I joined mfp in August 2010. I had lost 11 ponds before mfp and have lost 50 since for a total of 61lbs. I LOVE MFP. There's no way I could have done it without it, because it has held me accountable! I am so THANKFUL for ALL the encouragement that I get from my FRIENDS! I tell everybody about it! I'm about half way there.

I am a troop leader in fact I'm cookie Mom. I actually ate some Saturday, and logged everyone I ate. Did not go over my calories or my fat for the day. Even maintained my weight this weekend. Yah me! It can be done. Now granted I won't eat them everyday!

what is the website hungry girls??? anyway she had a baked cheese stick recipe before Christmas. I can't remember specifics, but you crush or grind fiberone cereal, and mix in italian seasoning and you use string cheese. wash the string cheese in egg white, then roll in crushed fiberone cereal. Bake in oven. It is yummy. I…

had someone at church yesterday tell me that their husband told her that I looked like a teenager. If I look like a teenager @58 down, wonder what I will look like when I finally reach my ultimate goal of 120 ponds gone. Oh, btw I do feel like a teenager!

I tried the salsa chicken yesterday for lunch. The GREAT thing about it was it was ready when we came in from church. I served it with the ready serve brown rice, and we were sitting down in 3 minutes. Is it too much to ask for you to send me a copy. joanjac@prodigy.net. Thanks!

You look AMAZING!

yah you! Your story is inspiring! Keep it up!

just like everyone else said.....increase your fiber, and try to drink more water. I will drink coffe, and eat a fiber one bar for a snack. Or try fruit, like bananas and apples. They say pears have more fiber, but I'm not a fan of pears. What about yogurt??? Yogurt always makes me feel full too!

Planning ahead is key. Last Friday, I didn't have a plan, so when I hit the door, I ate 4 mini packs of skittles. But this Friday I stopped on the way home from work and picked up something heatthy to eat. I just try to exercise more when i know that I am going to eat out. And this may not be smart, but I eat light all…

snack wells deviled food cookies.

GREAT job! You look amazing!

GREAT job!

Hey I needed to hear that!

what is it??? I haven't heard of it, unless it is called something else?

I personally try to drink 12 a day, but I have found that if I go much over like closer to 15 for a few days in a row, my side kind of like where my kidneys are will start hurting, almost like a pinching feeling. So I try to stay closer to 12!

Way to go girl! You are so inspiring. I tell people about you all the time. You are so dedicated, with your exercise. I am soooo happy for you!

Congratulations! You are a perfect example hard work pays off! You are so inspirational!

Wow! Now that is inspiring! Congratulations!

Your doing GREAT! Congratulations! What a difference a year makes!

I too gained 4 this am. The same thing happened at Thanksgiving, and after the 1st day of eatting right again, I had lost all 4. Hoping the same thing will happen this time, because I was at 203. So close! I'm just going to step up my exercise tomorrow, and eat healthy. 2 days of dressing, and sweetpotatoe casserole are…

Your doing GREAT! You are sooo motivating!

That's determination. That's so inspiring! Congratulations! You look amazing!

Great Job! I am very Happy for you! Was hoping to e there myself by Christmas, but it won't be much longer. You are so motivating@ Congratulations!

You look GREAT!

Thanks everyone! I know the pictures aren't the best. Maybe by the next time I post some more, I will figure out how to do it easier. My husband actually helped me post the pictures. I didn't want to tell him, but the one at the beach, I was 258, and the one yesterday, I'm at 206. So I am pleased with the progress. I…

Thanks!!!

Trying to learn how to post picutres.... any help?

Yah! Way to go! I was 4lbs more than my husband when We started out too! He kind of fell off the wagon, but I have tried to stay committed. Now I'm 33lbs less than him. I know that men can lose faster than women, but just remember slow and steady wins the race!
