people at work are starting to join MFP simply because they want the results I'm getting :) Theres seriously no better motivator than people coming to you and saying 'you said you're on some kind of app and thats helping you get healthy. you look amazing, hook me up'

:D

    especially gratifying is the fact that a couple of the PE teachers are making a lesson plan around BMR/TDEE to teach their 14-15 year olds about healthy eating for your own body :)

    What a great opportunity for those children! And you have had a big part in that, it sounds like, congratulations. Wear that pride, you're earned it!

    thats a GREAT NSV...

    not to be a Debbie Downer, but I hope they are active OFFLINE as much as ONLINE... ex- I saw a thread where someone said they joined MFP months ago and didnt lost anything... but when asked, they hadnt changed any habits since joining... as if just getting a membership would shed the pounds...

    theyre in my department so I can hunt them down :p nah i told them i'd share recipes and walk with them after work to get them started. One's a young dad so he wants to be able to run around with his soon-to-toddle son, ones a middle aged guy who just eats too much and one, the most inspired so far, is my immediate boss who literally put her computer on my lap and went 'i want to know everything'. I'm really open and honest and I've set them all up with the basics and things, and I'll check in with them, like my own wee club :p

    Dang, girl. You just joined in December and you're like an MFP billboard now. I joined in January and have only lost 8 completely unnoticeable pounds. How much have you lost?
