    NICE WORK! Way to go. Nothing like a little tracking and focus help courtesy of MFP to get great results! Well done.

    Yes, it does work, and so far it is working for me, we all need to be accountable to someone or something, or we are out there bouncing around like a ball against 4 walls...

    I have been at it for 14 months now. I've just been logging everything I eat and exercise at least 3 times a week. Its a lot of hard work, but soooo worth it! :happy:
