Congrats! You look great!

Congratulations on your hard work and determination! You look great!

Welcome to mfp. My daughter actually joined mfp when she was a college student. You can work the plan using your meal plan in the dining hall. Try to stick with lean proteins, green vegetables, and salad. I know there are quite a few unhealthy choices but you can make wise choices and have the socialization that you need.…

Congrats for realizing that you didn't have to give up! I am not even close to being successful, but I am so glad that mfp is there for me and you. Take care.

Great job! The weight loss is great, but I want to say congrats on quitting smoking! That really took a great deal of determination!:smile:

Congrats! You both look great! I truly wish I had a support system like the two of you have! Keep that friendship strong!

Congrats on your hard work and dedication. I have been needing to get back on track and decided to read success stories. You are proof that it can be done! Thank you for sharing!

Congrats on your success and the beautiful smile on your face!

Congrats on your weight loss. I am glad that you found something that works for you. That is what we all want. I wish you the best of luck.:smile:

You have done excellent! The now picture just needs a smile on your face.:smile:

I am an emotional eater. I have been overweight most of my life. I used my size to keep people away from me. I have gained and lost various amounts over the years--anywhere from 20 to 70 pounds. I can lose it, but they some thing happens that I don't feel that I can control and gain all the weight back plus more. My…

Feel free to add me.

That is great! Have the staff show you the correct way to use the equipment. Don't overdo. Let us know how you do with the new start.

Thanks for the laughs! This thread was really funny. My question is do you want to get laid or do you want a relationship?

I agree with this. He was probably hoping that you would mention it to your girlfriend to get a response from her now that she has moved on. He was hoping that your commenting to her would make her jealous and would get her back since his attention was to another one of her friends. I simply would have unfriended him and…

Log whatever you consume. You will be surprised how many calories are in some alcoholic drinks. You may need to workout to burn some of those calories. Remember that everyone's metabolism is different so don't plan on your body reacting the same as others to alcohol.

There are diabetic groups on mfp. You can search it under groups. I am a diabetic and it is part of who I am. Unfortunately I have other problems so I don't want to dwell on one. I want to be healthier. Good luck.

The holiday season can be a season for depression. It is easy to want to stay inside and eat comfort foods. Don't give up. Start small by logging food and water or taking a walk indoors if necessary. You are not alone. It is time to start again. Slow and steady wins the race. Take care. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Congrats! Thanks for sharing your you achieved your success. Hope you continue to be successful on your journey.:smile:

There are other free sites and other ways I can record what I eat. Now I can ignore weird comments on the forum, but wouldn't pay to read it when some of them get on a roll. Why are you asking?

Inspiring! You accomplished your goal and look great! Thanks for sharing!

This! It will not end well.

I am past this stage. I will say that I actually lost weight with my last pregnancy eating what I wanted and taking my vitamins. I noticed that another member posted a similar topic. You might want to friend her--Merrs1981. Good luck.

You look great! You have a goal and you are achieving it! Congrats!

Congrats! You look great!

Congrats on making the choice. Keep your hands busy and stay away from the refrigerator. When I get bored, I want to look inside and then I want to eat. You can do it!

Let it go! Tomorrow get some walking in and try to eat healthy. Don't know how many calories you are supposed to eat but aim for healthy choices. It is only one day.

Congrats on your achievement!

You look great! Love the dark color denim on you. Keep up the good work!

Great job! The pics look great! Keep up the good work!
