  • I started MFP in the beginning of January 2012 and have lost 10 lbs simply by staying within my 1250 a day calorie goal, and very little exercise other than the occasional walking and house work. I still eat what I want, haven't starved, and feel great, simply by watching what I eat. Who would have thought!?
  • Welcome! 42 with 3 kids 11, 9, 5. Started Jan 1st 2012 and lost 10 lbs so far, simply tracking my calories. Never thought I'd budge a pound after my 5 year old was born. This is the only tool that has moved the scale. Good luck!
  • Low fat nachos (ground turkey instead of ground beef, low fat cheese, low fat sour cream) and spinach & artichoke dip with low fat mayo/cream cheese/sour cream. Still not the healthiest in the world but I felt good knowing I tried. Plus used carrots instead of chips, and pita chips instead of nachos. Overally not horrible!…
  • I'm 5'7" and the lightest I ever was before my 3 kids was 137 in my 20's and that was very skinny for my frame (very muscular). I went up to 162 after 3 kids and now I'm down to 154 with my goal being about 145. I know anything below that probably won't be sustainable for me at my age (42).
