You can both feel free to add me. More support is always great motivation to keep going. :)

What a difference! Way to go!!

I'm 5'3" and my ultimate goal is to get down to 130lbs. But, I'd be happy between 130-140lbs. :) Feel free to add me. I'm always looking to support people throughout this journey. :)

Feel free to add me. I'm in the same boat! :) I could always use more supportive friends.

Feel free to add me. I log everyday even if it's a bad bad day (like today!). Always looking for more friends to inspire me to be better.

I want to smile more. My husband said that when I was thinner, I smiled more. The comment made me cry and woke me up at the same time. I want to be here to see my girls grow up. I would love to go shopping and have fun. Right now, it's complete torture to buy clothes for myself. I want to know what sexy feels like. I want…

I'm 40. Feel free to send me a friend request. The more support, the better :)

The Elliptical Machine that I purchased for home was around $1000-$1200 over 3 years ago. It's a Horizon model that I purchased from ****'s Sporting Goods. I love it and use it all the time. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll be able to find one under $500 unless it's used. Good luck!

Chicken Cutlets, Real NY Pizza, Chinese Food & Fast food!

I, personally, don't eat my work out calories back. I stick to a 1200-1250 calories intake per day.

I always weigh myself first thing in the morning on the same day every week. Your body changes too much during the week to do it every day. You will totally frustrate yourself. One day you may have too much sodium and are retaining water, etc. Once a week is the way to do it.

Welcome to MFP! You'll love it here! Very user friendly and lots of support! Feel free to send me a friend request. This journey is much more fun when friends are with you all the way! :) I'm always looking for friends for support and menu ideas. :)

Wow! Congratulations! You both look terrific! That beautiful smile on your wife's face says it all.

Happy Birthday!! I just turned 40 in June! :) You look wonderful!! What a success story! Keep going!! You can do it!!

It's always easier to lose weight with the support and encouragement of friends. Count me in! Anyone can feel free to add me. I'm new to this too. :)

I loved it! It really kept me honest and motivated. When I saw I wasn't burning enough calories, it made me move! I always had a goal to burn 1000 more calories per day then I ate. That way I was aiming for 2lbs/week weight loss. It really worked for me. If you get it, I'm here to help and motivate. :)

Hi Tamilynn! The Bodybugg is great but expensive! They use it on the Biggest Loser. It's an armband that you wear that calculates the amount of calories you burn in a day. Its a great tool.. especially when you are counting calories. I love it! It helped me to lose 54lbs! I'm hoping it'll help again! :)

Hi! I'm 5'3 and 40 years old. I just started this journey on June 28th and am down 6lbs 4oz as of this morning. My official weigh in isn't until Thursday though. lol Feel free to add me as a friend.. I'd love to get to know you all and go through this journey together. We can all do this!!!

It's one day in the life of... Just beat yourself up at the gym or a punching bag! Don't worry about what you can't change.. just get up, dust yourself off and start again! Believe it or not, sometimes it helps in the long run. Sometimes your body needs that jolt to start up your metabolism. So, if you don't lose this…

You can all feel free to add me too! :) I'm new to this site. I'm 40 years old, mother to two beautiful girls, 14 & 2, and happily married for almost 16 years. I also have a desk job and sit on my butt all day long. I live on Long Island and would love to make friends taking the same journey. Would love to get to know you…

I just joined as well. My name is Debbie and I just turned 40 in June. I have travelled this journey before with great success. Unfortunately, I gained it all back. I'm eating 1200 calories a day and trying to work out at least 3x per week until I can do more. Add me as a friend,it's always more fun if you do it together!…

It was breaded and there wasn't much ranch dressing. I found out that the fries are 380 calories themselves. I think I'm safe at 1000 calories. I'd rather over estimate than underestimate.

I am sooooo with ya!! lol

Thank you so much for the encouragement! I'm really motivated to get this weight off. My husband made a comment a few weeks ago that has really stuck with me. I was talking with my friend about when I lost the weight a few years ago and he said that I smiled more. Hearing that made me cry. I deserve to be happy and…

I love her DVDs. I used them years ago when I lost weight. They are fun and I feel great when I'm done. I just started this program a week ago and got some of her new ones. I can't wait to try them!!

HI! I also live in Lindenhurst. There are so many gyms in town, why Melville? I heard that the gym in the Outback shopping center is very reasonable and quite nice. I just started my weight loss journey a week ago. I'm down 4lbs so far. Only 56 more to go :). I don't belong to a gym but like to walk. I also use my Xbox…
