Don't stumble over something behind you. You're not going that way. Success if failing nine times and getting up ten. If you change nothing, nothing will change.

What a great job you've done! Fabulous!

Please don't give up. Just noticed that you just started with MFP in August. Today is just Sept 11? This program takes time. You can do it, if you don't give up. It took me about 2 years to lose all of my 88 pounds. I didn't do it entirely on MFP but this was the very best plan. Now I have been on maintenance for about a…

I was at work. A client gave me the news over the phone. I remember it as starting as a particularly clear and beautiful day. How ironic.

Bump.

I am 5 8 1/2 and 131 pounds. I would like to re-gain 3 or 4 of the 88 pounds I've lost. My advice is to have goals but keep reassessing as you go. I used to think I was large boned (when I wore a size 20w), but now admit and realize that I was simply fat. I think 133-135 is my ideal. I will get back there.

Been on maintenance for awhile. Not as easy as it seems. You may have gone too far and want to put on a few extra pounds, but find it difficult to eat normal sized portions. When I drop below 130 pounds (5 8 1/2), I try to regain a few pounds. Best success is adding 300+ calories to my normal breakfast which is 420…

Exactly. Also when people go off on others -- criticizing their spouses, etc. This is a Health and Fitness site. Not Divorce Court.

Get going on Pinterest right away. As of last week, you no longer need an invitation to join. It's 100% free. No ads either. It's the coolest thing. Start by installing your "pin button" and be prepared! It's the most addictive site. And relaxing too. And wait till you see all the health & fitness pictures. You should love…

I recently tried the NYX Jumbo Lip pencil. Tried in the color Pecan. Only $4.50 at Ulta. This is how it was reviewed: It’s double or nothing with this lip liner and lipstick in one. Our masterful Jumbo Lip Pencils infuse lips with alluring, nourishing color, and help you create a precision pout. That’s line, define and…

Say what? Where is this place, "Walton's Mountain?" I want to go! The sandwich does not sound too appealing to me, personally, but to each his own, right?

My favorite site, MFP, sure has changed through the years. I know we are not supposed to discuss other sites on MFP,, but I would like to recommend a non-competitive site, also free, for those who want just a motivational site with no words. It is Pinterest. You can comment on Pinterest as well, but for the most part, it…

Bump for later.

Personally I'd rather hear the cliches than hear nothing. And I'd much rather people just don't drop off of MFP without any warning. I've seen a few wonderfully supportive peeps just totally abandon the site. Guess they ran out of clever things to say. So WTG guys; stay on your journeys; and just don't weigh-in during TOM!…

Haven't read the whole thread, but this is one of my favorites -- from Zig Ziglar - Motivational Speaker: People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily.

"Been there, done that, bought the Tee Shirt." Hate it when people have to one up you on everything.

You are doing great! Just keep going. This is a wonderful, motivating site. Just keep with the MFP Program and you will reach your goal.

Chinese food. Mostly a huge selection from a really good Chinese buffet.

No way are these the same gal! That top picture is your older sister or mom, right?

Wow! Thought for sure these were two different people! You've done so well!

Try not to be too critical folks. Mike and his team have put together a super site here! And it's FREE! I see some of you with just a few dozen posts. Why bother posting if it's all going to be negative on how this program works? This is a very adult web site for weight loss/gain. By that I mean, there is no prescribed…

Fantastic! You are doing so great!!!

All of the above suggestions are really great. Another suggestion: Join Pinterest. It's a FREE SITE. It's the 3rd largest website in the World. Lots of MFP people are on there! It's almost an entirely visual site. You don't have to do any commenting if you don't wish to "speak." Just check it out: Pinterest.com Lots of…

I eat carbs every day. I love Multi Grain bagels and breads. Eat them daily but watch that they stay within my calorie allotment. Adore pasta, rice and other "white carbs." Still enjoy these in moderation. I have cut way back on the high sugar fruits that I love, but still eat them once or twice a week. I have had to cut…

Nice, low-key vibe. Listens. Talks. Healthy and fit. Cooks. Sense of humor. Great hair.

Pinteresting

Check out the car as well as the gal. If she is driving a cool set of wheels, looks in great condition (the car), and she's not too bad, go for it. Just walk up and comment on the price of gas. You know prices are falling. You can just say you paid a lot more last week at such and so station just a mile from where you are.…

Totally boring -- Grande coffee -- usually the "bold." Have the same thing almost every day. When I get my "free drink," I splurge with a Venti. Just love their coffee.

When I was heavy, I worked Part Time as a fit model for a major American designer -- size 18W. Now a size 6 or 8.

Still eating but have things pretty well planned out. Knew I'd be okay on calories. On Maintenance now so I get a lot -- almost 1800. But, way over on sodium (lucious honey baked ham) and sugar grams. Had my Cadbury Mini Eggs yesterday. Enough calories for a little ice cream, but the sugar grams would go way over. So I…
