    Hi all,

    I just joined MFP on Jan. 8, so I figure this is a great way to get a jump start on the weight loss!

    Start weight 1/8 - 294

    going to try for 15-20 lb loss so my goal will be around 275 for 2/14

    Good luck everyone! :smile:

    Logging everything is really working! Even on my so-so days (over 2000 cal) I have kept track. I am averaging about 1800 cal a day so I am thrilled with the results!

    Start 1/1/08 160lbs
    1/4 153
    1/11 150

    Goal: 145

    I'm a new member and a new blogger. On 1/2/08 I weighed in at 213. Today I'm 211. I was a little frustrated with loosing just 2 lbs this week but in reading the entries it appears that not abnormal. I was hoping that it being the first week I'd have lost more. I'm 51 years years old and have been dieting off and on for most of my life. I'm currently on a combination of the 40/30/30 diet and WW (by that I mean I'm counting my points but following the basic premiss of the 40/30/30 diet. I tried the 40/30/30 diet a couple years ago and lost weight quite quickly and felt great. This time (maybe because of my age it's coming off much slower). Anyway, my goal by 2/14/08 is 200 lbs.

    I'm thrilled by everyone elses success and it is motivating me for whenever I can get going.:smile:

    Hi everyone,
    I went to a hockey game and out to a bar with my husband and a couple of friends and of course the beer and junk food was all around. I drank water the whole night and did not eat any of the food. For the first time I forcused on my friends (not what I was eatting) and I danced all night long (burned a lot of calories). This morning I feel great. I wanted to see what i weighted today but, thought I should wait (my day is on thurs.) .
    I love this site. I am going to lose this weight and this time for good.
    Keep up the good work everyone.

    Just wanted to update you on my day. I was afraid because I had such a good night last night and today I had a baby shower to go to. I was drawn to the table with the white cake and chocolate chip cookies and chips and you name it it was there. I walked away I did it. I had an orange before I left the house and I was not hungery and I know I didn't need the cookies and I didn't. I walked away. I thought of everyone I had seen on this website and I tought I can do this.
