Preaching the program

Inspired by my nephew's 101 pound weight loss and an increasing need for a bigger mirror to fit all of me in, I decided to give give MFP a try. In less than one month in I managed to drop 18 pounds. During a Christmas party last night I became the center of attention with my achievement and soon found myself preaching about how well this program works. I have already found that telling others of my success quickly gets peoples attention. I should have passed around a plate. AMEN

Lol! Nice one. Quite a lot of my friends have joined here but not actually used it once they joined. I guess once they start noticing my weight loss they might take another look here.0

I often feel like I'm doing an "infomercial" , but I feel like I NEED to pass it on.0

HA! AWESOME.
4 Times in the last 6 months I have found myself giving a lecture in the grocery store. I am standing in an isle and before I know it, there are between 3 and 6 people listening to me. My husband told me I needed to go to figure out how to make money from it or go to work for Whole Foods teaching classes.
The way I look is a side effect of what I am doing for myself. The best part about what I am doing comes from the accolades from my doctors. My rheumatologist wishes every one of his patients do what I do, then they would not have to take so many pills and they would have a better quality of life.
We need for people to get out of the mentality that they are DIEting and make being healthy a lifestyle, not a horrible chore that makes them cranky and miserable.
I actually carry this soap box with me at all times.
