    I started on January 4 and am down 26 lbs as of this morning - 45 lbs to go to my goal. I am so glad my coworker introduced me to MFP. I've had success with diets before (Atkins back in the day) however once going back to normal eating habits, the weight went back on rapidly. What I've realized is that once I hit my goal weight, I need to stay on MFP and continue logging everything I eat religiously while maintaining. If I don't, I know I will fall back into my same old patterns, since it's happened before. I laso have learned that I must log every single thing I eat religiously, even it it is just 3 chips I eat while packing the kiddo's lunchbox. Everything goes in my diary no matter how ridiculous. Those things add up in the long run. I have also learned that the food scale was the best investment I ever made. I thought I was good at estimating portions, but I was terrible! The food scale has really helped tremendously.

    My food diary is open, so feel free to check it out. You may get some good suggestions.

    Unintentionally started the day after Christmas, and I say unintentionally because I was just looking up calories for a something I had that day when I stumbled upon MFP. So here I am, 33lbs lighter.

    I started around new years (more as a birthday resolution because I'm a new years baby!) :)
    I'm down 19pounds! Which puts me at my pre-baby weight. But I've added a new goal so I'm hoping to drop 11-12 more pounds! :)

    WTG Everyone! Studies say once you stick with something consistently for 21 days, you have past the hurdle and it will become a lifestyle change!

    Yay Us for making a fabulous lifestyle change and not giving up!

    I guess I personally don't buy into the new years resolution thing...if you can't make a decision and stick with it because that is what you want, the calendar is probably not going to make a difference. Do something or don't do something.

    Sometimes the concept of 'a new year, a new you' is really what makes something click for certain people. I know people on here who started because of a new years resolution and a year-ish later are down over a 100 pounds. So maybe you don't buy into it but that doesn't mean it has never really worked for someone.

    I started this journey on 12/28/11. I wasn't real steady for a couple of weeks, but now I am serious and have lost 12 pounds. But, the thing that makes it worth it all, my clothes fit better, my moods are better, and I want to be better.
