Feel free to encourage new girls! You can do it! I'm a mom, married with 3 kids. Rid of 15 lbs and 5 more to go for my first goal.

Wow! You look fabulous and love your story. Thanks for inspiration to keep going!

I guess posting the pic was harder since it didn't work! oh well!:smile:

Thanks for posting! Love this...I weigh every day too but don't enter...will now Love those reports!

I usually try to stick to net but if I am hungry on some days I will eat back some of the exercise calories. This is a debated topic on MFP! I'm in this for life so I have tortoise wins race mentality. There are days when I'm just not that hungry then days when I'm starving.

Now that is funny!

Hmmm top 5... 1) little gem coconut donuts 2) donuts of any kind 3) pastries 4) sweet breads 5) chocolate (if its in the freezer I'm OK...I think there is a jar of nutella I threw in the back of it one night at 11:30 pm...cold chocolate is not good chocolate to me!)

Wow great insight here. First of all it is great that you reached out for help. Feel free to friend me and I'll encourage you. I started in this journey in May. May and June were challenging. For me logging my food...all if it...the good, the bad and the ugly was key. I opened my diary and read others nightly to see what…

Lots of comments here with interesting insight! I just started a new job as a lunch lady. Part of the perk of the job is that you get free lunch! The first day each person said wow you brought your lunch. I explained I was watching my weight and one commented oh we all are too! Then she commented bringing my lunch was…

I log every day! Congrats on your loss that is fabulous!

Feel free to friend me. I'm on my last 6 lbs to meet my first goal...will encourage and love a little back!

Welcome to MFP community. It has totally been what has helped me to stick with it. I was at all time heaviest this June. Been working daily...one day at a time..some better than others...but I pick myself up and keep going. I'm committed to this for a lifetime. I realize food is my thorn. I have to log and exercise...I can…

Hi! We have the same cry fest in common! Mine was in June when my son took a picture of me for our anniversary. I started getting serious with MFP after that and lost 14 lbs as of today! I can not believe it really. If I can do this girl...you can too! What I needed was the community. I knew all the right stuff to…

Yes can do it with out living at the gym! About 5 years ago I joined a group and trained for sprint triathalons. I was in the best shape of my life yet my personal life at home suffered. I gave it up and packed the lbs back on. Finally this spring, I decided no more. I'm not going to do this battle any more. I'm done and…

Oh total bump! Can't wait to try!

Congratulations! Awesome work and commitment!

Feel free to friend me. I applaud you for wanting to make your goal at 30! You can do it. I've fallen off the wagon many times....it's the getting back up that counts! You can do it!

Welcome to the community part! Found great support here. Congrats on your loss! that is fabulous!

Well said and great goals! Now if you can get my hubbie off Diet Mt. Dew I would be so grateful!
