It's a HUGE help in seeing what your eating and being accountable to yourself. Feel free to add me, I'm on daily.

Feel free to add me. I'm 47 have lost over 80 pounds, still 20 to go. Eating at 1500 daily. On here every single day~

I have the Ninja also, and love it. MUST remember ^^^^this^^^^ Cutting up those onions are murder!

Me too!! 1/10/66

YEA! Found my twin.

Gay Lynn, my friend I am THRILLED your ex has offered such an amazing 'gift'! You can do SO MUCH good with that amount of money... Also, with so many things you can make for the boys, the coupon book is an awesome idea. Baking them something special and wrapping it... I am thrilled by ALL the awesome suggestions! It's…

So utterly and completely THRILLED for you both! You've been a great MFP pal. Watching you as a runner I can only strive to get anywhere near your success! Over the moon with JOY for both of you. And being a grandparent myself, there is nothing that tops it! Congrats Dan & Staci! I LOVE seeing ALL the success stories! I'm…

^^^^DITTO^^^^ I'm 46. May 31st had the classic AHA Moment. I was 46 yrs, 4 months & 21 days. I have lost 71 pounds since. At least 30 more pounds to go. I decided I was WORTH IT! Been 'fat' for 21 years of my 22 year marriage...NOT ANYMORE! As has been mentioned by most everyone before me. Good, clean. sensible eating. And…

^^^this^^^ I am only in my 5th month of my lifestyle change. I have never belonged to a gym(I'm 46). I LOVE my gym and all the classes I take. I won't do the treadmill etc, when I can be outdoors walking/jogging. Through this and a major shift in 'what I eat' I have lost 66 pounds since June 1st, so it's working well for…

Hang on a minute: RAW nuts & seeds are a healthy snack. NOT salted in-shell seeds or nuts, they have MASSIVE amounts of sodium. Not good for you! Chewing gum with fresh brushed teeth in between meals/snack DOES help along with drinking water. Healthy snacks: *1/4 cup of humus along with a half dozen baby carrots & some…

God bless you! Priceless reminder...I applaud you and YOUR insightfulness...Sounds like you are ON TRACK to git 'er done! You CAN do it!!

^^^YES^^^ I agree! I would love MORE friends like YOU BOTH! I have been on here 80 days today. My lifestyle change has been nothing short of a miracle to me! My transformation started 5/31/12. Never before 'dieted' and now still NOT ON A diet. Just making very good choices and I also indulge in a bite of chocolate, or a…

^^^^ I've gotta say one thing to you...You ARE BEAUTIFUL. period. Now, do ALL these amazing things BECAUSE YOU ARE WORTH IT! Not because you "want to be" beautiful. You already are. I say this out of love for my fellow MFP sister! We women tend to beat ourselves up and say, "Oh, I want to be.....beautiful, skinny,…

PHENOMENAL job!! Way to go, getting your life BACK!! Such a HUGE accomplishment and one to be utterly and completely proud of! Love your story and appreciate you sharing it! I'm right there with you doing it myself (only I/m a wee bit older) yet, thrilled to have the classic AHA Moment! And make the change. I love MFP and…

I would add that while egg whites are less calories, there is a LOT of good vitamins in egg yolks. They are packed with Vitamin A & D, B Vitamins...check out this link for the low down on eggs. http://www.livestrong.com/article/276142-the-vitamins-in-an-egg-yolk/ I raise chickens, so I have an endless supply of non-caged,…

^^^So true^^^ Makes me sad to see the kudos and not the realization that her 'eating style' is unhealthy.

IF you want to LOSE weight you are NOT suppose to eat back ANY of your exercise calories. I have sought out a professional to work with to ensure I am going about my lifestyle change the best I can. I have lost 59 pounds with 41 to go. I was eating half my exercise calories back until meeting said Nutritionist. My…

I'm a Mom of 3... 26, 20, 14 and Gramma to 2! I can chase after them as well as anyone...(now) Losing almost 60 pounds(40 more to go) & MANY inches has helped a bit. Like mentioned by SO many, getting fit, losing the weight, I feel better than I did in my 30's!

Touche' .... me too! 46 IS older, but I am feeling younger than I have in years with the weight loss and getting fit. Go get 'em tiger!

Agreed! Mind boggling at just how many calories are in restaurant foods and you'd think 'salad' = good for you! So many menus anymore have the calories listed. I rarely eat out, but I sure do watch the calories. Especially when one item can be your whole count for one day!

Active, daily member. Happy to help encourage & support YOU! Add me if you would like~

^^^^^YES^^^^

^^^^^that^^^^ holy COW!! And you survived! Yea~

I am VERY active on here daily! I log everything....ANYONE on this feed can feel free to friend request me. I am all about offering my support, it's a huge comfort knowing there is someone ELSE out there needing the same encouragement as me! We're each others cheerleaders! Good luck!

^^^^ This ^^^^^ Got to fill your body with whole foods. It's a mindset, you have to WANT the change to make it happen. Good luck!

Like all these previous comments I agree. It's pretty easy to 'estimate' on a spoonful of beans, was it a 1/4C or 1/2C size, for example. Salad...1C - 2C or ?? You can get pretty darn close by putting in these items, MFP has a vast data base. And even IF you err of the low side, you're doing an amazing job overall and you…

This ^^^^ oh ya!

Oh, I would have LOVED to see that one too!
