Love this post. Thanks for the pep talk. Kino wit wasn't aimed at me but sure hit home.

So happy for you. I can not say enough about the happiness I know you feel. It took so much hard work exercising, tracking food, and getting in the water. Hope to be able to post my own success story one day.

Hi, my name is Monica. I also have 80 to lose and just started mfp 8 days ago. This does look like a very supportive bunch of people. The app is very easy to use. Add me as your first friend:) . I am 55 yrs old today! We celebrated by going out to dinner. Have not had ice cream since on mfp but tonight I did. Boy was I…

Welcome Charlotte, I am Monica and have been using mfp for one week. It is amazing how easy it is to use this site.

Awesome. One day at a time. I am very temped to weigh but waiting until Sunday morning. I can tell my metabolism is changing and it has only been 5 days since starting mfp.

We all have the same things in common. We need friends to support us and give advice/encouragement. We all need to lose weight and learn healthy eating/exercise habits. By having friends who we can vent our frustrations to we develope a bond even if we never meet face to face.

Hi, my name is Monica. I have 87 pounds to lose. Hope to be able to join your group.

Awesome accomplishment. Way to go. I know it was a daily struggle. Hope to be able to post my success at my own personal weight loss journey.

What is a stone in reference to weight?

Awesome job in getting your bod into shape. I am sure you have worked hard at it. You are an inspiration. Thx for the pictures.

Hi, I am Monica. Last weigh in a couple days ago was 245. I decided to weigh only once a week so will make it a Sunday. Thx for the invite to the group. This is just what kind of challenge I needed. Now I have to remember to log..drink water..exercise..make healthy food choices...sounds do able. We can do this!!!

Very motivating. Thx. Also so happy for you.

So happy for you and your family. Running around with a little guy will help you burn the calories to keep your weight down.

I like to add 2tablespoons PB and a tsp sugar free hot cocoa powder to my oatmeal. Cures my chocolate craving.

Good day to you. When I joined myfitnesspal I weighed less than I do now. I failed because I didn't stick to the program. Fell off the wagon and didn't log food, exercise, etc. well this is a new year and time to try again to lose the extra pounds. I have quit smoking. It has been 3 1/2 yrs. I smoked for 34 years. That was…

I am definately in with you all. I love a challenge and during the winter holidays I usually gain. This year I want to be a LOSER. Ha Ha. Did a little math and set a goal for myself. Would like to be in Onderland by my 28th Anniversary on May 12th. That means a weight loss of 22 pounds in 22 weeks. I am so excited because…

Playtex cross your heart and Just my size. Look for the bras in the boxes. You can find some pretty, supportive, bras without underwires. Also these styles have very comfy shoulder straps. About 15 dollars each, but will wear a long time if you hang to dry, don't use the dryer.

Here is my latest discovery. Slice a small potato into very thin slices. put slices on the bottom and up the sides of a plastic collander, do not overlap slices. sprinkle with spices(garlic, pepper, seasoned salt) then the fun part. Microwave 3 to 3 1/2 min. Remove from microwave before they brown. Very similar to potato…

I am eating shredded wheat mini's with ff milk or two small pancakes with pb and banana.

Lots of exercise and tracking/planning meals really paid off for you. Not only are you proof that MFP can work, you are an inspiration to us all. CONGRATULATIONS
