Oh I've got a good feeling about this one... Congratulations on the first step Bill, and welcome to te first day of the rest of your life! Don't hesitate to friend me, we all need a little extra motivation and support sometimes

Yeah same! I've only been here a week and a half and I already feel worlds away from where I was before MFP! I feel a lot happier. I already have more confidence in myself. I think it's the difference between saying "I'm gonna TRY and lose weight" and "I'm GOING to lose weight and feel great!" And this time it's not just…

I completely severed my left ACL and had to have a new one grafted from my hamstring when I was 21. I went treeplanting 3 months after this happened, which is walking around on a lot of uneven terrain while carrying heavy bags of trees for 10 hours a day. I remember it would get very sore and swollen a lot, and…

Wow this one has really helped me out a lot. I'm definitely gonna change the way I do cardio now, good to know thanks!
-
Oh my god this is gonna keep me smiling for a whole week

YES! I had the same nervousness at the beginning! Giving up some of the foods I like wasn't too big of a deal, but take away my beer and I get CRANKY :( However, I found out that I somehow became incredibly disciplined after using MFP for just a few days! The first couple of days, i tried just saving some calories so i…

You and everyone else that has responded is so right. You've already done the absolute best thing by sticking with MFP, good job! And you're still tracking, so there's no mysteries about why you might not be losing. The first steps are by far the hardest, you've got one of them already now all you have to do is start…

woah I didnt realize people felt this way about Jillian! I think she's awesome, I'm only on lvl 1 day 3 though. But she always seems to know what to say to keep me going. As for the girls, they don't really talk but that one advanced girl gets this insane crazy look on her face in one shot that scares me a bit every time :S

Yayyy! Thank you! I LOVE the mini challenges!

I knew this recovering drug addict who had a miserable 12 year addiction to many drugs. Tried to commit suicide a few times, in and out of the slammer constantly. Prostitution, living on the streets, OD's and relapses, everything horrible that comes with addiction. She told me she had never done any drugs until she was 15,…

Sheesh girl it sounds like you've got a bit of a bumpy journey ahead! Yes, there are plenty of homies here on MFP that have gone the surgery route, also plenty that have done it the traditional way. Whichever you choose we got your back 100% yo! You should be able to find all the info and support you need here, and always…

Oh nooooo! How dare they!? Just try to commit to not eating them, don't even give that idea the decency of crossing your strong mind! I've had temptations like that before and after you resist for a week or two you stop really noticing that they're there. I wouldn't be able to just eat 1/2 of one or one every now and then,…

Hey Hazel! Wow sounds like you've really got it goin on over there! That's incredible that you lost 11 pounds in a month! Really, thank you for sharing that it really does inspire me to hear these things! Don't hesitate to befriend me if you're looking for some extra support!
-
Hmm taking unflattering photos, that's a clever idea! Yes sometimes it does feel like the world's odds are against you when you're trying to lose weight, that's why ya gotta build up a defense team for support and fight back!

Heyy! Welcome No way, my sw is 165 and I wanna be 150 by xmas!!! Let's race to get those pounds off and look stunning by the holidays! Sending you a friend request...

Well I can really only speak for myself, but I NEVER think anyone is saying 'too much'. I am always happy to see encouraging comments on updates of me and my other friends. I also comment quite a bit on others, it's just my reaction when I see someone is doing well. I get really excited! Or if they're feeling not so great…

I got your back man! I work seasonally, and I just finished my summer/fall work and have lots of downtime before winter work comes so I'm on this thing all the friggin time! Sending a friend request your way right now
-
Oh really? That's where I got it and it worked fine... I always make sure whatever I'm d/ling has comments and then I read the comments to see if anyone had problems but everyone just said things like "this DVD is the best, I've already lost 7 lbs..." etc. So I d/led it and it worked fine, today's lv1 day 2! I'm not sure…

Stay committed! Remember that any amount of exercise is much better than none at all! Record EVERYTHING you eat and drink in your food diary! Be a regular part of the community, immerse yourself in it, strength in numbers! Don't sweat the small stuff! Remember that no one is perfect (certainly not me) and we all have our…

Can I jump on that train? I'm 5'5" & 165 lbs, wanting to get to 130 as well. Albeit I do have considerably more weight to lose than you but im just starting and I'm feelin pretty confident. Anyways, add me if you'd like
-
No no no friend! You do not need to manually enter nutritional information, that's the beauty of it. You go to the "food" menu and then in the search bar enter whatever your meal/snack is and a list of options will pop up and you just select the one that describes what you're eating, and from there you select the portion…

Hey! You sound like me almost a week ago when I was brand new! The feeling hasn't gone away, it only strengthens. I havent even weighed myself yet, and I don't expect that much has changed (as I said, it's only been a week) but I have SO much confidence in MFP and all the success stories that I'm there 100%…
-
Hello and welcome! I've only been around for not quite a week myself but the changes are already happening. Especially in my mind! I just feel happier and pumped about nutrition and exercise compared to other times. I can tell this really works. You sound like you've got the right mindset, now the best thing to do is get…

Haha, you cheat at being vegan with bacon! I've never heard that before, I think it's kinda funny ;) Hey Kim and welcome! I'm vegan as well and I love it. It sounds like you're definitely on the right track and you're doing really well, the support on here is only going to strengthen that. Feel free to add me if you could…
