Personally, I like WW and MFP. I will be doing both in 2012. If I can do everything on MFP that I can on WW, I will not go to WW anymore...we will see... MFP is just like WW only in calories and NOT PP+ -Melanie-

Im new too. I do WW though. Maybe between WW and MFP I can get through it. Add me if you want to.

WTG girl...Keep it going...we love ya!

Add me if you want.

Im new to MFP too. I do WW as well. I will be doing both in 2012. If I can trust myself, I will stop WW and do MFP instead. I will let you know how it goes in a year. So far, MFP is same as WW, but in points and not calories. I am having hard time converting from PP+ into calories, but I'm getting there. I love it here. I…

I have $40 to spend on 3 people for a week. My mother lives alone and she spends $50 on herself in a week. Its VERY tight as far as my money goes. We go to the Dollar General to buy our groceries. When I eat healthy "power foods" I spend $100 for 3 people in a week at Brookshires (this is my preference). I'm trying new…

I am going to do WW and MFP all year. If it works out I can stop going to WW and just go here for free like you said. That is one of my goals for 2012.

trying to post a quote...just found out how to do it.

double post sorry

I only lose 0.7 lbs per week. Slow and steady. Set small goals that are realistic. Long term goals are the ones that you can strive for when you are getting close to the ideal weight that is suggested to you. Be patient. You can do it!!!

WW wants you to eat POWER FOODS..........do you know what a power food is? They are: fruits vegetables whole grains dairy lean protein My WW PP value is 42 per day, and that is 1900 or so calories on MFP!!!!!!! My BIG problem was COST of those power foods. We eat a lot of processed foods and not what is healthier for us to…

My goal range is between .05 to 1 pound per week.:flowerforyou:

My best friend had bypass done in 2011 too. She looks great. At Christmas dinner gathering everyone said she looked so good. She said the same thing, she has not regretted it. I have done research and flipped back and forth on if I want surgery to help me get over the bump. The only thing stopping me is $$$$$$. DH told me…

28 lbs in 9 mo:flowerforyou: I have a ticker that shows the total of my weight loss every time I post. It automatically is posted by MFP tools

789 calories 60 carbs 23 fat 81 protein

660 calories 86 carbs 21 fat 26 protein

:flowerforyou: I have logged in meals in e-Tolls for WW website since March 2011. I decided this month to try NOT logging in WW (and use the simply filling technique) instead. I eat "power foods" cuz I already know the points plus value of what I eat. BUT I am new to MFP and I just started logging my meals in this website.…

ditto...Im voting the same explanations above...all are explanations have my vote on loose skin and how to keep it off. I have lost 28 lbs in 9 mo. The slower you go and keep it off the better your chances of not having loose skin.

I will log everything cuz I need to see what happens when I give myself a "free" day. Everyday counts. If I put it in my mouth, I must log to make sure everyone else can see my foods and help me along with my choices in all the yummy foods during ANY day (including holidays).:flowerforyou:

What is bumb, if I may ask? Or should it have been bumP? :flowerforyou:

What a great NSV. Way to go girl!!! Congratulations on your anniversary too. My NSV is I can not only bend to my feet in a chair, but I can tie my shoes.

I had to share this info!!!:flowerforyou:

Dont be so discouraged already. I have been at it since March 8, 2011 and only have lost 28 lbs. When you figure the average weight loss with gains and losses I have had, it is only 0.7 lbs a week loss. In other words, give it time. You will have hills and valleys. Anyone can add me as a friend. Check out my story. You…

My favorite quote is: 1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. I will run the race of weight loss and I will SUCCEED!!!:flowerforyou:

DH and I met at a full service gas station where I worked. May 26, 1989 is our anniversary. Check out my pics of Scott and our two girls Kayla (DOB March 11, 1990) and Lacy (DOB September 15, 1995) and I.

I have only lost 28 lbs in 9 mo. I think the slower it comes off the better chances of staying off. I will never go back to that weight again. Good luck to you all. Feel free to add me as a friend as I need all the help I can get.

cfred40, LOL.....yeah, you should have read it all. We can be friends though. 131 is impressive. I want to loose 131.

Friday, December 23, 2011 I see so many success stories and all I can say is: The ones where people stand up holding the old pants they used to wear and dropping them are my favorites. When they say that you can fit two of themselves in old clothes I cry every time. I am soooo big right now, and I'm sure that one day I…
