Hi all!

Wonderful site! I'm fairly new--been logging since the beginning of April. This is a great resource! I've already recommended it. Anyway, I'm getting started on the forum and really look forward to talking with some of you.

I lost over 50 pounds since my high point in 2003--and slowly getting down to my goal. I've found the last 15 pounds or so to be the TOUGHEST and I can't seem to get there. I'm hoping MFP will help!

Anyone else struggling with the last bit? I'm looking to make friends too! :)

Take care, Spoofy

    I'm finally within about 15 pounds of my goal as well!!! Congrats on your loss so far! I'm hoping I can keep losing slow and steady like I have the past few months, but if it takes a while, that's ok with me!!! Welcome to MFP, I've found it to be a very helpful and supportive place and get inspired and encouraged when I need it. Feel free to add me... I'm always up for new friends!

    I hear the last bit is always the hardest. So you really have to push urself. I've only lost 8... I'd like to lose about 20lbs total. I guess once we get to that rutt... we gotta kick it into full gear!

    Yeah! and after losing 3 pounds in April--and then mysteriously putting back 2 on, I think I have a problem folks! I CHEAT!!! I think i take extra portions and don't log it or 'lie' because I'm still hungry.

    Anyway, thanks for the kind words. It's really motivating to see others going through the same issues--and also great to see everyone doing so well.

    Nice job on your loss to date! I've lost over 60 and have also been struggling with the last bit (I'm not too picky about the number, but I'm guessing about 15 pounds). Joining MFP last week has (unexpectedly) helped to re-motivate me, and I hope it will do the same for you! Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hi "Spoofed,"
    I am 18 pounds away from my goal weight- lost 37 so far. Congrats on the 50 you have taken away.
    I am pretty excited about this site. I have tried other communities on line before and this so far is most user friendly.
    Looking forward to wearing a bikini for the first time since I was a teen! I am determined to meet that goal.
