Hi. I have actually been on the MFP site since 2007 but have logged regularly since August 2012. This time I have used the forums more and have added some friends and have found that having friends keeps you logging on regularly. It seems like I lost a little weight before and while I thought I could eat a healthy diet without logging I would eventually be off the diet (eating a little more of some things, etc.). I have lost 22 pounds since August 2012 and am close to my goal but I plan to keep logging so that I can maintain my weight and lose more body fat through healthy diet and exercise. Kathy0

Hi Linda,
I've been on MFP since last April 1. My goal was to lose 30 lbs and live a healthier lifestyle. I've only got 6 lbs to go and those will be the hardest. Having friends to encourage you and who understands the journey you're on really helps. The chat group and mini challenge group are also a lot of fun.
I've also joined the Gluten-Free group and the Food Allergy group because as of April 1 last year I had to go gluten-free because of a lifetime battle with a wheat allergy. Those groups in MFP have turned out to be very helpful.
Congratulations on taking steps to lose weight and lead a healthier lifestyle. Welcome to the group!:flowerforyou:
By the way, it is below average temps here in northern Illinois, too. Can't wait for Spring to arrive.0 -

I agree with you that the various forums help a lot. I've been on MFP since last April 1 and I only have 6 lbs to go. I also know that if I don't log I will go off track. I've known that for a long time, but I've always gotten bored with it. MFP really helps to keep me motivated. Maybe this will be the last time I will have to lose the same 20-30 lbs (LOL).0 -
Hi Linda! My name is Cindy and I have been on MFP for quite a while now and have lost 25 pounds so far(slowly). You will find tons of love and support here. Take it easy and make little changes at first and do what exercise you can and you will do great!0

Wishing you all the best on those last 6 #. It really helps to log the food. I'm wondering what I'm gonna do when we take the boat out this summer without the WEB.0 -

Hi and welcome, Linda!
First of all, good for you for deciding to DO this! And you can.
You're doing something important for yourself, and having friends here keeps you going. I can even say it's fun- work, but also fun, and MFP's process is so straightforward: eat right, log and exercise to the extent that you can.0 -
Hi Linda, I'm kinda new to MFP been here a few months , only found this lovely group, everyone is so helpful and you sure learn a lot which helps to not get bored and stray, that has happened to me many times. Wishing you good luck . Thanks to everyone for your support.

Welcome to the newbies. This is a super group. If anyone wishes to add me as a friend, please do, but only if you are willing to share your Food Diary and log in daily. Good luck on your journey to good health.

Hi Mary, I'm Ronna. This is the best place to be when you are looking for support and new ideas on how to live a healthier lifestyle at an older age. We also have a chat page and a mini challenge group that are lots of fun.

Hi everyone.
I want to give a warm welcome to the newbies here. As the others said, we are a good group and really encourage one another. It is just nice to have a place also where if we were bad, we can say so without being chastised. I see Ronna has let you know also about the other group we have, the chat and challenge group. Come join us and if you have any ideas for an exercise for the weekly challenge, please feel free to let us know.
Good luck to you all on your journey.

Hi Lynette,
Welcome! I'm glad to see you look at this as a lifestyle change and not a diet because in my experience, dieting doesn't work. Good luck to you on this journey.0 -
Hi Ladies, my name is Diane I am 65, I have previously lost 32 pounds and have 27 more to lose. I joined MFP Jan 2012 and I have been going up and down...I have tried so many things so that I end up after over a year and have not lost a lot. Being over 60 is really a challenge for weight loss. I am from Canada Province of Quebec:flowerforyou:
