Hello everyone! I joined MFP about a little over month ago. I am super excited to report that in 5 weeks time, I have lost 9 lbs and that by strictly adhering to an exercise regimen, usually 5x a week, I have lost 15 3/4"!!! I have a lonnnnnnnnng way to go to reach my goal weight, but my short term success, so far, has exceeded my expectations. I am literally over the moon today, after weight and measurements check-in. Not going to give up this time!! If anyone would like to add me as a friend, feel free to do so, as I only have one and we could all use a cheering section!

Excellent! And good work. Reading your success motivates me to keep working at it. I just started one week ago and stumble across this site while browsing top apps for mobile phones. It has been so encouraging to read so many success stories and individuals who are actually doing it right. My goal is to re-educate myself with correct portions and choices.
Congratulations again to you!0 -
Thanks everyone for all the encouragement and the friend requests We all know it can be so hard sometimes to stay motivated and focused. This site has helped me tremendously with really thinking about the choices I make...I look food up here and of course on packages, etc, before I decide to ingest. I did do one thing that has helped me even more so. I gave myself one "Free" day, Sunday, where I can eat whatever I want and whatever quantities. Thing is, there becomes a sense of guilt involved, where I might nosh out on some chips or chocolate, but I wind up not overdoing it anyways LOL I think, from past experience, that many people fail at diets and weight loss programs when it becomes overly restrictive and when you begin to feel as if you are being punished. To avoid that, the free day has been a blessing. This way, I know that if I'm REALLY craving that chili dog or just can't live another day without pizza, I can do it w/o feeling like I'm cheating. And, yes...I do record it!0
