I've been using mfp for over 2 years to track..but seldom come to the message boards. Oh boy am I glad I did today. Your story..your journey is so encouraging. How you did this for you and just kept finding things that interest you and just kept at it. I love it..congratulations and wish you the best for your life.

I've done both....weightloss is 80% in the kitchen and 20% in the gym or something like that. So I agree that you can lose with diet alone...however to maintain and keep it off and to look as healthy exercise is key....

I agree with the other poster. I've owned a bodymedia corefit since April 2013. It's been good seeing my actual burn, but the charge to use the website...I won't be renewing in April ( I signed up for a year) but I like that both are linked to mfp. I'll probably look into fit bit because it can be concealed.

It's all a personal choice...some of mfp like to be critique in their food choices and some just like to hear a work of encouragement as they make their choices. But most lilke to just hear that they're doing good..keeping on the journey. So unless someone ask me to critique them then everyone falls in the the later…

congratulations on such an awesome transformation.....you look good girl..

Congratulations on your first goal. You will succeed with such a positive attitude. It's a process...one of unending possibilities. In the beginning of this round of my journey...I took it one small goal at a time. 5lbs..no more no less was my goal to lose. That was 101.4 lbs ago. I've been on this round of my journey for…

I want a big whoosh....I'm within a few pounds of my personal goal and need a big whoosh

thanks...this helps me keep things in prospective.......I'm within 3lbs of my personal goal. Although it sometimes seems like I won't get there...at the same time I know I will. Since I'm living the lifestyle and not dieting.....my body has no choice but to keep releasing the fat. However it's doing it how and when it…

congratulations on consistant logging.........mfp is great huh

It can be a daily struggle to stay focused sometimes...then some days it just becomes natural. That's what I'm going for to become natural on most of not all days. But until then I stay connected with folks on the same journey via mfp and youtube. I love when mfp says if I continue to eat and exercise the same way on a…

really good thread..lost of good information...goes to show make this journey your own. And enjoy the ride....

awesome pics....thanks for sharing

you've done an awesome job thus far....keep it going. I'm within 15 lbs of my personal goal. now once we reach goal then what?? it's a lifestyle of maintenance...so why not start practicing maintenance? like the other poster said..train hard..go hard..and practice maintenance. and you'll drop that 25 for sure...and then…

congrats...I was once told we should celebrate every step of the journey....and that's just what you're doing...we all have different goals and ends....no two journeys are the same...but yet the same......big ups for you dear

thats so cool...we have to make new habits.....it's a habit to go to the womens section...good for you

I must be techically challenged...I copied and pasted the link to my browser and nothing....would love to help a fellow mfp out...but I'm lost...sorry ok I tried again and went through google chrome...and it worked....done..and best of luck

Shouting from the mountain top...CONGRATULATIONS...!!! Onederland..is a special place...well done...

it's a personal choice....I've done both at the gym..but bought a recumbent bike for my personal home use...it was easier on my knees and I can read and use weights to work my arms.

well...to continue exercise to include cardio and strength trainging... but really plan on riding a horse...slow trott of course.

you rock.......congratulations.

you can do this....you sound like me...been yo-yoing forever...and now with the end goal in sight....i've got about 20-25 more to goal as well....come on 2013..we're ready to kick butt....:bigsmile:

awesome journey....and beautiful family and story...keep it going for you and for your children.

amazing....and you look great to boot.......congratulations on your journey:happy:

awesome...pics tell the story..

you look great...keep up the good work...

not quite a drop out as of yet...I been on and off WW for so many years...and WW taught me the value of portion control and tracking..still feel sort of loyal. But although I'm ww online only...I use mfp for tracking now...because it tracks calories..I need to track calories in calories out....and its working for me.

yeah....from what I've read...tracking is a part of this lifestyle journey...so yes I will be an ongoing tracker here.

lol...we knew what you meant...great job....what was your ahha moment.

awesome journey thus far and obviously change in lifestyle..that's what its all about...welcome..this is a great site...
