Good job! What a difference. Your baby is beautiful.

Hi, I am kind of new to this site but I am sure hooked! I have been counting calories on MFP since July 1st. I have lost 13 pounds. I also really enjoy reading about other peoples successes. I would love to be one of your supports, friend request me if you would like.

Hi back from Utah. Yes, losing weight does suck. If you look at other members profiles you can see a lot of success. This is the place to be to lose weight and get support. Friend request me, I would love to be one of your supports.

Welcome to MFP. This is an awesome website with amazing people to support you. Use the calorie counter and the people here on the website to help with ideas, suggestions and support. I also wanted to tell you that my doctor told me that what you eat can sometimes be more important than exercise. They go hand in hand but…

Isn't it amazing how the calories add up? I have been so surprised. Honesty about what we put in our mouth is really important. We can lie to ourselves about what we eat but in the end our body will always know. Keep up the good work! Friend request me if you would like.

I am heading into surgery for a total knee replacement (at 40) and have some experience with trying to find exercies I can do with bad knees. Maybe you are going to have to settle for slow and steady like yoga, walking, biking, and swimming. I know they are not as strenuous as running but it sounds as though your running…

Even if you can't beat your husband, you will surely be able to compete. You can do it! We have about the same amount of weight to lose. Friend request me if you would like.

You look amazing. I also love the profile picture of your dog! You should feel so proud of yourself for your accomplishment. You inspire me!!!!!

I also have lost 13 lbs and a few people have noticed. I still have 50-60 lbs to go but hey we have made a great start, don't you think? I also feel like I have lost a lot more. I just "feel" better. Cheers for us! :drinker:

You can do this. If you look at a lot of the MFP members, they have lost weight. It IS possible. I agree with you that it needs to be a lifestyle change, not just a "diet". Going on a "diet" causes us to lose and then gain all the weight back plus more. We are all here for you! Friend request me if you would…

Add me as a friend. I have lost 13 lbs but would like to lose another 60. It is daunting to look at the whole 60 so I am making small goals like losing a total of 25lbs by September 1st, that's 12 more pounds. You can do it and there are many motivating, supportive people on this website to help you!

I also would like to be "called out" if I mess up. I don't always want that "it's ok, tomorrow you'll do better". I want "why did you eat that? It isn't good for you and you are delaying your weight loss"

Welcome to MFP. You are in the right place if you want to lose weight, make friends, and feel supported. You CAN do it! Friend request me if you would like. I would love to be a support to you.

I use slimfast and have lost 13 lbs in 28 days. I know at some point I will have to eat normal meals, but I want to lose 20 lbs by September and thought it might be a good way to start and it has been.

I would love to be your friend. I also have a "sweet tooth" and that is a hard thing to control! Friend request me :flowerforyou:

Don't be down on yourself. It sounds as though you have had a tough few years. Using the calorie counter you could track your calories and be aware of what you are eating. The eating (unfortunatly) can be difficult. But you can do it! Just take one day at a time. Don't look at all the weight you need to lose, just set…

Good job! Way to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Losing weight and keeping it off is truly a "lifes work". We can't go back to how we ate when we gained weight. We have to make lifestyle changes and keep them forever! :grumble: We can do it!!!!

I have lost 13 lbs. and I have noticed I have more energy. I haven't walked much due to a knee problem but when I do I feel like I'm not as "heavy". I feel lighter! Believe me, I have a lot more to lose but anything is a start. Keep walking. It will get better.

Hi, I used to live in Portland. I miss it sometimes. I now live in Utah, and the saying here is "wait 5 minutes or drive 5 miles and the weather will be different". Welcome to MFP. I have been using the calorie counter for 27 days and have lost 13 lbs. I have some more to lose but that is a great start. I would love to be…

Congratulations on your weight loss. I have lost 13 lbs in 27 days using the calorie counter on MFP. This is an awesome site!

I worship ice cream. Yes the Skinny Cow ice cream bars are great!

Congratulations on your decision to get fit! This is an awesome website to help you with your goal. Friend request me if you would like.

Hi, I am also 40 and I want this decade of my life to be fantastic....The 30's weren't so great (read my profile). I have lost 13 pounds since July 1st using the calorie counter. This is an amazing website with fantastic people on it. Friend request me if you would like.

What a great idea! Another yummy treat is frozen grapes. They get sweeter in the freezer.

I agree, diets don't work. We can't change our eating and lose weight and then expect to be able to go back to eating the old way after. It just won't work. Life style change is what works.It helps us inside and out. I will never DIET again. But I will continue to lose weight (12.5 lbs so far) by watching what I eat.

Welcome.... I am also trying to lose about 60 lbs. I have already lost 12.5 lbs. (so I started out needing to lose about 70 lbs). At first it seems overwhelming but when you see that other people have done it and lost more, it really seems possible. Friend request me if you would like.

MFP is awesome! I have lost a pound every 2 days this month (down 12.5 lbs) using this website and the calorie counter. It really keeps me accountable. Friend request me if you would like.

Hi Serena, welcome to MFP. I think you will find the support you need here on this site. Keep up the good work with the changes you have made. Feel free to friend request me.

Welcome to MFP. I have lost 12.5 lbs in 24 days! I love MFP. It has everything I need to help me stay on track and lose weight. Feel free to add me as a friend. We are close to the same age.
