Welcome from a non-competitive, once high school swim team, swimmer! This program is working great for me!

Welcome - you'll LOVE MFP! Good luck on your journey and feel free to friend me.

If his opinion holds any weight - Dr. Oz says workout before you eat so that you are burning off the old fat/carbs first thing. I always workout first, weigh in, than eat breakfast.

Welcome Miss Kitty, Careful - it's very addicting! Best of luck in your journey!

Welcome - friend request comin' your way.

Me too. Get the metabolism going early and the early morning weigh-ins are better for the ego! :)

Trust me - it happens BEFORE 50! :)

Welcome. I understand and I'm there for you. Feel free to send a friend request.

Nice note. Thanks A-Rod!

Welcome and good luck. It's worked wonders for me and I have found using it addictive.

Good to know - thanks!

I was a junk food-a-holic myself and after 5-6 weeks the cravings are gone and the will power is strong. I just select one sweet that has some redeeming quality... Lucky Charms. But due to sugars, only partake 2-3 mornings/week. I have no problems passing on chips, candy, soda, etc.

I am a firm believer in mixing it up - it's supposed to be better for your muscles to keep them guessing! A good morning workout gets your metabolism kicked in gear, so don't be afraid to work it!

Best of luck with your new plan and continued recovery. This site and the apps are life savers!

The site, community, and smart phone apps are a God send!

Thank you all!

I've sent you a request. Welcome, and I'm happy to lend support where I can! Absolutely love the iPhone app myself and can't seem to put my phone down at times!

Looks like a great resource - thanks for the tip!

Thanks for all the positive comments. On the upside, I've inspired some old friends to get into shape!
