I reached my goal weight about 6 months ago. I continue to log everyday. I have now logged over 500 days in a row. It helps me maintain my focus on eating right.

Welcome...All I can tell you is don't think that you are on a diet. You are making a lifestyle change. I have been doing this site for almost a year and am down over 100 pounds. Good luck. If you are really ready you will be successful.

Welcome aboard.It has worked for my wife and I.

I started running around that weight. I used C25K to build up. I have now run several 5K races and run 5-6 times a week. Good Luck

Great Job....Keep up the good work

We eat healthy, watch our carbs and stay within the recommended calories. Started with a basic ADA diet as a guideline. I LOG EVERY MEAL and exercise 5 days a week.

I am grateful for reaching my goal weight. The tremendous support of my wife, and my 4 (soon to be 5) grandchildren.

Active.com you can put in your area and find all races near you.

Way to go! You look great!

Thanks for all the encouragement and nice comments......It really helps :)

I have lost 98 pounds and my wife has lost 45. I am saying that if I can do it...you can too. Good luck to you and remember it is not a diet it is a lifestyle change.

My wife will love this

Microwave...It only takes about 8 min. I like them plain...sometimes a little cinnamon

Use the recipe option in foods and create your own recipe. Just put in all ingriedients and look at the total number of calories then you can figure out portions.

Cheerios and fiber one original with stevia and almond milk.

MFP will tell you it is time to change your settings after about 10 pounds. Then you just go back to your goals with your current weight and let it recalculate.

Their spinach chicken salad is 428 calories.

Fantastic.. I just ran my second 5K....I still can't get under 30 minutes. My time last weekend was 33:15... I guess thats not to bad for someone who qualifies for the senior citizen discount

I can tell you it works. I have struggled with my weight all my life. I started on MFP on Sept 1st of 2010 and I have lost 86 pounds. I ran in my first 5K this past saturday. If you had asked me in September I would have told you I could'nt run. If you want to you will succeed.

My tip is don't try to keep up with the sprinters in the beginning. You will be surprised how many you pass back at the 2 mile mark.

My wife says I am addicted. I run about 6 days a week. I might run one in Leesburg next weekend.

Probably not safe, but most likely not effective. There is no shortcut. You have to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight. The most important things are to eat healthy and exercise. That is the only way to have safe and effective and permanent weight loss....

My wife and I have been using Almond milk for a while now. I use it primarily on my cereal for breakfast. I am not a milk drinker. I like it much better than soy milk. It comes unsweetened.

CALL YOUR DOCTOR NOW.....

Not over 60 but I am 55 this year. It is never too late to eat healthy and exercise. I have lost 80 pounds since August. Good luck on your journey....

Another vote for PB2....It is really good

I am working toward my first 5K. I have neve run in my life. I will be 55 on my next birthday. I have my time down to 35 minutes. Not to bad for someone that qualifies for the senior citizen discount. To get started I used a modified version of C25K.
