You can certainly do it and if you make the right changes you can enjoy a healthier you for the rest of your life! Welcome to mfp!

To meet the one with whom I can share the rest of my life.

Based on my experience in losing 30 lbs and maintaining for 2 years now; Log everything you eat consistently and accurately and be very patient. Most importantly don't focus on the changes you make to your eating, focus on living life. The changes to your diet will naturally and gradually result in reaching your goal and…

SW - 182 lbs. CW - 149 lbs. GW - 155 lbs. H - 6' Age - 57

Fantastic and congratulations on setting a personal record, that takes perseverance!

You can do it! Add some friends for motivation and never look back!

The difference is incredible! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

Congratulations, it doesn't take large changes to make a difference but it does require patience and consistency. Keep up the great job!

Like Momto3 I moved with my wife and child to NC from CT 21 years ago. We knew no one in NC at all. In some ways it was nice to escape some of the extended family drama but there are also times of missing those you love. As both my wife's parents grew ill and passed it meant a lot of travel for her to spend time with them…

Honestly I think we get spoiled by digital connections being so fast that when something takes more than an instant to load we think consider it slow.

Although I started out mostly to reduce to what I felt was a better weight, the increased self-confidence and self-empowerment to make changes in my personal life now provide more motivation.

There is nothing wrong with the disgust if you use it as motivation to change. Do one thing like eliminating soft drinks or something and stick with that and then add another change. You can do it, if you want it bad enough.

That is the first I have heard of it but then I am a dinosaur. Let me check it out.

I never would have thought 14 lbs. would be so noticeable but it certainly is! Great job and keep up the great work!

There are lots and lots of people who have used MFP successfully. I am maintaining now almost 18 months. Good luck to you both! Just be patient and stick with it.

And welcome to mfp. As an older guy with a sedentary job I want to say this can work for you if you are patient and stay with it! I never thought I would be able to lose once I was over 50 years old but sure enough I did. Best of luck to you!

In a commercial jet liner. A very humbling experience :-(

You can do it, make small changes and stick with them and love on that baby while you have the chance!

Go shopping and hit some good sales........lol

Just a big WOW, congratulations!

That is truly the best way, small changes and stick to them. Best of luck to you! You can do it and are worth the effort!

Adding friends can help with motivation. As far as feeling hungry, the advice from the previous posters all looks good.

Wouldn't you want someone to let you know?

This is a fantastic tool and I encourage you to add friends that can support you through comments and just knowing they are also facing the same challenges. Good luck!

That's incredible! I would not have thought 25 lbs. would make that kind of difference, congratulations!!!

I like about 15 - 20. Really, a dozen who are close makes this so much more enjoyable but that's just me. Good luck to you!

This app makes it easy. Complete your profile and log your food daily and the weight will come off. Be patient, it is not a diet, but a changing of your eating habits. It works, I am 57 and lost 30 pounds over a year.

I would hardly believe it possible if you hadn't posted pics, amazing!

That is an amazing story, I can't thank you enough for sharing it!
