I'm always looking for supportive friends. The more the merrier! I can use all the support i can get!

Way to Go! Don't feel bad! I did the same thing as I was embarrassed to start jogging in my neighborhood too. Instead, I drove to the cemetery where my father-in-law is buried and ran around it every morning. No one there laughed and I finally got up the strength (and courage) to venture out in public. I ran my first 5k a…

Honestly??? I finally realized I was on a USS Enterprise, Warp Speed Ahead collision course with not being able to wipe my own *kitten*. A thought that was thoroughly revolting and finally woke me up to the fact that I had gotten out of control. Well, you asked! :o)

That's a lovely thougth but if there was a quick way to do it, we wouldnt need MFP :o(

I have the same issue! Hope someone has some answers....

You seriously need a new boyfriend. If he doesn't love you the way you are thru thick and thin (pun intended!) then he is just a shallow bum. No one needs a shallow bum. I agree with DayDreamr_41- the only weight you need to loose is him.

Awesome and inspiring post! thank you!

I was wondering the same thing about NSV! Thanks for asking! :o)

I still have a long way to go but i've lost 30lbs so far and i'm down two pants sizes! :o)

I just had my 30th High School reunion this past Saturday. Although I started MFP without that as an incentive, i had a lot more confidence at my reunion because i have lost 28 pounds in the past 2 months using MFP and adding in exercise. Please feel free to accept my friend request.

I log as I eat. It helps me decide what i'm going to eat and I don't feel locked in.

I'm 5'4" as well. i joined 6 weeks ago and i'm down 20lbs already. Just take it one day at a time! It works!!

I'm new too. I've come to realize over the past few weeks that i am a really impatient person! i want to have this weight off NOW! however, it is a waiting game (or as i like to think, a weighting game LOL). everytime i get discouraged, ive decided to go for a walk instead of eat or drink water, go play a card game,…

Nice job! I just signed up for my first 5k yesterday. I have about 6 weeks before it happens. I know i probably wont be able to jog the entire thing but i'm ok with jogging and walking. my goal is simply to finish. I figure it is only the beginning! :o)

So cool!

Thank you so much for your inspiration! I joined MFP about 6 weeks ago and went from a die-hard couch potato to walking. I am actually really enjoying walking and want to try running but i am scared that i wont be able to handle it with my weight and keep thinking i need to lose more before i try running. You have inspired…

Hi There! Welcome! I love MFP and i think you will too! Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like. I find that it is best to over estimate food if i'm unsure if the calorie amount is correct in MFP. I like using the barcode feature because it is usually accurate to the label (at least thats what i find). I also try…

I havent really given up anything that i really want to eat. if i want it i eat it. i adjust by using smaller portions or less at other meals. once in a blue moon i go over. If this is truly a life change, than you cant say you'll never eat something again or only eat lettuce for the rest of your life. I say make every day…

I've decided that the easiest thing I've done in life is gain weight. And I think the hardest thing is probably trying to lose it. You're doing a great job! Keep it up! My hardest obstacle is the "Weighting" Game. I'm not good at waiting and I'm not patient. I want the weight gone now!!! I just keep telling myself that…

And I thought I was the only one with this issue!! If nothing else, this string makes me not feel like I'm the only one!! Thanks so much and here's hoping for a "cure"!!!

Easiest thing I've ever done in life is gain weight. Now the tough part is losing it. I have about a 100 pounds to lose. MFP is the first tool i've evey ocme across that makes me feel like its a real possibility. Feel free to add me. I have very few friends and can use all the encouragement i can get!!
