Welcome! You're at the right place. I never really tried losing weight until a couple years ago. I found MFP, committed myself to losing 25 pounds, and did so in six months.... the healthy way. You'll love MFP and if you stick with it, you'll meet your goal weight and feel so much better! I fell off the wagon late last…

Welcome! It sounds like you're already off to a good start. Keep that spirit of determination going strong! Know that you are fully capable of accomplishing anything you commit yourself to and do it!

I agree with Jay! We're all on this journey together and what better way to go down this path than with the help of MFP friends. You can do it and don't ever let yourself give up! Be determined! Be strong!

Welcome! It's definitely harder to lose the weight as we get older, but MFP will help you get your body back. I did it once and now I'm doing it again. Watch your calorie intake, eat smaller portions, drink plenty of water, and do lots of cardio! You'll lose the weight in no time.

Welcome back! I'm getting started again here too. I won't consider another site b/c this place rocks and it works!

Never give up! You can do it! :)

Welcome! I love photography and museums too. This place is definitely a big help for your journey. Lots of support and great information!

Welcome! I'm in the same boat as you. I'm a SAHM with a two little ones as well. I was determined and driven to lose weight and actually lost about 25 pounds. I then decided to take a small break. That small break turned into a big break. I lost my motivation and have gained all that I lost, but not more than that. I…

Welcome!

Welcome! You'll like it here. There is plenty of support and motivation. Good luck! :)

You look awesome! I can see the definitely see the difference. I also think it's hard to see the change when looking in the mirror. It helps to look at pictures though. Keep at it though... you're doing great!

I agree with you. I know you are loving the FL weather. I'm from Florida but live in NC now and I'm so tired of the cold weather. We keep getting hit with one snow storm after another. Not a fan at all! I miss FL so much and we're planning a move back. FL does have some very hot days but for most of the year, it's almost…

Hmmm....I love pasta. I could never give that up...EVER! I used to eat it in very large portions but now eat the correct portion size according to the box. If I'm eating out, I eat about a cup of it and put the rest in a box to go. As far as drinks go, I can never give up sweet tea.

I'd been on a break after losing a little over 20 pounds. I've got about 10 to 15 pounds left to lose and am getting back into the swing of things.

I don't mind water too much but am picky about how I drink it. If I'm not exercising, I like room temperature water. If I've exercised and worked up a sweat, I love ice cold water. I can't have it any other way. I've tried flavored waters, vitamin waters, and lemon water. I didn't like much of either. So, I stick with the…

I welcome you here. This is a place for people to come together with one goal in mind... living a healthy lifestyle. It should be a place free of judgment and ridicule. It's important to feel welcome and supported when trying to live a better lifestyle. So if you need any support in your department, feel free to contact…

Excellent job!

You look incredible!

I was going to buy the Zumba DVD set to use but it seems a lot of you are really satisfied with the Zumba for Wii. So, I'm going to give that a shot. I can't wait to try it. It looks like it'll be good fun!

Sounds delicious. I'm definitely going to try this.

I'll be adding some new items to my list after seeing a lot of the lists posted here. These are the usual items I buy for our family of four. I like to buy in bulk and freeze certain food items. We grill and bake a lot. We try to eat healthy most of the time but do enjoy eating comfort foods from time to time. Blackberries…

I'm 5'9" and am medium build. I went from 162 down to 139 this year and at 139 I felt really good. I'd love to get down to 135 so that's my goal in the upcoming year.

I tried Vitamin Water but it made me feel sick after drinking it. I don't trust that stuff.

I love logging in. It's part of my daily routine since starting MFP and if I'm away from the computer, I just use the iPhone app. Best of luck to you! Adorable Pug you have. :) I have one too. They are so sweet.

Welcome! I'm in the Triad of N. Carolina. You'll love the support you receive here. Believe in yourself and know that you can and will reach our goals!

Include some running in your routine and like the others mentioned, Shred is a good workout to try. I do it and love it! The baby tummy is a hard area to lose and I'm in the same boat as you.

Good luck! I have been doing it too but not every day as I had planned. I need to get back on it. It's a great workout!

Welcome!

I think all of the Wii fitness games are good b/c they get you up and moving. I wouldn't do any one of them as your only form of exercise though. I use them as an additional exercise and have used my HRM to see how many calories I burn with each. Wii Fit is amongst the lowest. I find it somewhat slow. Wii Active is one of…

Good work!! Keep it up!
