Hi everyone! My daughter told me and my hubby about MyFitnessPal on October 1st. We've tried everything and this is the first time we've ever really kept track of calories. I am so grateful that this is free! Both my husband and I have 100 pounds to lose.....we know we have a long ways to go but it took us a while to put it on. Instead of saying I have 90 more pounds to go....I say, I will never see this number on the scale again....and look forward to another pound that I pray will not come back again. Best of luck everyone!

Nice! :flowerforyou:0

Congrats!!, but remember to be realistic and that this is most likely water weight and might go up again. Yes part of it is weight loss, especially since you have a longer way to go per se. Just keeping you aware so that you don't come back with the ever so popular thread "HELP I gained 1 pound OMG"0

Thank you everyone for the positive encouragement! Yes...we know most of this is water weight and I know that my weight lloss will slow down soon. My goal is to lose between 1 1/2 and 2 pounds a week......that is what I would like to lose because when it comes off slow it usually stays off. Me and my hubby own a business....never take time off for ourselves, work all the time. When my daughter told us about this website, we felt we needed to do something. I know we are on the right track! We never ate all day and would eat at 9 or 10 at night....never exercised. So now that we are tracking every mouthful, it has been a REAL EYE OPENER! Man o' Man!!!! We had no idea how many calories we were eating!!! We are also walking every other day and playing different games on the Wii. It has motivated us to continue. Best of luck everyone!0

That first drop is the best and especially when its a good amount. It doesn't matter if its all water or whatever it still has to go! Enjoy the feeling, enjoy the learning. Good luck.0

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't been on here long but I have lost 156 lbs and my advise is just take it 1 day , 1 workout and 1 pound at a time...it all adds up!0

The way I lost the ten pounds was that I started keeping track of my calories (spreading out my calories through out the day). My husband and I way 30 minutes every other day. We use the Wii games to exercise at home. Oh....and we drink lots of water!!
Hope this helps you!0 -
Miss PINK 00774: Great advice!!! Thank you so much! WOW! YOU ARE INCREDIBLE.....LOSING SO MUCH WEIGHT! 156 pounds? Congratulations. How did you do it? Probably like you said.....1 day, 1 workout and 1 pound at a time......
Thank you for your support!0 -
That's fantastic! There are so many great people here with good ideas and info. I can't emphasize enough to get in to your doctor and work with him as well! You want to be healthy -- so his advice and guidance and supervision can be instrumental!
You're gonna lose an amazing amount of weight .. you're off to an excellent start! yay! Keep it up and don't be discouraged. Do a little research and don't be afraid to ask questions... no question is a dumb question!
Welcome!! I'm here 3 weeks myself .. but this has been a great experience so far!
Friend me if you like! Good Luck to you!! Cheers! :flowerforyou:0 -
Great work. And also remember that it's not all about the scale. Take measurements and photoes. I wish I did when I first started cause now I don't have anything to compare with. I took my first photoes about halfway through but I wish I took them earlier. Good luck with your journey
Also it's excellent that you and your husband are doing it together. You will succeed for sure 0 -
Awesome job! I'm glad you understand it'll slow down. Most people don't understand, get frustrated when they stop losing as much, and then give up. 0

Wonderful! You are right--just seeing what you are eating increases your awareness. Also you are exercising more. I would bet that you walk quite a bit each day. Every little bit helps. You have made a great start. When you lose 1-2 pounds a week. Know that it will happen. Good luck!0

Congrats on starting your healthy journey, and for the 10 pounds! When I started in Jan., I lost 10 pounds the first week, then maintained the next. I was so discouraged, but my friends let me know that that was only one week in my long journey. I'm loving this lifestyle, and I hope you will too!0
