Hi everyone....Happy Friday! :flowerforyou:

I have been an MFP member since April 25, 2010. I love MFP. For those of you who have been on it for a while, I know you know it works...for those newcomers....trust me...this program (for me anyway) is the BEST!

I reached my first mini goal yesterday. YAY!! (see ticker below) . Yesterday morning I weighed in at exactly 170.0. This morning I weighed in at 169.8!!! Hey....only .2 from yesterday BUT...I'm in the 160's and no longer obese....YAY...I'm now overweight!!! - (according to BMI calculations)

My point is that this program works. You know when you complete your food diary and it will say something like "if you have more days like this you will weigh ___ lbs. in 5 weeks. (That's not word for word exactly, but you get the drift). So five weeks ago, it told me I would weigh 169. So I marked that magic number on the calendar (June 18, 2010) This morning, got up, hopped on the scale and like I mentioned....169.8!!! It works...It really works.

I am a 1/4 of the way to my final goal and I couldn't be happier. :laugh: Thanks MFP! :love:

Just wanted to share...have a great weekend!!! :bigsmile:

P.S. I will be buying my mini goal reward this weekend!!

    Thanks fantastic!!! You have about the same minigoals as me (and I suspect you're the same height, 5'3"?) I can't wait to cross over into the overweight category, 5 more pounds to go for me! It's always great to see other people succeeding, definitely gives me motivation to continue :D

    Thanks for sharing! What a great idea to write that number down on the calendar and see how you're doing. Going to do that right now.
