I thought this was worth sharing. Before i started using MFP i tried losing weight on my own.:grumble: I would keep track of what i was eating by writing every thing down in a notebook....Obviously i was not very successful because here I am and I absolutely love MFP. Anyways I found that notebook that i wrote everything down in and I figured out that 11 months ago I was 32 pounds heavier than I am today. It took me from April until October (6 months) to lose 15 pounds....6 MONTHS.....I will say this was yo-yo dieting...one week i would do good and the next I wouldn't lose so I would get mad:explode: Anyways since I have started MFP I have lost 17 pounds, 8 1/2 inches off of my waist, and 6 inches off of my hips in 2 months....2 MONTHS!!! I was amazed when I realized just how well I was doing... I mean I knew I was doing good but I just wish I had found this sight 11 months ago :smile: MFP has truly changed my life and I am so thankful that someone took the time to tell me about this site....Do me a favor and tell someone....you may just change someones life:happy:

    I'm here because I asked a question on a weight loss facebook page and someone took the time to send me a private message to tell me about MFP. Now I've got my Mom on here with me.

    I found this site purely by accident when I used to go to SparkPeople last year. I didn't really understand how awesome this place is until this past January when I decided to get serious and make some friends along the way. This truly is the best online support place for weight loss there is.

    I am so so grateful for what I'm experiencing here.

    My sentiments exactly. This is a brilliant community with plenty of people looking to achieve the same goal. It's awesome to have people like yourself who are so upbeat and positive, encouraging others. This site has been an absolute blessing for me, and no doubt everyone else who made it through the first week.

    That is awesome. I know it is hard for me to do it on my own, since i started on this site I am down 5.4lbs in a week, I told a few people at my weight loss group about mfp and they are all gonna check it out. There is so much support here, its great.

    Great job! I use to do the same thing have a notebook and write what I was eating. It would work for awhile but not for long. Totally love this site. The support and encouragement is wonderful. Keep up the good work. :happy:
