    I'd like to know how are you doing! Did you hit those extra 5 pounds down? I hope you're still in the happy jeans and I'm planning on following your example. I'm 47 and 204 pds. I Need to go down 54 pds. hopefully by July. I need to be in good shape for a vacation in Costa Rica!
    Your post was very motivating.

    I need to lose about 30-35 pounds too. The site said I need to keep my calories down to 1,200-I find this hard and haven't lost a pound. I'm sticking to it, but it hasn't done a thing for me yet.

    I'm very happy that you've reached your goal!!!!
    I need a pick-me-up. I have been at this for over a month, rarely go over my calorie limit (1,200) and haven't seen the scale budge a bit. I'm am so discouraged.

    That is so great to hear. I just started using this a couple days ago and my goal is to get back into size 8 jeans. I am 170 now and my goal is to lose about 30-35 lbs. I'll be 50 in October and am hoping to be in those 8's.

    Hello - just started today.. Bestie said try... Just meeting a calorie count confusses me... When I look at the food I have eaten which is pretty good food.. the pie breakdown ....I'm blown away by the breakdown of carbs verses protien... Mostly from coffe creamer.... I guess.. Gonna switch to sugar free tomorrow:) . So how does it work... Is it really based on calories only.

    I just wanted to encourage all of you that MFP really works. I started about 14 months ago and have lost 107 pounds. I am 20 pounds from my goal! Went from size 26 jeans to a 10. My biggest goal was to overcome diabetes. Which I have. If you understand A1-C numbers... I started at 12.9. My number is now 5.2 and I am off all medications. That was my biggest motivator. Just stay committed and honest about what you put in your mouth and MFP will help with the rest. Keep up the good work, all of you who are trying so hard! It is worth it!

    Congratulations! That is so motivating. I will be 50 later this year and my goal is to get back into those size 8's. I started using myfitnesspal at the beginnning of January and it has helped so much in recording what I eat and drink. The days I go over my calorie count for the day makes me a little discouraged, but I'm staying with it. I have lost 8 lbs so far and want to lose 20 more pounds.

    I hit my goal today as well. I started on December 1st weighing 209 and lost 45 down to 165. I feel great! The only down side is how much I have spent on new clothes.....not really. I haven't been at this weight since I graduated Marine Corps boot camp 24 years ago!
