Well like everyone else on here I want to lose weight. I have seen my weight steadily increase over the years and I'm finally fed up with it. I joined MFP last summer and did pretty good for a couple of months before I fell off. My 2 biggest weaknesses are soft drinks and a midnight sweet tooth. I'm tired of always feeling run down, knees and back hurting. Any help would be much appreciated. thanks in advance Jimmy

    Jimmy! Hows it goin man. I hear ya on the soft drinks as that was always (still is a battle) my biggest weakness. They are adictive and super hard to give up! But man I tell ya, you can do it. Don't fall off the wagon this time brother. Stay on and stay strong and lose that weight!

    Hey man. I know your troubles. I love to drink Coke and my company made cans available for $0.25 a can and all snacks are $0.50. I could theoretically loose half of my weight. I decided to do the majority of my weight loss as my first goal weight.

    I have been using MFP since the beginning of the year. I think it is a much better method of keeping track of calories and fitness than the spreadsheet I was using.

    Feel free to add me to your friends.
