I can barely contain my excitement!!!!! I have been a memeber of MFP for 9 days & had my 1st updated weigh-in today. I was nervous all week, just praying I would see SOME results. Hoping for a pound or two. I about fell over when I saw the number on the scale.....7 lbs lost...!!!!!!!!

Just...WOW!! I had so much faith and hope starting this journey on MFP, it was my "last ditch effort" after YEARS of dieting & exercise. To see the results proves just how much MFP works and that it IS what had been missing all the other times! I thank GOD for this site and the wonderful, supportive people on it!!

I wanted to share my experience with everyone, particularly other new members who have yet to have their 1st updated weigh-in. There's proof that it DOES work, and all your efforts WILL pay off....hang in there & STICK WITH IT!!!! :bigsmile:

    That is pretty amazing, even for a first week :D Keep it up, but don't be too dissappointed if it doesnt come off quite that fast in future weeks.

    Thank you all so much for the congrats!! Your support gives me the drive I need! I realize it was the 1st week, so the numbers won't continue to look this good, I just feel like it's a great start. As long as I see a gradual progression of weight loss from here, I will be extremely happy!!

    I am also relieved to finally be able to say: MFP WORKS!!!! You gotta want it, and you gotta MAKE it work for you, but it DOES work! My piece of advice for other newbies like me....DON'T CHEAT YOURSELF!!
    I log every SINGLE thing that goes into my mouth. I'm here for me, not to look good or impress anyone else. So at the end of the day...I want to know the REAL calorie intake & what my real projected results could be. If I may steal a comment from another user I "spoke to"....."if it doesn't have a mother or come out of the ground, you shouldn't eat it".

    I think that is such a great and simple way to put it & makes it so easy to remember what's good for you and what isn't. Thanks again for showing me so much support! GOOD LUCK to us all!!! :flowerforyou:
