      I think that she means for a year of trying on her own she had little success and then after joining mfp she lost 9 pounds in a month. Congratulations OP :)

      Ah ha! I had the same year. In my case, I had joined MFP but didn't use it so I didn't have great success. I only lost 10 lbs last year. I'm looking forward to a successful month like you have had since I'm using MFP properly.

      That is such a big difference! Great to hear! Way to go!

      This is such a nice post! I love to see happiness result from "loss"! I gained a little back recently, but had lost 11 pounds by using MFP and being diligent and honest! Before that, I would try and try and try, but just keep going up a little, down a little. So to be a solid 8 pounds less than I was last year at this time, makes me happy!

      Congratulations and thanks for posting a happy success story!

      If you could see my full report for awhile I would like three steps forward and 2 steps back, but I made it and so are you. Still got a ways to go but I'm actualy looking forward to it.

      Well done it feels great to feel the weight come off. I am new to the forum but joined mfp in may 2012. Long story short I have Addison's disease and ME on steroids for life and my dosage had been wrong for a while resulting in my getting to 190lb. So dosage now right and lost 22lb since may which I am happy with. Would really like to hit my target of 30lb loss by this may but I not going to bust a gut over it!

      Keep up the good work everyone MFP has got to be the best way to lose weight and keep it off.

      All the best
