Hello!

Its my 1st birthday on MFP so i thought i would share it with everyone...

.... Whilst being on my journey, i have lost a couple of lbs, gained a few and maintained a steady weight... Honestly without this site i dont know where i would be! With all your support i feel like i have a sensible grasp on food choices (not all the time:laugh: ) which has helped me stay the same weight'ish!

The next couple of months i want to set myself a challenge of loosing about 5lbs.. its not much but i think it is a sensible amount for me to loose..

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY to anyone else that joined in October 2008... I would love to hear about the journey you have made over the last year.. :flowerforyou:

    Happy anniversary Katherine! :flowerforyou:
    Mine was in April of 08. It took me 8 months to lose the weight that I wanted. The rest of the time has been spent trying to maintain, and MAYBE lose a few more, just to have a little "leeway". Mostly I just yo yo between the same 5 or 6 pounds though! :grumble: :laugh:
    I don't plan to ever leave MFP, because I've read too many posts about how members go away and gain the weight back! :blushing: I do NOT want to be one of them! :noway:
    Hopefully you and I will be able to stick with MFP forever, and NOT gain, and maybe even lose a few more! :smile:

    Happy Anniversary Kathrine!

    YOU HAVE DONE WONDERFUL!!!!!! Keep it up.

    it will be 2 years in April for ME!. Initially, I lost 30 lbs. then I gained 10 back because I stayed away from logging in my food and not exercising as much this summer,

    Now, I am struggling to get back on track and feel that if I did not have this site I would have gone and gained all of my weight back and some. (Something I seemed to have done the past 20 years.) Not happy about the weight gain but I am constantly listening to my inner self to stay on track.

    This site is the best. We all need each other.

    Hi Bren New also.

    :heart: Kathy

    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! :happy:

    Last month I celebrated my 1 YEAR on MFP also as well as my 1 year smoke free (which led me to using this site). I am happy to say that I am only 10 lbs away from my goal that I set. Fell into a bit of a slump over the summer...didn't gain weight though while I was off of MFP...from analyzing food so much being on this site and maintaining a steady workout regime I maintained my weight. Happy to say I'm back on track and have lost 3 lbs since coming back faithfully to MFP a couple of weeks ago. Time to get to my goal!!

    Good luck on the rest of your journey!!:bigsmile:

    Happy Anniversary!!!!!!!!! I have been here for 9 months as of yesterday, so that was special to me seeing as before MFP I had only done a "diet" for 2 months at the longest.This is now a lifestyle change to me instead of a dite. I will be so excited to be here a year, which is coming up in January. :flowerforyou:
