It absolutely contributes to how long you will live. The number one thing kill American's today, Obesity.

It's all about moderation. Eating fast food for most of your meals is literally going to kill you from the inside out.

Agreed!

Short term fixes are just that. They never have LASTING results. MFP will help you make smart decisions. Just take it 1 day at a time, you can't make or break diets over night, it takes time. The screen saver on my computer says this, "It takes 4 weeks for you to notice your body changing. It takes 8 weeks for your friends…

If you are burning more calories than you are taking in then you WILL lose weight, and MFP will help with doing the math and keeping track for you. Now there are certain diet "low cal" food that takes your body longer to process so instead of burning more "simple calories" it focuses on breaking down those "diet calories"…

26 no kids, I'd be more than happy to help support you on your journey.

TJ MAX is the BEST!!! I don't buy work out clothes any where else because like you, I'm not going to spend top dollar for clothes I'm going to be sweating in. You can get tons for your money there, I swear by it! Also don't forget to check out their shoes. I got a great pair of running shoes originally $80 for $30. Good…

You can do it! You definitely want to start healthy habits before you start having kids. So if doing it for you isn't enough, do it to be the best woman you can be for your man, and your future little ones. Good Luck!

I was terrified to weigh myself again too! I was so scared to see exactly how much I had gained, my worst fear was that I would be even heavier than last time. But I sucked it up stepped on the scale, and laughed. I was at the same exact weight that I was when I decided it was time to change last time. Hey at least I'm…

Thanks for sharing everyone! It's great knowing you're not alone in your journey.

Sucks that we let all that hard work slip away, I forgot how much better I feel when I'm on this program. I hope you reach your goals and stick with it, what's the point of us working hard to reach a goal if we don't get to reap the rewards right? I wish you the best of luck!

I have done this program in the past and it worked great for me. Unfortunately I fell back into old habits and I am now back at square one, but I learned a lot from going through the process. First, know what you are going to eat before you get hungry. If you mentally plan your meals for the day it's a lot easier to stay…

You look amazing! That is wonderful inspiration. I hope you are so proud of yourself because you should be!

Last summer I lost 20lbs with MFP and a year later I'm 30lbs up starting all over again. I quit MFP because I reached my goal weight and instead of keeping up with it I fell back into my old habbits. I'm back on it now even more determind than I was last summer. I feel great when I eat better and I keep telling myself that…
