So, when I first joined MFP, I hoped it would help me be serious for once.. I never made it past a week, and I've stuck it out since Sept. 20th of this year. I weighed an astonishing 200 lbs, on a 5'0" 1/2-5'1" medium build body!

My goal weight is 120, from there I'll know if I should lose more or not but after today, I am totally on the right track!

9 lbs lost! I know that the weight comes off like melted butter at first, but it's just such a big boost of encouragement. :)

Thanks for letting me share!

    That is awesome!! You are doing great. I think 115 - 120 is a perfect weight for height! Keep up the great work. It is nice only checking in for weight once a week. It gives more dramatic results.

    Great start. Keep it up and reap the rewards. I never realized before that I could eat a lot of good low calorie food and be happy versus failing diets. Good Luck.
