I think you're really going to like it! I just started this past week and really do--it's easy to use and the people have been so encouraging. I'm kind of addicted.:) Almost a year ago, I started out with 72 lbs. to lose. I've lost 42 and have another 30 to go. Actually I lost 50, but went back to my old ways and gaiined 8…

Hi! So glad you're here. I started this past week and really, really like the site. It's easy to use and the people are very encouraging. I'm so impressed that you see the time that your husband is away as an opportunity to get back on track. I think you'll be so glad you did. Making good choices to get where you want to…

12 lbs! I'd say that's definitely worthy of a reward...and sexy sandals sound like a great reward! Hard work paid off!

You can do this! Can't wait to see how great you've done. Imagine what it's going to feel like to reach your goals. It's going to be tough. But you've got it! (I'm new here too)

Glad you're here. I'm new too.--just started last night and excited to get going...but know I'll need encouragement along the way. My goal is to lose 30 lbs. by December 1. We've got this!! Can't wait to see your progress.

So hard! Especially if you're like me and don't have much self-control along with an addiction to food. Having unhealthy choices readily available certainly isn't easy. One thing that sometimes works for me in the evenings when I start craving things I shouldn't eat is to have a low calorie snack (apples are great), drink…

Yay! Someone else starting again. That's the kind of motivation I'm looking for. Just knowing I'm not the only one who has started, stopped and started again (for me it's been the cycle of my life it seems) helps me feel like I can do it. This is totally possible. Lots of hard work, self-control and maybe even a few rough…

I'm new to MFP, but definitely not new to the start and stop weight loss struggle. It feels like I've been dealing with it for my entire life. I started a serious weight loss journey last Sept., lost 42 lbs. and stopped...before I met my goal. Today is the day I'm starting again and have 30 lbs. to lose. So I'm here being…

Hi! I'm a former WWer too. I opted for this instead because I prefer an online forum and WW was just too expensive. I just joined here today, but I find it very motivating. Some great success stories. I'm also on week 9 of C25K. I'm very slow (almost embarassingly!), but am jogging for 30 minutes now--something I never…

I'm new here too, and know exactly what you're talking about. While it's been several months since I've seen a weight loss (that's my own fault), I've lost 42 lbs. since Sept. '10. I can tell you that the first 8-10 lbs came off quickly, then nothing. It's very, very frustrating. I remember feeling like, "why am I working…

You are incredibly inspiring! Can't wait to continue to keep up with your journey.
