Hello! I started in July as well and have happily lost 25 pounds since then. It's working great. I'm glad you found something that works for you, too! Terrific! I'll add you as a friend. I log in daily as well to pre-log my food and log in my weight and check in on my friends. I've got around 50 more to lose.

Great job! I will add you.

You're amazing! That's so terrific!

I drink two or three "real" cups and several decaf cups a day and have lost just fine. Won't do without it.

I'll add you!

I hear you! I got to where my portion sizes were pretty big - crazy! After a couple of months, I'm used to smaller portion sizes, thank goodness! I've never tried zoodles. I'll have to give that a go.

I completely understand how you feel :) I have a touch of agoraphobia and find it hard to leave the house except for work, thank goodness, without anxiety, which is crazy because I'm rather outgoing in a lot of situations. I work an office desk job and a home office desk job 12 to 14 hours a day, so not a lot of spare time…

I've got that much to lose and more, really, once I hit that mark. I'm 5'2", so I understand our lower calorie requirements! I do log religiously every morning before I start my day. It really helps me understand where I'm at and keep myself under control. If I go above on my calories or on the scale one day, I can correct…

5'2" 1,200 calories shorty here as well :) I'll add everyone! Open your diaries to your friends under setting if you don't mind so we can share ideas on what we're eating! I can always use new ideas.

I'll add you :)

But I still lost .4 so that's good. 10/3 185.2 - had a quarter piece of cream cake and a few pretzels and still lost, so that's good. 10/4 10/5 10/6 10/7 10/8 10/9

I lost 20 pounds in two and a half months just counting calories. I'll occasionally walk on the treadmill. You can do it!

I'll add you! I enjoy being supportive in the newsfeed!

I am post-menopause after having a full hysterectomy last year. I started MFP two months and a couple of weeks ago and have lost 20 pounds and it is coming off easily. I have 50 to lose, though, so it is easier than it is for you with so little to lose. I really admire all of your working out!

Hello! Congrats on your weight loss! I'll add you!

I'll add you, Karen. I'm working on losing about that much. I've lost 20 so far and it doesn't feel like a diet, just prelogging my calories in the morning and I'm good to go! My DH is really unhappy with my weight and wonders if I will see this through. I've never even really tried to diet before, so losing this 20 pounds…

I don't do cheat meals. When I started MFP, I was going over my calories with meals occasionally, but it just set me back for a few days, so I stopped doing that. It was too frustrating and not worth it. I stay within my calories now and I'm much happier and am steadily losing.

I like to weigh in every morning at the same time and enter it here on MFP and on the Happy Scale app to chart my progress. I like the info. It inspires me to keep me going or adjust my calories. I started two months ago and a couple of weeks ago and have lost 20 pounds. I now am at 186 and want to get to 125 or so. I'm…

Hello and good luck!

I'll add you! So sorry about your lung collapse - gosh!

Hi. I've been here for two months and lost 17 pounds and have more to go. I'm encouraging and positive and will add you :)

I've lost 20 pounds since July with just walking on the treadmill inconsistently. It's all been counting my calories. My ticker says I've only lost 13, and I'm not sure how that got messed up. I changed my email address and such and don't know how that was effected, but it's not reading right. But you can do it!

That's wonderful, Helena!! Good for you!! Congrats :)

I realized I do not want my gallbladder taken out, which can happen if you lose weight too rapidly and you get gallstones. I don't want that to happen, so I stay within losing two pounds to 1.5 pounds a week. I was surprised to read that and bummed out I could only lose that much a week, since I'd lost four pounds the…

Wow! How great! Good for you!

Hello. I would like others who are doing around 1,200 as well, I'm doing around 1,290 and have 70 pounds to lose! Thanks.
