I broke through!
I've been losing a whopping pound or 2 each month since June (including vacations, family reunions, work stress, etc.) which was really annoying.

MFP, great program--helping me so much!
Hi! I'm not much of a poster, but I wanted to say how happy I am with this program. I had gained a little more weight after this summer--kind of depressed after spending the summer full-time with my little son and not really focusing on me--just on him. Also I turned 40 this year, so thought I must be going through some…

Finally broke the 200 barrier!
Today was the day--and a surprise at that. 199.8! I had actually planned on getting to 190 by my birthday (Monday), but I suffered some setbacks in August that slowed my progress way down.

What if they are already eating "good foods" and not "bad foods" but just too much food and too much stress and too much sitting down... and gained ten of those…
