Thanks, these are words we can all use on our life journey no matter the path we have chosen.

Thanks for sharing...we all face those same emotions and it is truly how we allow them to affect us that makes the difference!

This has been the best program for me, too. It encourages me to really look at what I eat and how much exercise I get everyday. There is something about logging the foods and exercise that keeps me on the straight and narrow. I also love the fact that there is an app for my smartphone that makes it easy to log in when…

Wonderful outlook. So glad that you have not let the roadblocks stop your journey. Good luck in your new endeavors. Stay strong.:flowerforyou:

If you have a a smart phone and the MFP app., you can find almost every big name restaurant or food category with the calorie count. It is also so helpful to be able to add the foods immediately rather than trying to remember what you ate when you get home.

Good Luck on your journey and it is a journey. This has been a wonderful tool to use along the way. I have used diets, supplements, etc. and have NEVER has the success (28 lbs in 130+ days) I have had with MFP. Hope you find it to be true for you, too.

Thank you for some very uplifting words.

Wow, you look great!!! Good job and the unexpected results are sometimes the most surprising and rewarding!!!:smile:

Great job...you are definitely right about this being a lifestyle change. Every day is a challenge but with the great support from MFP it really keeps me focused. Agree with the mobile Android!!! I love being able to eat out and record my food choices right on the spot. No more trying to remember what I ate when I get back…

Absolutely!!! Keep up the great work.

I think the '"plateau" is the most difficult part of loosing weight. We get stuck and then discouraged. I have found that just staying focused on your eating and exercise seems to be the way to go. Also don't forget the WATER!!!

Congratulations to both of you for starting on your new life. Your husbands will be so pleased when the see the "new you". There are so many things on the website that make this such a fun journey.

Good Luck on your journey and welcome to the MFP community. Would love to add you as a friend.

Oh yes, chocolate in any form. I gave up chocolate for Lent this year and it was hard. Now, however, I don't have the craving I had before I went without it. :smile:

This is a mental and physical challenge for all of us. You are not alone. Do not give up on yourself...your goals are just down the road. Stick to your goals and know that there are many of us out here experiencing the same challenges.:flowerforyou:

1. 67 2. Pear 3. Oh yes, the diet and exercise have helped me lose inches not just weight!!!

I, too, am having problems eating all my calories. I always seem to have calories left at the end of the day but when I look at the diary I'm out of fats, and sugars, so what is left to eat???? It seems a shame to just eat to fill in the calories. I am trying to remember to eat more snacks during the day to help. Need some…

Awesome job...just stay with the plan and you will succeed.

I just got into my "motivational jeans"....time to buy a NEW pair. Been waiting 2 years to get into those jeans.

It has happened to me too. I have been at the same weight for about 2 weeks. Eating right, watching calories, doing cardio but still not moving down on the scales. Today I finally dropped 1.5 pounds!! This is the longest that I have been stalled so I guess it is just your body adjusting to the changes.

We all need to stop and give THANKS to all of those brave men and women who gave their lives for the freedom we enjoy.

That is soooo awesome!!! You are an inspiration to all of us on the journey to a new YOU! Thanks and keep it up.

You look amazing! You should be so proud of yourself for the job you have done. I would definitely donate the clothes to a nonprofit...there is always a need somewhere in your community.:smile:

That happened to me when I first started...so frustrating. It took several weeks before everything kicked in and I saw a loss. Stay with it and keep focused on your goals.

That's awesome. It's nice to reach our goals but even better to reach them earlier than planned!!!!!

That is a beautiful quote.
