Welcome! You'll see that there is some really good motivating person and stories on here!

Wow! Good job! Keep it up girl!

Wow! Congratulations! /doing a lil happy dance with you :wink:

And your max calories intake per day is? 1200?

I'm in! Gotta get some motivation to help me lose that weight!

Wow this is so great! Congratulations! It takes soo much motivation to reach that kind of weight loss!

I agree with you, it would probably be the best to put it under Strenght Training.

Welcome! Yup MFP shows you really how much you are eating. When we start this, none of us really knew how many calories we were eating. At least, i didn't knew from my part. Just some small changes to our eating habit can make a huge difference!

Even tough MFP is great for losing weight, it is also a place where we can relearn how to eat, the portions, etc. Basically it helps us to have a good relationship with food. Keep it up and feel free to add me as a friend!

Welcome! The first 3-4 days are the toughest. That's when you'll probably get cravings but sticks with it. It's so awesome when you finnaly see the pounds melting off of you! Keep it up!

Alright guys, let's have a brainstorm so we can have daily challenges/exercises for our weight loss!

I do not grow my own fruit and veggie. I have 2 dogs who loved veggies and they would probably destroy the garden to get a lil snack. So i steal them from my mom's garden. She growns : Potatoes, Green/Yellow Peppers, tomatoes, cucumber, zucchini, green beans, onions and carrots. Fruits: Strawberry, Blueberry, Apples and…

I'm in! I, also, have put on all that weight all by myself! Like you i have noticed that quite a few women here are mommy and sometimes you feel quite left off. And i'm up for some weekly challenges! Gotta get the motivation going!

Thank you guys! I know that since this is my first week that I will lose a bit more than usual (change of food, exercising for once)and that in a couple of days I'll go back to probably just losing 1-2 lbs per week but I was so amazed at the difference good eating, exercising and MFP can do.

Congratulations! Let's keep up the good work!

I'm in! I would like to utimately lose 75 lbs but my goal is to lose at least 25 lbs (would love 35 lbs) before January 13, 2010. i wanna be able to wear a bikini on my vacation! :)

Wow! I thought that the 75 pounds i need to lose was nearly impossible but now that i see you, i am truly inspired to stick with MFP and finally lose my extra weight so that i can look as good as you do! Again, congratulation and wow!

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately, i can't really eat within 30 minute of waking up. I get up at 5:10am and have to take an hour long bus ride to work (and you can't eat on a bus). I usually ate at around 7:30-8:30am but i'll try to make up some time for eating when i wake up. I didn't know for the lemon, thanks i'll try that.…
