in Introduce Yourself
I have been on MFP for two weeks now and I thought, "Duh...just another thing that 'says' it works!" Guess what...it really WORKS!!! I have followed what it says to do and I am losing.

I am so glad to be a part of MFP and I LOVE having FUN losing weight! I want to make a lot of friends on here so I can always come here for motivation.

I am a mother of two adorable kids, ages 3 and 7 months. Since I was married in 2004 I have just kept gaining. I reached 179lbs and vowed to never get past 180...SOOO here I am and I can't wait to look great this summer but most of all I can't wait to FEEL great about myself!

I am about 30lbs away from my goal weight but I will continue to use MFP to maintain that weight!

    I know how you feel. Ive lost 15lbs since being on MFP - started Feb. 5th and IT WORKS! Who wouldve guessed it! LOL! Ive tried every diet under the sun to lose weight and nothing worked. Who wouldve guessed that calorie counting and exercise would work so well. Not me! I was really skeptical when I joined....but Im so glad I did.

    I felt EXACTLY the same way as you! :smile: Who'd have thought that losing weight could be as easy as counting calories and getting exercise! :noway: :laugh:

    Thanks, I actually DID reach it, even lost a few extra. :bigsmile: But, for more than a year now, I've just been see-sawing back and forth with the same 5 or 6 pounds! :grumble: I'll lose a few, gain em, lose one, gain 3! :grumble: I think it's gonna be a never ending battle, but, thanks to MFP, I think I'll do ok! :smile:

    I definitely agree, MFP is great! I joined back in 2008, but did not stick with it. Then in 2009, I was going to the gym daily but I did not care about what I ate. Since Christmas time last year, I returned to this site and log in daily, I've lost 17 lbs, since then! What I love most, is that the site is free and we don't have to pay anything for anything we do. I stopped taking all those extra fat burners and everything! Nothing could be better the MFP!

    Welcome to your new lifestyle!

    I've lost 12 pounds in less than 2 months since joining here. I started dieting in November but didn't lose any real weight until I came here. The important thing is to keep up with the logging and you'll do great.
