Hi! I'm Ariel. I am an ex athlete who has gained about 40 pounds over the last 4 years. 20 of which I'm trying to lose. I love love love food though so it's hard. I've started eating better. I've been running or working out at least 3x a week for past 2/3 months but I've accepted that my weight won't change substantially unless my eating habits do. So, for The last 3 weeks I've been eating salads for lunch during the week and oatmeal for breakfast. But it all fell apart during dinner.. but for the past 2 weeks I've been eating a healthy dinner as well. And that's where I am in my journey.

Hello! I'm a 42 year old mom of two. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I am trying to lose between 80-90 pounds. I lost about 60 pounds about 10 years ago using a weight loss program. Unfortunately when I stopped, it all came back on, plus some. For a while, I just decided that being overweight was just who I was and that was acceptable. But lately, I've been re-thinking this. My father is extremely overweight and has been steadily declining in health, mainly due to his Type 2 diabetes. I follow my father in most physical aspects. I do not want to go down the same path! So, after hearing about the MFP app from a good friend and seeing the results she is having (down almost 40 pounds!), I decided to give it a try. I have my daily calorie goal, and am eating so much healthier without relying on a "program". My go-to website is Skinnytaste.com. I absolutely LOVE it!!!! Even my picky 7-year old likes the recipes I have made so far. I am also exercising 4-5 days per week, for 45-60 minutes. Zumba is my favorite! I have been logging my food and exercise since May 20, and so far I have lost 11.4 pounds. Just a drop in the bucket, but definitely on the right path. I also am setting little rewards for myself for every 10 that I lose. I am getting a pedicure for my first 10...still deciding on my next 10... This is definitely a choice you have to make and have the mindset to see it through.

Hi there! I'm Donna, I'm 51. I'm 6 months post op from open heart surgery. I had a valve replaced. It was a sudden thing and I'm thankful I was as healthy as I am and recovered very well. But it has prompted me to loose my weight that I gained 15 years ago and have never been able to loose. I want to get healthier for the next curve ball! I hope I can find the support I need here and maybe help someone else at the same time.
Oh and I have two teenage boys at home and a husband who works a very physically demanding job. These guys eat like there's no tomorrow. I seriously need support!
