But it is for me! For the first time in my long life (I'm 80 next year), I am losing weight slowly and steadily!!! Before, I have always wanted to lose fast. I owe so much to myfitnesspal!!! Every morning I put in everything I am going to eat and what exercise I am going to do, and I will not deviate from that. It is like a commitment for me. I feel awesome. My arthritis has all but disappeared and I can RUN upstairs!!!!!!!!! Just saying..............

18 pounds does sound like a lot! If I lost 18 pounds, I'd be back to my lowest weight since having my child (and 10 pounds under my pre-pregnancy weight).
So congrats! It's also almost half of what you want to lose!0 -
18 is HUGE!! Awesome Job!0
