Feel free to add me! I've began this journey myself at the beginning of May of this year. So far, so good! Having the support of those here on MFP really helps me keep it up! I'm also proof that giving up soda, eating right and counting calories really works! I wish you luck, I know you can do it if you set your mind to it!

No, never has really been accurate, but I'm glad it's there on some days. I do see the number's as motivation on those days where it's been a little challenging staying within my calorie limit. Most of the time, it's just a number though, just like the numbers on the scale every morning. :)

This site is filled with people who: 1. Need to lose a few pounds 2. Spend hours a day in a gym 3. Vegetarians 4. Have an ideal BMI, but want a sculpted body 5. Need to lose 100+ pounds 6. Need to lose 10-30 lbs 7. Everyone else in between That being said, I am a number 5. I joined MFP about 117 days ago. I have lost 75…

I have eaten whatever food that I have wanted to eat since I began MFP in May. I have taken small steps to lean towards a healthier lifestyle, which doesn't include a lot of junk food. I am slowly ridding my diet of processed foods, for health reasons only. A calorie of deep fried ice cream, is the same as a calorie of…

I am from Northern Indiana, about 45 minutes from Chicago, Illinois, USA. My biggest downfall was consuming 1,000 or more calories from my energy drinks and soda. I quit both of them and will never go back! Water is my new "drinking buddy"!

WOW! You look great!! Fantastic job!

That sucks!! I know it will happen to me at some point. I'm not looking forward to it at all! I hope you get some good suggestions here and they work. It will benefit you and I, when I hit one. I've got no suggestions as I've never tried to lose weight before. I'll be praying for you, that's all I can do... Steve

I think of my kids and grand kids and how I want to make sure that I do my part by taking care of my body, to be around for them. To run and play with them and be healthy enough to enjoy them.

Great Job! Looking great! Keep it up...I'm catching up...LOL..

You have come to the right place if you are looking for help to change your lifestyle. There are many members here that have been , or are in your shoes. DO NOT GIVE UP! Trust me, it gets easier, much easier. You might not lose weight right away, but who cares, eating healthy and watching your calories is not a diet. It's…

So last night I was at this bar and ...... Things you shouldn't say to the mother of an ugly baby....

Yes, that was taken at his graduation from BCT at Ft.Jackson, SC last July. It was a miserable 100+ day. Hard to believe that I once was that size and served my country in the Army also. :)

Thank you all for your kind words and inspiration to keep losing. You guys and gals are all an inspiration to me! I can't believe how easy it was to simply change my diet to healthier foods and watch my calories. 2 months ago, when I joined MFP, I read alot of posts on "Success Stories". I thought to myself, can I do it?…

I started my journey a couple months ago with 150lbs to lose. I'm just under 100lbs to go. It's been a great 2 months, I'm very satisfied with my current weight loss. I never go to bed hungry, and I don't starve myself during the day! I believe that in order for you to be successful you need 3 things. 1. You have to want…

I'm with you on this one! I admit it, I started wearing slip on sandels whenever possible. When I did wear shoes, I tied them loose, so I could just slip them on. I have back issues too, but after I shed some weight over the past couple of months, I too have an easier time without my gut in the way. Way to go! Keep up the…

I've only been at this a couple of months, it's as if I still taste what I'm craving. I love carbohydrates more than anyone I know. I've searched the web for "healthy" alternatives for most of my cravings. If I must eat a "Caramel Pretzel Klondike Bar", when a 100 calorie, no sugar added one isn't what I'm craving, I cut…

Glad you are here! url=http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker] [/url]

Wow, great job! I started out at 400lbs too, that was on May 5th. It's going great! I can't wait until I can post pic's that show my loss , right now, I just don't see that much of a difference. Maybe I'll get brave enough when I reach a 100lbs lost. You have inspired me. Thanks for posting!

You look great! Perfect example of dedication! Thank you for sharing!

My first 2 weeks were a lot more work than its been so far. I started my healthy eating and counting calories the day I found MFP, that was May 5 of this year. The first 10 days I lost NO weight! It was very depressing, I was doing everything right. I didn't weigh myself again for a week, then the weight dropped! It's been…

Great! :smile:

I'll let you guess...LOL

You ROCK!

Hello, Welcome to MFP! This app and site has helped me tremendously! I hope it does the same for you. Feel free to add me as a friend. I started my new, healthy eating on May 5, 2012 at 400 lbs. Last weigh-in one week ago today ( I weigh on Mondays), I had shed 26 lbs! I hope to show a loss of at least 5 more lbs today!…

Thank you all for your comments. This is the first 0 calorie product that I have tried. I started eating healthy 35 days ago. As of day 32 I have lost 26 pounds. Feel free to view my profile and food diary. I admit that by counting calories and eating mostly fresh foods, losing weight has been somewhat effortless. Maybe by…

Thank you for your replies, now we can all take your opinions into consideration. :bigsmile:

My oldest son is 5'10" and weighs 163lbs and eats 6,000 calories a day...but, what does that have to do with me??? (girlfriend reference) I'm 43 yrs old and have 3 vertebrae in my back that need fused or disc's replaced. I served my country for 4 years in the Army (Desert Storm Veteran) I know how to exercise (thanks for…

Sounds great! Thanks for the info!
