I have to say that I have been dieting for the past 20 years on and off...(More off then on)!! A friend at work told me about MFP and I thought what the heck I have tried everything else. I joined 01-02-2011 and have logged on everyday and logged my food everyday. I LOVE the message boards...all the motivation,success stories, etc.

Today after 10 days on MFP I figured I would log my weight. I felt like I was losing and was for the 1st time in my life excited to get on the scale. Well I have lost 7 lbs. in 10 days. I almost cried I was so excited. I want to say thank you to all the wonderful people on this site. Your motivation, information and support is whats working for me.

My motto for this year: 2011 is my year to do for ME!!!!

    I too am only new - joined 1/05/11 and have lost 4lbs already in 7 days - WOW, I cant believe after trying all the fad diets, all it took was such a wonderful site like this to help me with my calorie counting - It really does work. I only need to lose a fairly small amount of weight, but I have not been able to budge it for years. 16lbs to go!!!!


    Good luck with your journey =)

    YAY!! My first weekend, I started the 1st and did my first weigh-in on that following Monday, I lost 6 pounds. Talk about a motivator. I am sure it was water weight since dieting also lowers my salt intake, just by eliminating a lot of the crap foods I was eating. But, what a great start, right?

    Enjoy it! Its nice to be in control.There will be hard moments but keep your eye on the prize!
