Hello all, I've been using MFP for about 2 months now but have yet to realize how beneficial the message boards are. I'm glad I finally did. I see lots of people have some really good advice and I could use some encouragement and motivation through my weight loss journey. I can only imagine it's a lot easier when you share your experience with others going through the same process.

I had my son last July and have lost close to 70lbs since he was born. I'm finally down to my pre-pregnancy weight (actually, lower. I'm the smallest I've ever been as an adult) but now that I know how great it feels, I want to lose more! I have 25 more lbs until I reach my first goal weight. and I've already lost 145 since high school. I'd really like to make some friends on here so we can inspire each other!

    Hi all! My name is Nikki. I live in a small town with my husband and our dog, Bentley. I am a 7th grade teacher in a small school district. I initially started MFP several months ago, but have decided to track more regularly to get off the pounds. I know it works. In the past, I've lost 8 pounds in 5 weeks by tracking what I eat. I know I can do it, I just need to be stricter with myself. I'm back on here and working out more because I'm sick of not fitting into my clothes and looking "lumpy" in the ones I can fit into.
  • thanks mumma! it's been a long, hard road but i've finally found somewhere where it feels like the weight is just falling off! i love mfp!
