I have been on MFP for over 13 years and the newsfeed has been an absolute necessity and major support for myself and others each day. We rely on each other for the good, bad and ugly. Through trials, tribulations and successes. The newsfeed is a feature that keeps me on track and accountable to myself and others. Please…

I’ve been on MFP for over 13 years! The newsfeed has been vital in my progress. Connection with like minded individuals is critical in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I’ve made many friends who are real, honest, struggle and get it back together- because of the support and encouragement we give each other. Please DO NOT…

I'm at 4497 and counting, been on MFP a little over 12 years. :)

i am currently taking greek yogurt, 1 oz of raw almonds and a bosc pear for dipping into my yogurt, but i would love other's ideas.

wow!!! i thank all of you for your awesome, inspiring and delicious suggestions!! i can't wait to go grocery shopping (which i usually hate!) :)

you look amazing and healthy! congratulations on your achievement! i am in maintenance, so if you want to friend me, we could be friends going through the next journey in our lives-keeping it off :) gbers

You are an amazing strong, healthy lady! What an accomplishment and way to continue your healthy eating journey. Friend me if you like. I can totally understand where you are coming from. gbers :)

One of my friends just passed logging in for 1435 days! :) I think that id the longest I've seen on here. gbers :)

take one day at a time best advice, still use it today!

Chobani by far! More protein, thick and yummy!! My favorite is pineapple. :) It is good for you, fills you up and tastes delicious...

thanks so much for the recipe! can't wait to try it!

i have been along this road many times myself, but this time is different because i am not stopping this healthy lifestyle. i have been in maintenance for 13 months and know that if i continue what i am doing i will stay where i want to be. too many times in the past i thought i could stop because i reached my goal- but…

thank you all for sharing your lives with me about your dear parents. i really appreciate you letting me into your worlds. i am going to try some of your ideas. thank you again, gbers :)

i have lost 34lbs (which was at my goal) and it took me about 7-8 months. i have now also maintained that loss for a year as of yesterday :)

I hit my goal weight (and went 7 pounds under that) and have now kept it off for 11 months now. I worked at home on the Tony Little Freestyle Gazelle 6/7 days, and began to lift light weights at home to tone and define my upper arms, in addition to eating vegetarian/higher protein healthy food choices. I really think it is…

barely 5' married to my guy 6'3" for now over 30 years!! :) and i agree weight loss is a bit more challenging for us because every lb seems as if it is noticed (and felt) five times more because we only have so much vertical space to put it! which just makes the fight that much more sweeter to win!

I have been eating a lot of soy products and vegetarian quick microwave entrees. They are made to taste like the real thing and are pretty close. Calorie-wise, you save a BUNDLE and can eat more during the day while still losing weight.

what a great thread! i love quotes and here are a few i use. "I used to run with DOUBT, now she can't keep up. "It's supposed to be hard. If it wasn't hard everyone would do it. The hard, that's what makes it great!" from League of Their Own-Jimmy Dugan and the one i have on my refrigerator: WINNERS are never WHINERS If…

i painted for a week and couldn't wait to get back to my regular lifting schedule too!

still in! amazing the small changes that can happen in 15 days!!

i am a 'ginger' (although it was much brighter when i was younger and we never referred to it as a ginger then) and i have a daughter who is a brilliant ginger! :)

Recoiljpr--WOW ! Thank you so much for the video clips of the actual exercises! I am such a 'hands-on' kind of person and just viewing these really allowed me to see the true form I should strive for! What a difference!!!! gbers :)

thank you both for your information and websites to help me with my weight training! i can't wait til tomorrow to try a few of them! gbers :)

thanks so much for your input! i like the idea of a learning mistake, kinda what life is about huh... thanks again for your advice too!! gbers :)

thank you for all of your information. i am a novice at this and appreciate your information and knowledge. i am currently focusing on my triceps, biceps and shoulders.

thank you so much for all your weight lifting information. i am a novice at this and appreciate all your information and advice! i am focusing for now, on my triceps, biceps, and shoulders for now.

I am also working on my triceps for the first time. Any specific instructions on the lifts you mentioned above would be appreciated. thanks!

Great job your first week!

I do and I use it daily. I log it on here as an elliptical. I watch a romantic comedy or some DVD I can lose myself in while I do it. I started out doing it 10 minutes a day and worked my way up by 5 minute intervals each week, and am now up to 63 minutes 6 out of 7 days a week. I also vary how I do it during that time,…

Calvin Klein- Obsession a sexy classic by far...
