :)
I have been on this site, and the IPhone app, for a little over two weeks now. I'm a little shy so I have been reading the message boards but have finally decided to introduce myself! Lol. I'm a stay at home mother to a little boy who is almost two months now. I'm engaged to my son's father. I just don't want to get…

Hello :-)
Hi there Found this application on the iPhone and I love it. I guess I should talk about my history. I used to weigh 14 stone/196lbs at the age of 21. I'm 5ft 4 and lost 3 and a half stone just under 3 years ago. I had managed to keep my weight off by eating just 1200 cals during the week, walking everywhere, going to the…

Freshmen 15 was an understatement for me
Hi My name is Derik. I started college last year. They say that most freshmen gain about 15 pounds but I went higher then that. I was 160 pounds in high school and I want to be back to around that weight. I thought that summer and activities during the summer would help me lose weight but it didn't help. I'm sick of being…

Hi
Ok so my 10yr reunion is in 4mths so I decided to really step up the weightloss and workout program. My main problem with weightloss is that during the week I do not eat nearly enough. After tracking it for awhile I was floating on 600-900 calories a day during the week and almost 2000 during the weekends (I ate out way…

A skinless, boneless , grilled chicken breast! Once…

Brand new - just joined yesterday!
I was shocked on Satuday to find out through a routine physical that I weigh 189 pounds.. I weighed around 135 before my first pregnancy (he is almost 17 now) so I guess I have been gaining weight ever since. But I had no idea it had escalated to this much!! I am 45 and have a neurological condition that prevents me from…

Bittersweet Australia
I came back from teaching in Australia for three and a half months at the end of September. It was an unreal experience (kind of depressing being back in the N.Y. after living on a beautiful beach for so long) Along with the amazing experience, I had managed to gain some lbs. despite my running everyday. They really love…

Didn't realize I was THAT big!
I went to a family BBQ and sat on a lawn chair. When the lawn chair broke I thought 'oh I didn't notice this chair was so weak. It wasn't until weeks later and I reflected on that day that a lightbulb went off...literally just pop.....I broke that chair with my weight. I was stunned. I have never considered my weight and…
