I've tried everything i could to do right and lose weight and i found this app on my phone yesterday and fell in love with it. Today i decided to check the online options and was so amazed at the support you get. I wanna lose 70lbs altogether but my short term goal for now is 40lbs. I just started my personal trainer 3 weeks ago, so i should be on my way.

    I started in Jan this year and set the same goal of 70 pounds. Feel free to add me if you want. I have logged 130 days and have lost 35 pounds! I started slow but now I exercise 6x/week and eat very well with all those extra calories. It has not been too hard since I use to think a diet meant you felt starving all the time. I found out I WAS starving myself and not losing much or if I did, I gained it right back. I love MFP. Now it is a lifestyle and that has made all the difference. You can do this! So many here find success and keep it off too.

    I just kinda stumbled across the app too and fell in love with it. It's even better once you get some friends online - the support and encouragement are amazing. I've never been into the forum thing online, but now I'm hooked - everyone is so nice and makes me feel so good about keeping on track. The success stories are so motivating too. Feel free to friend me! Good Luck and Good Eating!
