Great job! I loved your comment about loving the journey you are on. I feel the same way. Even though it's been a little over five weeks, I feel so empowered and in control. Plus, I am absolutely loving the support on the MFP site. Good luck on the rest of your journey!

Hi, CK! I'm also a newbie -- four weeks in! I read your profile, and I can TOTALLY relate. I had a couple of really hard years, which led to a deep depression. I finally asked for help, got on meds that made me gain weight, and now I'm at my highest weight in my entire life. Talk about a bummer. My motto is just to take it…

Thanks for the tip on emilybites.com! I feel like I found gold with this blog. I've already pulled 10 recipes I want to try. Thank you!!!

Congrats! I'm also 5'3, so your story gave me an encouragement boost. Thanks! :)

Thank you for sharing your story. It is definitely about making a complete change to your life, and you are quite the example. I appreciate the reminder and inspiration! :)

Amazing! Congrats on your hard work. Good luck with the marathon!

Thank you for sharing your story! One of my goals is to run a 5K...or as you say...slog. (I absolutely love that!) Congrats on your hard work!

Congrats on your hard work! :)

Incredible! Congrats on your hard work! Beautiful!

Congrats on your hard work! It just goes to show that the scale isn't the only number that matters. :)

I just started as well, and I completely agree. Your success is amazing! Congrats to you on the hard work -- of weight loss and raising your son! :)
