in Introduce Yourself
Hey there! I'm not exactly new here (I joined two years ago! Eek!) but I am new to actually taking advantage of the site. About two and a half years ago I weighed over 235lbs and had lost about 65lbs by the time I joined MFP about a half year after starting my journey. I have since lost 16lbs more and have hit a horrible wall. I have been the 159lbs since the beginning of the year and it never changes! I have decided I need to work hard to push past those final numbers and make it to my goal-140lbs. I decided to return to MFP and find some support in others with similar goals. :) So helllo everyone! Let's be friends. :D

    You've done a great job so far. I'm also stuck just short of my goal but I'm not going to berate myself over it. As long as I stick to what I've done so far (60 lbs. lost) I will reach my goal. Be proud of what you have already accomplished. Add this old man if you wish.

    I am very proud of my accomplishments! It helps to know that I lost the beginning of the weight because that means it isn't impossible! Thanks everyone and I will def be adding :)

    There is no reason you can't accomplish your goal. You've done an amazing job so far. Keep working out, and keep track of your calories. No cheating! I didn't count 3 ginger snaps from last night I am still deeply remorseful over that! :wink:

    Can you find another way to get that ginger snap flavor? Maybe substitute stevia for sugar, and applesauce for oil? Make a big batch and freeze some for later.
    I find these stories of 100+ pounds lost simply amazing!! Thank God for MFP!!

    I think it was more of the experience of Ginger Snaps when I was little that gets me!

    And I love reading peoples experiences of losing so much weight. It's inspiring!
