Hey everyone.

I do curves (6 years now)also - if you want to add me to your friends list, I'll give you some pointers! I've dropped 4 dress sizes and 36 inches !! you will love this site ! Make sure you eat at least 1/2 of your extra exercise calories. :drinker:

Welcome Melissa and Tina..... and good luck on your weight loss journey

I second Megan's welcome! :flowerforyou: And would also like to add that between the easy to use food counter (which by the way is SUCH an eye opener!) and all the wonderfully supportive members, you WILL be able to lose the weight that you want to, AND, it'll "almost" be easy doing it!
I recommend logging ALL your foods BEFORE you have them, rather than later, as it tends to lead to better food choices. (not to mention you'll know if you've got enough numbers left to have a night time snack, like I ALWAYS try to do!) Some people also like to weigh and measure some things, such as meats, rather than just estimating and possibly being WAY off! :noway:
Don't go making the mistake that if you have LOTS of numbers left at the end of the day that you'll lose even faster, because that DOESN'T happen. Feel free to read any info about the site in the "help" section at the top of the home page. And also, under "all topics", then "general", and check out the first few threads. They'll really help you understand how MFP works.
Before coming here, I had tried just about EVERYTHING out there, including hypnosis, TWICE, and nothing really worked until MFP!
Also, drink LOTS of water, it REALLY DOES help! :drinker:

Hey welcome above I totally agree with BRENNEW :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I have a quick question. I am trying to add my ticker to my signature but it isn't working. No matter which ticker I use they all don't work. I tried using the top one and then the bottom one. *sigh*

Hi All. My name is Terri Ann and I am the mother of 2. One of which just started college and my youngest just started High School. I was finally sick and tired of not losing the weight from my second child (almost 15 years ago). I will turn 40 this year and would "LOVE" to be back to around 130 pounds by November.

I stumbled across this site looking for a way to get motivated. I became a member on July 11 and love it. I started out at 165.1 pounds and I am now 150.0 pounds. This site is wonderful, if you use the guidelines it gives you - IT DOES WORK.

I am finding however, that it is getting harder to lose that pound each week. But I am sure if I stick with it I will continue to get closer to my goal weight.

I know in my heart, without finding this site and sticking with it, I could never be where I am right now. As my journey gets harder, I am looking for some moral support from people that are going through the same things.

I would love any advice that you can share.

Congratulations to all of you who are becoming more healthy. I am proud of all of you. Thank you myfitnesspal.com I could have done this without you.

Hi, my name is Taylor. I'm an 18 year old highschool senior. I've always been short and on the stocky side. I throw shot put, so I'm pretty muscular, but I won't lie, up to this point, I haven't given what I eat any thought whatsoever. My dad was heavy. My mom is heavy. I'm looking to break out of the cycle.

Hi Teri Anne, welcome! :flowerforyou:
You're doing great, just keep "working with your numbers" and you WILL lose the weight that you want to!
I know from experience that I've even had like 4 or 5 weeks in a row of just staying the same. But, eventually, the weight DOES start to come off! :happy: Slow and steady wins the race!

Hi Just checking in to say "hi" and to see how everyone is doing?? I weighed in this morning at 146.5. I guess this site doesnt count 1/2 pounds. Oh well. I still can't ge tmy ticker to work. I followed the directions to the "T" and it just shows an empty box with a lil box in the upper left hand corner. *sigh*. I hope everyone is doing good and staying on track. I have to work on logging all my food. I do breakfast then stop. So I'm really not sure how many calories I'm eating. Well hope everyone has a great day.

Hi, my name is Holly. I am trying MFP this time around. I tried SparkPeople twice but never kept up with it. Maybe it was too much, a lot of emails, message boards, etc..... or maybe I just got lazy like I typically do after a month of "starting over"! Well here I am, at square 1 again! I have got to stay with it this time or I am going to continue feeling bad about myself and buying bigger clothes! YUCK!! Anyway, I hope to find encouragement and support here, and I will do the same for all of you! I have a long way to go! So....here we go again!! Good luck everyone!
