I am enjoying it while I can - flying home Thursday, I hope.

We are getting ice at home (south west Ohio); however, I am in Orlando - 81 and sunny today!

Just sent you a freind request - MFP will work if you stick with it. We are all here to help.

I am from West Chester - just north of Cincinnati.

First 57 lbs is outstanding, great job. The way I understanding, and I am not expert, that you will and flatten out is that you can either pick up the intensity (swim/walk faster, etc) or change what you are doing - switch to step or some other type of areobic workout.

Makes sense, I am big on hitting or exceeding 8 cups of water everyday. I don't think people realize how much better you feel when properly hydrated.

I just sent you a request.

I will be adding you. Way to take control of your life in all aspects. The site is great and the people are really supportive. We are all in this together. Give a shout if you need support.

It is a great site - be honest with food and excersice and if you hit your goals the weight will come off. Good luck.

If you want results and support this is the site for you. Don't be nervous - people are great here. Good luck - I friended you so we can motivate each other.

My second time around here, great site and better people. I am back because I lost focus). Good luck!

I count them and allow myself 3 pieces a day which is 15 calories and 6 grams of carbs. The reason I started is that before I rationed my intake I estimate that I was chewing 8-10 pieces (40-50 calories) a day.

Hi Sarah - I did this site once before with great success but then completely fell off the wagon – it can work, just be honest with your food and exercise entries. People on the site are great for support. We are all in this together. Mark

I am in - I plan to be down 25 lbs by April 4th! I will friend you right now - thanks for setting this up.

Hey bienlunee - I used this site with great success and then fell off the wagon. I am back for 2011 to make this stick. We can all get better through hard work!

Bumping to learn more myself

Struggled a little over the weekend so I did not get day 3 of week 5 in until yesterday. But I amde it and it is a 20 minute run with no breaks. Did not think I could do it but was able to do it all. For someone who has never been a runner I think I am starting to get hooked. On to week 6 Saturday!

To make it "click" you are going to have to want it. By coming to MFP you are showing a commitment which is a great start. I recommend planning your day (exercise and meals) ahead of time so it becomes part of your routine. Keep in mind this is not a sprint so while you want mini goals for weight loss milestones the focus…

Welcome to MFOP- I think you will really like it. If you are willing to do the work the pounds will drop off - most people I have talked to see a quick drop than hit a wall for a while then see another drop. If that happend don't give up - this is not a sprint!

So far this week completed 2 of the three sessions for week 5 - have to get one more in this weekend. Did one week on a treadmill - that was easier than over the road so whenever possible I am going to stay on the road to get the most out of my effort. Keep at it everyone - you will enjoy it more as you progress.

I am in week 4 (doing day 3 tomorrow) and while I have never been a runner I enjoy it. It gets tougher each week but I feel great when I complete my run for the day. I use an app on my iTouch that simply announces when to run/walk over my music. If you have a Touch or iPhone I recommend that. I am a little concerned when…

Finished at 160 ounces - great work everyone!!:drinker:

While I am ahead of the group I thought I would stay in touch on this anyway to keep me going! I completed Week 4 Day 2 this morning and thought I was going to die. The last run was a killer but I fought through and did it. Everyone doing this stick with it you will be amazed at what you can do if you push yourself. I…
