I have been on MFP now for 2 weeks and have lost an amazing 14lbs so far. Not sure if that is even healthy or not but I have been very strict with my calorie counts and logging EVERY single thing that goes into my mouth. I am amazed at how easy this has been. I realize this amount of weight loss will eventually slow down but for now I am loving it. (I am not even exercising yet) I would love to have as many friends as possible to help keep me motivated. Please add me...

Hey congrats on the weight loss. I love this app on my phone, especially if something has a bar code it makes it even easier. My weight loss is slower than yours and i have been walking also, but my calories count varies a little from day to day, and I give myself a free day every couple weeks. but with this app i still dont go as crazy as i used to on those free days. so if you can be strict thats cool. But most time the stricter you are the harder it becomes to maintain later. so give yourself a little slack every now and then. What are your total weight loss goals.

I agree, I do plan on giving myself some free days soon or I would probably go crazy eventually. The holidays are creeping up and I know it will be very difficult to stay on track. All we can do is our best though and not beat ourselves up if we happen to slip

I would love to lose atleast 40 lbs. I was at 188 when I started here two weeks ago. I am now at 174...I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I actually got down to 150. I'd make my husband take me on a very expensive shopping spree
