At Christmas this year (2007) I weighed 150 pounds. I knew at that point that I didn't feel good about myself, about the clothes I put on, and so on and so on .......
So I started on my own trying to exercise more and eat healthier. Everything I read said to "write down everything that enters your mouth" ...... I tried this on paper but I had a hard time keeping track of the calories, etc. and gave up on that. So in February I did some google searches and found this website ....... the rest is history!!!! :happy:
I joined MFP in February at 146 pounds. I am now at 138 pounds and still going!! I enjoy logging my exercise and the food I eat. I consciously think about everything that goes in my mouth. I am drinking water now instead of Diet Coke. This website has been a life saver ...... it truely has!!!
I do not post a lot on the boards but I have done two of the challenges (currently in the 10 pounds or less challenge) and those REALLY keep me going.
My goal is 130 pounds ..... and I WILL MAKE IT!!!!!!! Thanks to all of the support out there on MFP!!!
THANK YOU ........ EVERYONE!!!!! :drinker:0 -

How did you do it? I have this annoying "two baby pooch" (ages 7 & 4) that I cannot get rid of!!! I do crunches, reverse crunches, oblique crunches, cardio, Tae-Bo, treadmill, Pilates, etc. The measurement is slooooooowly going down but if you did anything different I would gladly take some advise!!!!
Thank goodness for MFP - I have been amazed at the support and all the wonderful people on here and their success!!

I have lost 42 lbs so far - started January 4th.
Starting BMI was 34.8
BMI now is 28
Goal BMI is 24
about 20-25 lbs left to lose!!! I started in a tight size 18 and am down to a 12-14. Goal is probably an 8-10. I'm a big-boned girl and nothing will change that! :laugh:0 -
I've lost 28 pounds in 3 months. I worked so hard. I cut out drinking and eating at work. I was working out but not so much since I've been sick.0

Went from a size 20 to a size 12 in jeans, I can actually enjoy buying a bathing suit for my vacation coming up!
I want to thank everyone on MFP, this has been the key to my success. Also, I have inspired my husband to get on board and now he is a MFP addict too.:drinker:0 -
Athomemommy, what was your motivation? What are 3 the most important things that helped YOU to loose all that weight?0

Mommyskis, name 3 most important things that helped you in the BEGINNING to start loosing weight0

3 things~~~~~
Well 1. was cutting out all fast food, I was addicted and would eat there almost everyday, instead I would increase my lean protein and started eating breakfast. I never ate breakfast before. It seems like I constantly eat now, but it makes sense, eat more OFTEN to keep your metablism up which burns more calories.
2. would be going from reg caffeinated cola to diet to totally elimating it. I cant even drink a regular cola or pepsi now and I used to HAVE to have at least one or two a day if not more.
3. I started exercising 3 times a week. Before I would just sit around the house with my small children or lay on the couch while they played and I would watch tv. I know really bad. Even something simple like parking your car as far as you can to walk into the grocery store. So really just moving more. Also I starting not only cardio but strength training, you have to have both. If you only do cardio then your going to lose muscle, but if you do both you keep the muscle and burn the fat.
MY LITTLE SECRET: If I only have time to do part of my workout that day, I do the strength training. Cardio only keeps your metablism up for a few hours BUT strength training will for 12- 14 hours!!!!!!! So you burn more calories!!0 -

For your strength training .........
Did you go to a gym or did you do it at home?
If you do it at home - what do you use?
I'm impressed with how much you have lost - just curious!!0
