Thanks, everyone. That's the kind of information I need!

Welcome to MFP, it is a wonderful web site to get the help you (we) need to lose the unwanted weight! If you want inspiration, read other peoples' posts. They are very inspiring! I, like you, am fairly new here and have lost 11 pounds and it is exclusively due to MFP. If you use the food log and be honest about what you…

11/25 - 177.2 12/01 - 174.6 Oh, I like that! Going down. :bigsmile:

This is a wonderful web site. If you use the tools that the site offers you should have no problem with losing the weight. Good luck, and feel free to friend me. Friending people helps with encouragement - sending to others as well as receiving!

OMG! You look amazing! Congratulations, all that hard work definately paid off. You lost a small person!!! You are an inspiration! Feel free to friend me! I would love to have you there as a reminder that I can lose the weight as well!

Good for you! I see you've changed your terminology from "try to do " to "going to do," that is the biggest part of the battle. You have to get your mind ready. I think MFP is a fantastic site, and has everything you need to get the job done! Good luck to, and feel free to friend me.

I am boarder line high cholesterol and I picked up the book "Low Cholesterol Cookbook for Dummies" it not only has recipes but has a lot of reading material explaining how what foods (whole grains, fruits, veggies etc) do what in your body. To get a quick jump - apples is one fruit that helps lower cholesterol. I have…

Welcome, Jamie! I am fairly new to this site (Sept) and there are many encouraging people here. Feel free to friend me. Good luck with your weight loss!

Wow you look fantastic! I saw another post earlier today where a woman lost 60 pounds, now your post losing 80 pounds! You ladies have no idea how much incentive you give others. We can see that it really can be done. Way to go! Congratulations! Fantastic, and whatever words you can think of! You should be so proud of…

I just recently bought a recumbent exercise bike and I do my exercise at home. For me, I am more apt to exercise with something right in my house versus driving to a gym. It surprises me that I am as diciplined as I am about getting on my bike. I just feel so proud of myself that I have done it. I use it at least 6 days a…

You not only inspire youself to continue, but you are doing the same for the rest of us as well. I have lost 10 pounds and have 40 more to go and to see people like yourself lose so much weight is definately inspiring! Congrats to you! Keep up the good work!!

I just recently went through an almost-gave-up-on-me moment. I hurt the bottom of my foot and could not ride my bike. So instead of pushing on with the healthy eating I put that by the way side as well. The only way this works for me is to log in all my food every day. You just have to force yourself to get back on and go…

I'm in, I normally weigh in on Fridays. This should be a good exercise in accountability. Please feel free to friend me. Good luck to everyone and happy losing! :) 11/25 177.2

I agree with the posts suggesting he set up his own account with MFP. If he isn't sure what he should be eating, try adding more fruits and veggies and drink water, water, and more water. Good luck to you both, my son-in-law is currently on his second term in the USMC. I am very proud of him and greatful to all service men…

I am 5' 3" and have 42 pounds to go. I am scheduled to lose 1 pound a week. Good luck to you, and feel free to add me as a friend. The encouragement from everyone on this site is just great!

That is the grossest thing I have ever seen!!! But thank you so much for posting it, if that doesn't motivate - nothing will!!! Thank you!

Thanks, everyone!

Fantastic, congratulations!! You just proved that when there's a will there's a way. Great job!

I'm glad you reposted this recipe, it sounds fantastic!! Can't wait to try it! Thanks!

Welcome to MFP! This is such a great tool the lose weight. Good luck, feel free to add me as a friend.

When I signed up to MFP, I read that if you stayed in bed all day your body would burn about 1700 calories. So when MFP tells you that you need to eat 1200 calories a day to lose weight, you are taking in less than what you use causing the weight loss.

Congratulations on getting back on the program. I have had a bad couple of weeks and can't seem to get remotivated, but I find reading through some of these posts is helping me. In response to "drive through' or "not to drive through" I find it so much easier to cook a couple of healthy meals on the weekend and alternate…

If you're the type that likes to munch, 1 cup of seedless grapes is great!
