Beautiful story!

Wow! You are definitely an inspiration for all the MFP peeps!

You can do it! It's one day at a time and this site is great for moral support and info.

well said , loovie!

Wow! Congratulations on your fantastic results! Lots of dedication I know.

Welcome! I got back on 3 weeks ago and loving it! Lots of support and good info.

Have you tried xylitol in your coffee! It helped me break my sugar addiction. You can find it at health food stores and if you find you like it you can order it on Amazon in 5lb bags. I think it tastes just like sugar and it doesn't affect your glycemic index. It's all natural too..from birch trees.

I'm telling everyone about it and am very happy with the way it tracks everything so I'll know where I stand in my fitness journey.

I'm doing the elliptical, crunches, and a hip-hop class once a week and hope to increase more as I go. So glad you have a…
