I have been able to keep the 100 lbs I lost about 6 or 7 years ago off!! MyFitnessPal helps keep me honest with what I am eating. I know the only person I am cheating is myself if I don't post everything I consume. Bottom Line.....

    Congratulations. I think this is the part that too many of us are missing.......staying accountable after we lose weight. I lost 43 lbs. 4 or 5 years ago. I am presently in the process of losing that same weight. I recognize that if I ever manage to get that weight off again that I will have to be constantly monitoring my intake. I just started MFP and I love the accountability.

    Congrats!!! My moto is "if you bite it you write it". If you're not honest with your food journeling it will definately show on the scale. Keep up the good work.

    well done, I know the feeling about putting weight back on after losing a good amount and this time I intend to make it my lifes work to get fit , lose weight and stay healthy. It's all about concsious choice as well as honesty. I only joined a few days ago and i'm hoping to get into my stride soon, once again well done and keep up the good work.

    The scale does not lie. If we cheat we don't lose. Even if we don't write it down we still don't lose.
    Congratulations and good job!!~~~

    Wonderful ... thank you for sharing - this will be my 3rd attempt at losing the same 100lbs and well... hopefully 3rd time is the charmer...

    I am diligently writing down everything that goes into my mouth so no more popping things into my mouth without going to the computer to write it in

    It is an eye opener to see how much calories are in "cute foods" like chicken wings... whoa...

    It is good to have this sense of community and support. We all have been are are going thru the same struggles. Only we can understand. I have been teaching a cardio kickboxing class for the past several years and I love to seen the new ones start, and if they stick with it, the progess they make. It is also great to have an opportunity to offer words of encouragement and a sense of "I've been there" to the ones that need. it.
