  • Welcome! I think you will be as amazed as I was once I started journaling at how much food I was eating that I truly didn't need...now I eat when I am hungry, and in smaller portions, and I am just as satisfied and feel a whole lot better about myself! Good luck to you!

  • Welome! If you follow the plan and stay dedicated to journaling, you will be successful...it has been working for me for the last 3 months, and I am never hungry while the weight keeps coming off...good luck to you!

  • Welcome - you are not alone, and this site will prove it to you...I was over 300 pounds at my heaviest, and this program does't cost me a cent...in fact, it probably puts money back into my pocket because I am so much more conscious of what and when I am eating...hang in there, and anytime you need a shoulder, reach out to…
  • Welcome back! (Sort of anyway...) I find this app on my iPhone makes it possible to stay accountable to myself even when I'm traveling, that's why I love it - everyone is very friendly and the motivation is greatly appreciated from everyone.
  • Welcome! This site has been great - been on here for about 3 months and have steadily been gaining ground on my goals...got a little side-tracked myself this last week with my normal exercise routine, but plan on getting back on the treadmill (or just walking now that the weather is nicer!) this week...good luck to you!
  • We all have frustrations when it comes to body image and weight loss...I have gained and lost 100's of pounds over my lifetime, and after losing 70 pounds 5 years ago, gained it all back (and then some) when I "gave up" because it was too hard to continue...so here I am again, now with 110 pounds to lose, and even then I…
  • Welcome! I have travel job as well, not quite as demanding as yours sounds, but close...I also live in Florida (near Tampa) and so much of the lifestyle here involves being outside so much you feel like you have no choice but to look good...this is a great place for the support you need and the tools you have to have to be…

  • Welcome aboard! Congrats on your incredible success - please keep us posted on your continued progress!
  • Welcome! Congrats on the great work so far...I just started again (for like the 15th time in my life) in January, and using this tool has helped me drop 17 pounds...I couldn't be happier, even when I want to kick myself for not being smart enough to realize that there are no quick fixes or easy-way-outs to long term weight…
  • Welcome! This is the application I have needed for years after failing every attempt at food journaling...if I can do it on my iPhone it gets done...good luck to you and those you help!
  • Welcome! Great news that you found this gem...I finally caved in to the calorie counting/ food diary plan after years of trying to find a "quick" fix....it doesn't exist, and I kick myself for wasting all those years yo-yoing up and down with every fad diet that came along...I have a lot of ground to cover, so I applaud…
  • Congratulations! Thank you for posting this - I have a long way to go for my ultimate goal as well, and it is so encouraging to know others have success on this program - keep up the great work and please keep posting your progress - I need all the inspiration I can get!
  • Congrats! You are an inspiration to someone like me with a long way to go still - thanks for posting your success!
  • Welcome aboard! Here's wishing you a speedy recovery! Stay commited to the long term goals this program teaches and you will do great - it was hard for me to realize the foolishness of fad diets until I realized how often I found myself right back where I started a few months after losing weight...the only truth about…
  • Welcome aboard! Remind yourself daily (or let the community here at MFP help you!) that this is a long-term commitment not to just losing weight but improving your life style...good luck!
  • Welcome! Like you, this "ain't my first rodeo" with weight loss, but it is the common sense approach to long term change...everyone has been shouting it from the rooftops for years that fad diets don't work, I finally listened...glad you are here too. Good luck!

  • I've mixed it with a nice spicy brown mustard to give it a little kick...

  • I lost over 70 pounds doing the Atkins plan 5 years ago...then thought I was okay to going back to my old habits when my life hit a stressful period...now here I am, starting over again...this time I have set a more ambitious goal, and am not doing a radical dietary change like Atkins ever again...counting calories earned…
  • Welcome and good luck!!
  • I find that if I deny myself something I end up cheating and eating it anyway, then the guilt puts me off the whole diet idea...better to indulge (in a controlled way!) than to end up derailing your whole plan...
  • Welcome aboard! The folks on this site are really great - always posting encouraging news and offering advice...I have been on board since January and have already lost 13 pounds...this works because it is common sense...you eat less than you burn and you lose weight...just be sure that you stay focused and you will do…
  • Oh my goodness...thank you for the inspiration...I have about 120 pounds to lose, and your achievement is awesome...keep up the great work and keep us posted!
  • Obviously they weren't familiar with current events...sheesh... Oh well, for those of us who saw it and laughed - thanks! :)
  • Welcome! Sounds like you have a plan! That's great - keep us posted on your achievements! Good luck!!
  • Welcome - I'm in Florida too - and that means we spend way too much time in summer clothes not to look good! :) I have a long journey ahead to reach my goals, but like you, I have to do it to avoid my genetic legacies (CHF, diabetes, etc)...here's wishing you all the best!
