Hello :) I'm new to this site and I'm really excited. I had a baby 15 months ago, and have lost 50lbs already since I've had him. I'm looking for new tools to use to help me reach my goal weight (which I haven't seen in years) and I'm excited to meet some new people as well.

    Welcome. I am finishing my 6th month on MFP and I love it. It's the best decision I have made in many years. I have lost weight with diets many times before, but it was never a lifestyle change. This time is different; it's a lifestyle change, not a diet. Good luck on your weight loss journey. Please feel free to add me as a friend; we can help motivate each other.

    Welcome to the site and a big CONGRATULATIONS on your success so far! That's amazing. I joined in February because I had gained 44lbs during pregnancy and needed help getting it off. I was slow at losing (mostly by letting wine and cheese derail me) but had success with this site and the awesome support I got here. Now my son is 18 months old and I'm pregnant again! I left the site for about 2 months, and realized even in pregnancy I need help with self control and not eating everything in site because I can, so I'm back to counting. I think you will meet your goal with your determination and with the help of this great community!

    Jayne : I'm glad that you have had such amazing results after using this site for 6 months! I love how you said this isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle change.

    Naguilar : 90 lbs is amazing!! Congrats on all of your hard work!

    Melissa : Congrats on baby number 2! And I can definitely relate to you with the pregnancy weight and the lack of losing it due to cheese and other various foods. I hope that you have an easy pregnancy and you will definitely be one hot momma!
