Well it looks like Healthykt78 lives in a perfect world. We should all be so lucky.

Hi Kim, If I didn't know any better, I would have thought I was reading my own bio. We sound very much alike and have the same goals. Welcome to the site. I have been on for about 2 weeks now and love it. I have been using the food diary and have lost 4 pounds so far. Today I started exercising. I just finished "Valerie…

Tell your husband THANK YOU from me for what he is doing for our country. I will keep him and you in my prayers. Add me to your friends list.:smile: Chris

Great article. Thanks for the info. I will try it and see how it works.

Hi welcome to MFP. I just started MFP a couple of weeks ago and have lost 4 pounds. I have never tracked my calories before. I was shocked at how many calories I must have been consuming. At least now I know why I have gained so much weight. Tracking calories could not be any eaiser because everything I eat is in the…

Welcome to the site. It's a great place for support. Congratulations on loosing the six pounds. Sounds like you're on the right track. Brian Tracy says: Never consider the possibility of failure; as long as you persist, you will be successful----

I have always been a pretty healthy person. As a kid and most of my adult life I have never been sick. But now I have high cholesterol. My family has a history of strokes so my goal is to get my cholesterol and weight under control, because I want to live long enough to see my daughter grow up and have a family of her own.…

You look fabulous!

Hi ................I know what you're going thru. I've been trying for a long time to lose my weight, but instead I just keep gaining a little at a time. A lot of mine has to do with stress and the fact that I hate to exercise. But, I am determined that 2010 is going to be my year to lose. I only need to lose about 27…

We have 14 dogs, 4 house cats and several feral cats in the barn. Most of them are mixed breed muts that were adopted from the animal shelter. Sugar, Gage, Sweet Pea, Daisy Marie, Gracie Louise, Scruffy, Sassy Rae, and Blue were all adopted from an animal shelter. Buddy, Sadie, Stetson and Bodine were dumped on the side of…

I know how hard it is to resist the candy. M&M peanuts are my all time weakness. Everytime I say I'm not going to do something that exactly what I end up doing. My willpower is not real strong. When you get the urge to grab a piece of candy grab your water instead and take a break or go for a short walk. Chris

Hey Joey,:smile: Welcome to MFP. I just joined on Saturday. I love this site. I'm 54 and have put on about 30 lbs over the last few years and need to get it off for good. I really think its going to happen with all the support of this site. Chris

Hey Teresa I just joined the site a few days ago. I love it. I've been reading the blogs and have gotten a lot of motivation to lose my weight once and for all. Good luck with your journey.:smile:

Hi Krista, Good luck! :smile: I just joined a few days ago and I already love this site. I have 27 pounds left to lose and I'm finding MFP to be very motivational.

Hello, my name is Chris. I'm 54 years old and live in TX. I just found the MFP site and I'm so happy about it because I have been seriously wanting to lose weight for about a year now. My biggest problem was not having enough motivation to keep me going. I'm hoping to find that here. After logging my food and finding out…

I'm in 2 down 9 to go. I gave up drinking beer so I can lose the weight, so this will be the first superbowl without beer and all the good fatty foods, chips and dips. I'm really committed to loosing and keeping it off this time. I've already filled out my food diary and I will be within my calorie rangeby the end of the…

Hi mixiblob- Welcome - I'm new to the site also. Started yesterday. So far, I have found that logging all the food in the food diary is going to be a big help for me. I had no idea how many calories I was eating until I started logging them. I was shocked at how much I was over-eating. I've always heard it helps to keep a…

Welcome :smile: I just joined this site today and I am loving it. I've been trying to lose weight for the past year with no success. I love having an online food diary that tracks my calories for me. I'm not real disciplined on my own and I really think this site is going to help me reach my goals. Good luck to you!!!

Thank you mamagettinfit. I'm looking forward to all of the support. I think this is the only way I'm going to be able to stay motivated and finally lose my weight.
