Welcome to MFP! My name is Lisa, and his is my second go at it. MFP is hands down the easiest site to use. It doesn't hurt that it is free. I feel the more friends you make on here the better. You can't go wrong with extra support and accountability. Good luck! :-)

I just ordered mine too! I am excited. The only real thing bad I have heard is that that the packaging is a little hard to deal with. I can deal with that if the workout is good. :-)

Welcome to MFP! This is my second go at it. I am in the same boat. I want to lose 18lbs. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for all the feedback! I think that I will order them on Amazon. The DVD collection runs about $95.00 on their plus free shipping. :-) That seems like a pretty decent deal, since I have their prime membership and will get it in a day or two.

Welcome to MFP. This is second try at this. The first time I did not get very involved in the online community. This time around I have started to get more involved, and I find that I hold myself more accountable. Plus, giving and getting support does not hurt. I have about 18 lbs. (8.2 kilos), and a lot of shaping up…

Yeah, I wasn't sure whether I should get the original or the new version. The new version seems to have more dvds, hence the price difference. Both have really good reviews on Amazon. I like using dance cardio to mix things up a bit. Thank you for the info. :-)

Aloe vera can be good to use, but not long-term, because it is a laxative (a gentle and natural one). You can use it for several weeks to cleanse the colon, which can help your digestive system run smoother and increase your energy level. Here is a link about it:…

Thanks for the info. A Zumba party sounds like a fun way to spend time with friends. :-)

Welcome! I recently started my second try on MFP. I tried Weight Watchers several years back, and even though I thought it was a good program; I did not understand full nutrition using it. I like MFP, because it helps you to understand the big picture. It also doesn't hurt that it is free to use. Good luck! :-)

Hello my name is Lisa and this is my second go at this. I am looking for support as well. Since, I think the more friends you make on here... the more likely you are to be accountable and get support from others going through similar situations. :-)

I can definitely see the difference! Great job! For me, I notice the most difference when my clothes fit better or better yet, when they are too big.

I think it is part of life going to social get togethers with food. Going to these things are part of being a good friend, I try to do my best at these kind of functions, and try to make it up through out the week by eating more low cal items like lean meat, fish, veggies, and fruit - exercise also helps. Most importantly,…

I would say just about any desert, but pistachio ice cream would be at the top of the list!

Nice to meet you. My story is not completely the same as yours, but here it is. I quite smoking after doing it on and off again for 12 years. When I quit I was going through a lot life changes marriage, school, etc. I have a couple members with low thyroid and both of them eventually ended up on perscription medication.…

Hi guys, it is nice to see a husband and wife team on here, as I use MFP and my husband uses Live Strong. I use MFP, because I find it easier... also my sister and mom use it. I am on here to lose some weight and get into better shape, so that I can enjoy doing athletic things again. My sister has lost over 100lbs. using…

Sorry for such a late reply, but I will definitely have get some peanut flour. Thank you for the idea and for the nutritional information.

Awesome! Thanks for the ideas. I have never though about peanut flour. What is the nutritional info on that?

Good description... can't wait to get mine. :-)
