Thanks, all. I feel much better after reading all your posts.

Thanks! I am really trying to make a lifestyle change and feel like I have derailed myself lately. My employer just announced a complete reorganization (no idea what that means for me yet) and I got hit with a really bad cold, making exercise hard to accomplish and comfort foods and alcohol so enticing! I am back on track…

I just made it under 200lbs (started at 226) and I was so happy that I cried! You can do it! Add me if you like

I have always liked my coffee light and sweet. Been drinking coffee the majority of my life (my mom is from Argentina, and all the kids drink coffee), and first I weaned myself off of sweetners. Then, in January, I started putting only 3 tablespoons of nonfat creamer in my coffee. It works for me. I would love to go black,…

You pay now, or you pay later. But if you pay later, you pay with interest.

Hi, Jill, my name is Lisa and I live in SC too. I'm 44, work full time and am married with 2 kids. I've lost 25 pounds using MFP and working hard to lose some more. I hope you get as much out of MFP as I have- it's been such a helpful tool. I'm glad to offer you support! Send me a friend request if you like. Cheers!

It's hard to get exercise in when you're life is so consumed in the grind of the day. I am an executive assistant in a well known company to the VP of sales. I have two kids, ages 10 and 12, and my husband travels frequently, so many times, it's all up to me. My son is in a traveling soccer team and practices 3X a week.…

Yikes! I'll take that as a warning! Hi, I'm Lisa and I have lost 22 pounds since the end of December. I've got 50 more to go, which seems staggering, but this is a lifestyle change for me so I don't care how long it takes! I'd love some support, too, so please friend me if you wish. It would be nice to go through this…

I don't like anything that's good for me, but I try to eat it anyway. One thing I can't eat is most seafood. For some reason I can handle tuna, but nothing else. I don't like food that looks the way it did when it died. YUCK

I thought it was going to be hard too, but it's not too bad. And exercise gains you some more calories to eat. I do spend more time looking at labels but it's really been worth the effort. Now, granted, by the time it's bed time, I have that hollow feeling in my stomach, but I just go to bed! I've been doing this for a…

Hi - I need to lose 72 lbs, down almost 15 since end of December with MFP and exercise. Really needed to make it a lifestyle change, not a diet. I'm in this for life! We can do it!
