I sent you a friend request. I lost 30 pounds in 2012 and slowly put it all back on in 2 years time. I realized how bad when I was trying on clothes from my last cruise (March 2013) and realized they were 2-3 sizes smaller. I refused to buy all new clothes and had to get serious about losing the weight. I lost 10 pounds…

You are welcome to add me as a friend. I just started back about a month ago. I lost 10 pounds and need to lose much more. What has worked for me is to log everything on to your MFP, even when you go off course. I used to say I'm not going to log that big Mexican dinner, but when I do it really helps to see how many…

Please add me too. I could use some friends closer to my age. I started back last month and lost 10 pounds and still need to lose more. I have a cruise in 5 weeks so I will be working hard to drop another 10 pounds before my cruise. We can do it!

Almonds, Almond Butter, Carrots, Premier Protein snack shakes (100 cal), lemons, and tea bags.

I say leave the goal the way you want too. You don't have to look as skinny as you did in high school. I'm 5'2" as well and when I get down too low, I don't look or feel as good. When you get in your 30's plus, you can be closer to 130-135 and look fine. That is the same goal I want to get too. I just gave up the soft…

That's awesome! I'm not a runner, but I'm a dog lover and my pooch is the one who gets me up early every morning for her morning walk and expects the same in the evening. She is pretty fast and would probably love to run if I picked up the pace. Please add me as a friend and we can motiviate each other.

I agree with the above. I lost 30 pounds a couple of years ago on Ideal Protein. I looked great, but as soon as I started eating real foods again, I gained it all back. Now it is going much slower, but I am eating healthy rather than dieting. Staying on MFP and logging what I eat and being accountable has helped me more…

My husband has lost 30 pounds and doesn't snore as loud as he did. He still wears his CPAP, but when he kicks it off, it is not nearly as bad. The first time we cruised together, he left the CPAP at home and it was so loud that I slept on the floor in the tiny bathroom until I could get ahold of some ear plugs. Best of…

Congratulations! That is a great loss! Keep up the work. You can do it!

Welcome back! I started back a couple of weeks ago and have already lost 10 pounds. You can do it! I'm sending you a friend request.

Welcome back! You can do it. I restarted a couple of weeks ago and have already lost 10 pounds. We know what to do and we just need to do it. I sent you a friend request. We can motivate each other.

Thanks for sharing. My motivation is my daughter. Last year for my birthday she told me she was going to stop drinking for a year and she has 2 months to go. She has decided not to start back drinking. Now she is working out 3-4 times a week doing kick boxing and looks wonderful. She told me the other day that she didn't…

I just started back 10 days ago and could use friends too. Please feel free to add me. Keep up the great work!

I love wine too and I'm sure that's how I gained 20 of the 30 pounds I lost about 2 years ago. I have a cruise at the end of September so I am working really hard to get in shape for that. I started my program this week and haven't had wine since last Saturday. I was having at least a glass or two a night and much more on…

You are welcome to add me. I'm on a 1200 cal diet too. I'm 5'2 and have about 40-50 pounds to lose. I just returned to MFP and have already dropped 5-1/2 pounds this week. We can do it!

I am 5'2" and need to lose 40-50 pounds. Please add me. Just got back MFP this week. Could use extra friends to motivate me too.

Don't get discouraged. At least it was only 5 pounds and you can get that off pretty quickly. I went too long and gained 20 out of 30 pounds. I just started back this week and most of my friends aren't on here any more so could use more friends to motivate each other. You can do it!

Congrats on meeting your goal! Have a very Happy Birthday.

Welcome to MFP. I just started back last week. It is a great tracking tool and lots of support here. Please feel free to add me as a friend. We can do it!

I like to make Michiladas with Coors Light. I fill a glass with ice and a half of beer and then put Zing Zang on top of it. They are good in the summer. You could probably use light V8. It stretches the beer and refreshing.

It sounds like we are in the same boat. I lost 30 pounds and have slowly gained it back over the last two years. I could use some motivation and friends so please add me too. We all know what to do, we just need to get motivated and do it! I have a cruise coming up in 11 weeks and starting today I am going to commit to…

The last time I lost 30 pounds it was because I posted pictures of where I was going on my cruise. I need to do that again since my cruise is in 76 days. I would think about what I wanted to look like my swimsuit and cute clothes. Once I started losing, I would put little comments that people had said on post it notes on…

For me it is just getting motivated. Once I am focused, I do really well and can lose. I know how to do it, but taking that first step is the hardest. I lost 30 pounds in 2012 and have slowly put 20 pounds back on. The minute I start back eating carbs, sweets, and drinking too much wine, it creeps back on. Today is my…

Happy fitversary! Love the new word. You look AWESOME! Motivating me to get back on program. Best of luck!

I have heard good things too and even have a 3-day trial pack that a friend gave me months ago. I am thinking of trying it next week to start my diet. We all know what to do, but getting motivated to do it is the hardest part. Sometimes a little boost helps. The price is marked $11.95 so if you are going to do it, try the…

Don't get discouraged. It sounds like a lot of people are going through the same thing. I just got back on MFP yesterday and determined to get this weight off once and for all. I lost 30 pounds this year and then went on a cruise in December and another one in March. I went back to my old eating habits and now have gained…

You are welcome to add me. I just started back and it does work. The friends were the ones who helped me come back. You can do it.

I'm from Dallas, but live in the Bastrop area and work in downtown Austin. Welcome to the group.

I replaced with Atkins shakes and bars. I prefer the Muscle Milk Light products.

Congratulations! That is a big accomplishment. I stopped tracking when I went on my cruise in mid-December and then ate what I wanted over the holidays. Unfortunately, I gained 10 pounds. It is a new year and I am ready to get back on track and lose weight. Keep up the great work. We can do it!
