It IS a great place to start. Just log in your food and exercise, and make some friends along the way! :) I've been on here about 5 weeks, and it's really held me accountable, which I needed. Good luck!

Welcome aboard! This is a great website, but warning.......it's addictive! ;) My dietician recommended this website for me. That was about 5 weeks and 16 lbs ago. Stick with it!

You look wonderful!!!!! Your face is so thin!!! Where did the double chin go? That's my biggest complaint on me.........the double chin.

Cogratulations!!!!!! You look amazing!!!!

Some small jeans that make my *kitten* look good.

I've been on here for about three weeks. Logging the food has really helped me. I lost 11 lbs. the first two weeks. Now the scale has been stuck for the past several days. I'm trying to not get discouraged........I've heard that this is normal, and I just need to "stick with it". Good luck! BTW......my dietician…

My Mom was a compulsive eater.......and so was her mother.........and so am I. I was a skinny, popular, 10 year old when Mom (42 and obese) died of a heart attack. Within a year, we moved across the country, Dad married a b*tch who chopped my hair off, and abused me, and I was the new kid in school. I never was taught how…

I squated down to sit on a stepstool.....and had to have help up! As for biking. I got a bike for my 40th birthday (I'm 42 now), I managed to ride it ONE mile. My legs hurt and were trembling. I don't get it. Maybe I had it in the wrong gear or something. I did do the arm work tonight, and plan to try walking again…

I would love to do some swimming or water aerobics...........but this small town doesn't have a public pool after summer. No YMCA......our local college even recently closed their pool to the public.

I appreciate all of the advice!!! Will be doing some arm work before I go to bed! lol
-
I've "finished" my physical therapy, and you're right........he did give me some exercises. But, only exercises to strengthen my knee.

YOU are so stinkin cute! Congratulations!!!!!

I'm so sorry that happened to you. I've had surgery two times in the last two months, and received cards signed by everyone both times. I am the treasurer, that might be the difference. If your feelings have been hurt, you need to let them know.

Hi Angela! We're the same age, but that's all I know. You need to fill out your biography so we can learn more about you! ;) I have about 100 lbs to lose. I'm under the care of a dietician, and am counting carbs to keep my eating under control. My sister is getting married in February, and I'm the matron of honor.......so…

First of all, I want to extend my deepest condolences on the loss of your child. I've been throught it, and it's awful in a different way for each and every one of us. ((((HUGS)))) It will happen for you when it's time. I have two boys. :) I've only been on here for about two weeks, and have been behaving myself for about…

Congratulations on taking this first step! Have you checked with yoour doctor for advice? My doctor sent me to a dietician, and she has been wonderful. She led me to MFP. We decided that I just don't have the discipline to count calories..........so I count carb grams instead Also, in addition to logging my food in here,…

Well I think you did a GREAT job of handling the situation!
-
I think you've done a wonderful job so far! Your face is so thin! I'm jealous (I carry my weight in my face).
-
You look wonderful!!!! Would you mind telling us how you did it?
-
How much did you lose your first month? I've been here for about a week, and I've lost 6 lbs. I agree, the success stories are a great motivational tool!
-
Welcome aboard!
-
I agree. Conseling should help.

Nursing school! Congratulations! You can obviously lose this weight since you've done it already before. Just try to avoid the stress eating!

Great job Doug!

WOOHOO! I look forward to the day when my Mii on the Wii Fit doesn't say "You're Obese".....and then bloats up!
-
Way to go!!!!
-
I'm sorry you had a bad experience. You should look for a different group. Even though they are they are a mostly more "mature" group, I love the ladies in our group. I'm our treasurer, and I collect $2 from each member per month. We pay a dime each week when we weight in, and pay an extra dime for each extra pound gained.…

I've found the logging every bite really helps. I not only log it in here, but I hand write it in a journal to..............what I'm eating, and how I'm feeling too.

My husband calls it Taking On Pounds Sociably. lol My best friend and I joined about a year ago. We only recently got serious, and have started competing with eachother. Right now we have a We "Autumn" Be Losing contest going on. It lasts for 6 weeks. There is a poster of a tree. Every week, you wright your name and weight…
