  • Hello Emma, I'd be happy to add you to my network of others who are along with you on this journey. I've found that it really does help, I'm about 2/3 of the way to my goals and must give due credit to the support I've both given to and received from others on MFP. I've just sent you a friend request, and welcome anyone…
  • I've found that accountability partners in here have been a major part of my success to date. I'm down 80 pounds out of my goal of 110 to lose. I'm a daily user and do enjoy helping to keep others motivated, as much as I enjoy getting motivation from others. I'm always willing to add others to my circle so we can help each…
  • I am always willing to add others interested in achieving a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.

  • MFP has helped me to lose more than 70 pounds since I began in earnest a little more than a year ago. The motivation and encouragement of others has helped me keep that going. I am more than happy to continue adding to a network of like-minded people who are in this to help each other achieve and maintain our fitness…
  • Many of us are here because we, too, have that struggle. I've tried a number of times to lose the weight with varying degrees of success, but it usually comes back. I've shifted my mentality to that of a lifestyle change, not a diet, and so far this seems to be working for me. Tracking what I eat, how much I exercise and…
  • I am having this same issue, it was driving me mad trying to resolve...then I found this support article on the topic: http://myfitnesspal.desk.com/customer/portal/articles/2892382-individual-exercises-not-syncing-from-garmin It is still not resolved, but at least it acknowledges that MFP is aware and working it.
  • I'm happy to add you, and anyone else looking to provide mutual support and motivation. It does work. I'm down 50 pounds so far, looking to lose another 60. Sending you a friend request, and will gladly accept any requests in kind from others who are serious about helping each other succeed in our long term health and…
  • I'm almost halfway to my goal of losing 110 pounds. Motivation and support on MFP has been most helpful. I'm an active daily user and enjoy giving and receiving encouragement and motivation. I'm sending you a friend request, and will gladly accept other requests in kind of people serious about achieving long term health…
  • I'm always happy to add another motivational partner. It does make a difference. Sending a friend request your way, I invite any others reading to do the same . Let's help each other achieve our goals.
  • I just got a wearable fitness device as well (Garmin vivoactive HR), and I'm anxious to see if it helps. I do try to clear the "move bar" when it appears, but that will not always be possible if I'm in meetings. What I've done so far when I can, I get up and just do a lap around the building hallways, or perhaps walk up a…
  • I'm down 48 pounds so far, about halfway to where I want to be. I'm happy to add you and anyone else who is serious about helping others and themselves achieve a healthier lifestyle. MFP does work.
  • Happy to add you! Like the friends I've already made on here, I hope we can help each other achieve our goals. To anyone else reading this, I'm always willing to add to the support network. It does make a difference. :smile:
  • I'm down about 45 of the 110 pounds I'm trying to lose. Motivation and encouragement of others has helped a lot. Feel free to add me, perhaps we can help each other achieve success.
  • As of today, I'm down 45 of the 110 pounds I want to lose. Support, encouragement and motivation have been so helpful. Please feel free to add me, maybe we can help each other achieve success.
  • I'm at a similar position with similar goals...40 pounds down and wanting to lose 110 total. I'm happy to add anyone who is interested in mutual encouragement, accountability and motivation.
  • I used MFP quite successfully a few years ago, but fell out of practice and the weight came back on. I've found that most of the people I'd added as friends and who provided me a little accountability and motivation have stopped using MFP. I'm very interested in rebuilding my friends list and getting back to a sense of…
  • Always willing to add others who are serious about achieving and motivating others to achieve their fitness goals. Anyone who fits this description may feel free to add me. I'm approaching my halfway point and am a bit stalled out, so some mutual motivation could be a good thing!
  • I've got some good, supportive folks in my MFP network and do my part to help the community stay that way. I'm always willing to add anyone serious about this, so you or anyone else feel free to send me a request.
  • Awesome! I can relate, just had one of those today at work. Within 30 minutes, two people I've worked with for years stopped me and asked how much weight I've lost, and one of them was unaware that I was working at it. It made my morning, that's for sure. Congratulations, Bill, and keep up the great work!
  • I'm always glad to have more friends here who are serious about achieving and helping others achieve their goals. You and anyone else who fits this profile are welcome to add me.
  • I've been at MFP since January and am down almost 40 pounds. Having support of friends on here definitely helps keep the motivation levels up, and with regular process it also helps contribute to that motivation. It's almost addicting, which in this case is good. I'm always willing to add anyone who is serious about…
  • Here's my basic recipe, put all in a food processor or blender including the reserved liquid from the can of beans. I also add whatever suits my mood, typically pimento stuffed olives...but the possibilities are endless. 1 15-ounce can garbanzos (reserve 1/4 cup liquid) 1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste) 1/4 cup lemon juice…
  • You've joined a great support network here, Cycotic. I'm about where your weight is now and have almost the same end goal, but I've dropped about 40 pounds so far this year to get to this point. I've not found another more effective tool for losing weight by adopting a healthy lifestyle. Best of luck in your journey, and…

  • 2 cups of spinach 2 bananas 1 mango 1 apple 2 stalks celery Add water as needed (2-4 cups, typically) and blend until creamy...makes an absolutely delicious smoothie that can be a meal substitute. I make this a few times a week, often as a lunch at work. You'll need a pretty powerful blender to get the desired consistency.…
    in Spinach ? Comment by Jeffrey_S May 2013
  • Welcome to MFP, and I hope you experience is as great as mine has been here so far. I've tried a lot of different ways to track my diet and exercise and this has by far been the most effective. The peer support really helps as well. You or anyone else who is serious about helping and being helped to achieve your goals may…
  • I'll send you a friend request, I'm always glad to add anyone who is serious about achieving and motivating others to achieve a healthier life.
  • I used to hate it growing up, but have come to really enjoy asparagus. My two favorite ways to prepare it: Fresh green asparagus (the thicker the stalk, the better): Brushed lightly with olive oil, garlic and black pepper, then flame grilled. Fresh white asparagus (again, the thicker the stalk, the better): Peel the woody…
  • This is precisely what's happening to me right now, the first 29 pounds came off quickly, but I've been stuck at this plateau for a couple of weeks...but my pants are noticeably more loose-fitting and I'm down to the last hole in my belt, so it is still progress.
  • I'm always willing to add MFP friends who are serious about achieving and maintaining a healthier lifestyle, and having a few laughs along the way is a definite bonus! This is so far my most successful venture into achieving my goals and I owe a lot of that to the support of like-minded people with similar objectives.
