My weightloss journey with MFP is in its infancy but so far it's going really well. I love the website and the app for my iPhone, it's the best thing that's happened to me so far in 2012 lol!

Anyway my small success is this:
I was just commenting on a comment that had been made on my status as I'd asked a question. Part of my reply was how empowered I feel in my weight loss journey. Then it clicked!
I've never felt like that before!

MFP is giving me the tools to make better choices, giving the support, advice and inspiration that I need and I feel so positive! Because I am making better choices I feel I've taken back the power to make my life what I want it to be. The power no longer lies with my food and my laziness.
Not only am I feeling brighter emotionally and physically but my relationship with my husband has improved, he is being so supportive and encouraging, it's so refreshing!

So, although I haven't got a big weightless to share yet, a lot of inches gone or before and after pics to post, I really want to share my success so far and say THANK YOU to MFP and all the friends I've made so far. Their input, feedback and advice is priceless :)

Good Luck Everyone!

    i totally agree... this site has changed me completely and i am no longer a slave to food... its only been a week be already feel so much better in myself and over the moon to have lost 2 inches of my tummy... that in itself is amazing and encouraged me to keep with it... couldn't have done it without the help of my MFP friends though... so well done you, be proud of yourself :D

    Excellent NSV!! I am also thankful for finding MFP and all of the wonderfully supportive folks here. After spending a lifetime being overweight (and by medical standards "obese" and sometimes "morbidly obese"), I have finally taken control of my health and my life. Food no longer controls me, now I control it! No more yo-yo dieting, now it's just a lifestyle, pure and simply.

    Best wishes to you on your fitness journey!:flowerforyou:

    I totally agree with you. MFP has given me confidence as well as accoutability. It is such an awesome tool. I love all the "friends" I have made through MFP, most of whom I have never met. This is such a supportive community full of encouragement. I could not have made it to this point without MFP or my MFP "family". Whenever I am feeling discouraged, they are there to cheer me on, and we all share each others successes. I hope you continue in your journey and find the success you are looking for. Accomplish great things!!!

    I completely agree, MFP is my new addiction. Unlike most other vices though, this one has helped me to lose weight, get fitter and make a bunch of new online friends to share my success with.

    That is why this place is awesome!

    I feel the exact same about MFP. I periodically check throughout the day and I find that it keeps me on track. When I am about to eat something I question the health benefits, the calories, etc. I ask myself if I really need the food that I am about to eat now, and I thank this site for assisting me in my journey. I like having a community of others who are on their own journey towards health and fitness goals...and it is great to get tips, feedback and motivation!

    That's great! Feeling empowered is the energy that is changing ourselves on MFP. I too feel encouragement and empowered each time I log on the site. It's people like you that keep me encouraged. Keep up the good work. The new you is manifesting today!

    :happy:
