Thanks for asking! I first started at 1380 and I just couldn't keep it up. I was starving!!! I am losing at 1800 and am actually satisfied but was wondering if I would keep losing. Thanks for the post got a lot of good answers

Wow! Amazing results. You are beautiful! Thanks for sharing :)

I feel the same about adding MFP to my routine and found it gave me just a little more that ww online did not. I left ww online and have been doing MFP strictly; However, I feel like I still need ww so I am attending meetings. I am currently fighting with myself whether or not to fork over almost 50 bucks a month to…

Food is my drug. I know I am supressing some deep emotion and now that my stress level is high I can't seem to stop myself from eating or thinking about what I am going to eat.

I am a food addict. I use food to deal with everything/anything. I am recently separated and have just had the most difficult time controlling my addiction. I have been overweight my entire life - some points of my life I was heavier than others but I can't ever say I was thin. Maybe just thinner. I am not at my heaviest…

Me too!!! I don't have the physical pain but believe I will if I continue on this road. I have been using food to treat my emotional pain forever. I am 40 now and am sad that so much time has passed and I have been relatively thin, meaning thin for my body, for only about 5 months of my entire life. Anyway, I haven't made…

Gives me hope and makes me happy to see another woman, wife,mother happy and healthy. I hope to travel the same road. Having a really hard time getting past my horrible marriage and can't even imagine love coexisting with happiness but apparently it does!!! Thanks for sharing - I can see a little light at the end of the…

Wow - to everything - your success, your strength- just your beautiful self - inside and out!!!! You make my troubles seem trivial and inspire me greatly. Thank you.

Really amazing - I can't even imagine the dedication it takes!!! BTW you are very pretty and I get a really nice vibe from your post - you seem very nice and down to earth!!! Great job. I don't know if I could ever get that far but One day maybe.... either way you are a huge inspiration and ur abs are amazing!!!

Hi Amber, Welcome. I posted this in my "Hi I'm new to the group" post so please forgive if anyone has read it already butI wanted to share. I believe I have had PCOS since an early age or at least the hormonal aspect as I matured really quickly as a child, had facial hair since I can remember, extreme acne as a teen and…

Hi Josh, Congrats on taking the first step and for taking control fo your life while you are young. It only gets more difficult as you get older so if you can do it now I say go for it!!! I am really motivated by MFP and all the people I have encountered. Hope the same is true for you and I hope I can send some motivation…

You guys look fantastic!! Great job and I think it's really sweet that you did it together.

Thanks :)

Really great job! You are very inspiring to me as I am adopted as well and I know it has played a huge factor in my life-long weight issues as well as many of the bad decisions I made for myself. But all is well that ends well and I hope to be able to post my "made it" pic one day too. Thanks again for sharing.

Good luck to you. I had a rough start since 8/08 and plan to re-start tomorrow. Feel free to add me. I would love to make some new friends out here!

Dear PCOS Sisters, There is definitely hope. I was diagnosed with PCOS after trying for a second child after my first son was born in 1998. Fast forward 13 years of trying metformin, IVF, two failed pregnancies, one actually ending up being implanted on my ovary and requiring a laparotamy ( basically a c-section type cut)…

Hi all, Just turned 40 and started childrearing all over again. I have a 15 year old and a 20 month old. I have always struggled with my weight but have always been able to diet and lose...... that is until now. I don't know if it is the age or late mommyhood, but something has got to give!! I refuse to give in. They say…
