Wow. You look great, congratulations! Very motivating, thanks for sharing!

Whether you're doing WW or MFP it's about weighing and measuring what you're eating in order to figure out points vs calories. That itself teaches you proper portion control. I am a lifetime member of WW. Went initially about 25 years ago, thought I was fat at 121--lost 11pounds and reached goal weight. The plan at that…

Although fruit is healthy and good for you, it still has calories... I'd be careful with that and would still log it myself.

Feel free to add me as well, this is our year, girlfriend!

Wonderful, such an inspiration!

Fairly new here...I keep seeing this 'bump' thing come up... What does it mean???

Congratulations, you look terrific! Good work.

I think each WW point is around 50 calories, depending on the fat/fiber content of the food. So 29 points would be 1450 roughly. With mfp it's suggested that you eat back your exercise, With WW it's up to you if you want to eat back your exercise or not.

Weight watchers is basically counting calories, but then you have to convert them to points--an extra step. I really do not think you need to start there first at all. This is such a handy app and convenient. Good luck!

I'm 51 and know what you mean. Feel free to friend me if you'd like. Can never have too much support.

Agree, their defense definitely needed help! Oh well... still love them. And yes, looking toward baseball season now!

I'm a Packer backer and am so sad for their loss! Wonder if the death of that boy played into it a little. Had to have some affect on their psychies..The Badgers basketball team won yesterday-- and yes, we did win Miss America! ;)

Fantastic!

How long did it take you?

Phenomenal! Thanks for sharing--very inspirational.. :-)

I joined the same day as you and am down 3.5 so far. 50 is my goal as well. If it came off by June that would be great, but I would be happy with 30 by June at least. Just to allow for any possible plateaus that kind of thing. Feel free to add me if you'd like!

You're beautiful, great accomplishment. Congrats!

I think age has a lot to do w this question. In my late 20's I thought I was fat at 121 ponds, so I joined weight watchers and lost 11 pounds initially. Then I went through some relationship issues and dropped another 5. I weighed 105 at that point--I looked gaunt! Eventually got to around 115 and held there for awhile.…

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing those, so motivating!

Happy one year anniversary, what an accomplishment. You look fantastic!

Hello, I'm 51 and would like to lose 30 pounds by the end of June, and ultimately 50# down by the end of the year. I've gotten out of a regular exercise routine over the past 4-5 years. Like many busy, working mothers, everyone else's needs have been put ahead of mine. It's by my own doing, I don't begrudge any of it. I…

I bought the p90x program two years ago and haven't tried it yet, crazy! Maybe I'll dust it off and get started...lol

I've just recently joined. Nice to see how I could look myself next Christmas! Thanks for the inspiration, you look fantastic!

Hi. I am in exactly the same boat! I'm 51 and want to lose 50 # this year. I am currently at an all time high for my weight and cannot stand how I feel with all this extra weight. I've noticed that I've developed extra fat around the middle--the dreaded 'menopot!' I never had weight problems around the middle when…
