in Introduce Yourself
Hi, I started in the mid-summer, and have made reasonable progress - 21kgs so far. I am only a third of the way to where I want to be, but I am pretty certain it is going to start to be tougher to lose lose weight going forward...

I stumbled across this website when I was trying to find the calories for cabbage (I'd just made a green smoothie) and I am pleased that I did - I think it will only help; I am looking forward to where this new journey takes me :-)

I'm also looking forward to "meeting" some of you over the coming days, weeks, months - finally I hope you all continue to make successful progress on your your own journeys.

    Best things to do is to log everything and get yourself some friends who will help by encouraging and motivating you.
    I'm sending you a friend request next :)

    I am so grateful to the friend who introduced me to MFP - it's been really effective in helping me lose weight - 33lbs so far - and we are learning a better way of eating for life rather than following a diet. My husband hasn't been logging in like me, but he has gone down a trouser size - probably more like two now, we keep making new notches in his belt! - and fits Large rather than XL for knitwear, so he's benefiting, too. We've managed to enter a number of our customary recipes, so it gets easier to keep track of what we're eating as time goes on.

    I hope you'll continue to enjoy visiting the site, and find, as I have, that it's a brilliant tool to help on the journey to a healthier life.

    This truly a helpful place. I came here Labor Day weekend. I lost weight for my sons wedding. And a little more after the wedding. Then it started the weight started going back up. I lost 25lbs, gained back 15lbs. Started excercising and thats when I found this site. It has been the most helpful place. Here I have lost 17lbs. I am 54yrs old , so I do know how it is for us slightly older people. Anybody that wants to add me as a friend.
