    i started out onthe 1st of january

    lost 51 pounds,,, 24 to go.. i am totaly amazed at myself. i was sure that it was an impossibility.
    but when i learned that i didnt ahve to starve and that exercising isnt the end of the world.. well then there was nothing to stop me !!

    now ive changed my life around and i couldnt be prouder of what ive done.. even if i stop losing weight today.. i have achieved more then ever though possible.

    everybody can do it.. just dont give up,, if you give up then you know you'll never achieve your goal..

    Well, I gained 45 with my pregnancy. Baby Mack was born on 9/3/08 and since then I've lost 42!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So... I'm 3 away from my pre-preggo. He'll be 10 weeks old tomorrow. I'm so happy with my progress. Thank god for breast feeding! Though, I am VERY diligent about what goes in my mouth, too, and I've been working out like crazy since week 6 when I was released. It's amazing how much my body isn't the same, though. I have a soft tum tum and it'll be awhile before I'm back to my old self. My goal is to be back in bathing suit shape by new years... we'll see.

    Ok....Sept 2007.....I've only lost 31 lbs since then. But before that I had lost another 36 on my own over a period of 3 years :ohwell:. But, I started getting back to my old habits and ran into MFP, luckily, before I started gaining back. Had I not found this place, I have no doubts I would have gained it back. Anywho, after over a year of this....falling off a few times (sometimes months at a time), I have managed to maintain for the past 4 months and not lose any weight but am noticing definition and inches. Another 12 to go :drinker: But if I keep losing inches and look toned, I'll be happy with my weight. Inches and toning it up is where it's at :drinker:

    Thanks Mike :flowerforyou:
  • Okay, I joined back in March of '08. I lost about six pounds then and came back october 1st to take off the next 11.

    I lost about 36 pre-mfp over a looonnnggg period of time!

    So my grand total is about 53 pounds, which is great!

    Glad I have MFP to help me take on the next 50, because I am gonna need the help!

    OH, and check out the MFP Total Weight Loss thread... the numbers are really amazing!

    Started in the begining of sept 08 5lbs only
  • i started my journey August 20th
    and Have Lost 46 Pounds Now
    Its Fast But You Have To Understand I Went From
    Fast Food Dinner and Ben & Jerrys Ice cream Pints
    To Organic everything
    Mostly
    fruits veggies and nuts
    and
    changed my relationship with foods
    i dont eat to celebrate or comfort my self
    i was an emotinal eater...good and bad...i would EAT!
    Now i workout to comfort myself or celebrate
    in the past my reward for losing x amount of weight
    was a cheat day! hahha i dont have cheat days anymore because this isnt a diet...when i want something "bad" i eat it for ONE meal not ALL day. this site has helped me wth the support and motivation
    and even though i dont use it as often as i could the calorie log is amazing. MFP is the best thing thats happened to me and my family because now mom will be around longer with more energy !

    Hi. I joined in Jan 08(i think) but didnt use the site. Stumbled upon it again June of 08 and thought why in the world did I not use these tools???

    I have since lost 24 pounds.

    To all the old school MFP'rs Thank YOU! You are what got me rocking and rollin'. Tam, SoupNazi, Banks, and the newer additions like Psyknife and Songbyrdsweet....for the encouragement and always answering my stupid questions. I know this is the only difference between this time and the many other times I have attempted to lose weight before.

    Even the laughs with max, before, kelch, shannon (and all the others!!!) helped as it would draw me into the site for a laugh, then make me log the food and exercise!

    Sorry so long, but I really am grateful to everyone!!

    I signed up in April but didn't start doing the program until late Aug. I am down 20 lbs. and feel better than I have in years. I just ran my first ever 10K- I may have been thin before having kids but I was never super fit. By the time I reach my goal weight I will be in the best shape of my life!!!!! Thanks to everyone for all your support and motivation. I couldn't have done it without MFP! :flowerforyou: :drinker: :flowerforyou:
  • I can't remember how long I have been on this board for, but I have been losing very slowly and gradually since May. I love all the knowledge and convos on this board.
