Attitude is everything
The longer I live the more I realize that attitude is what keeps me motived. I've been dealing with a mate that has cancer. She got lung cancer last year and I try to keep a positive attitude so she don't give up fighting. But I find it hard to spend time on myself at the gym or away from her, although she wants me to keep…

Thankful for MFP, shout out
I'm letting people know that MFP is the greatest place I've found. I've learned how to track the foods I eat, before MFP I would eat stuff that I thought was good. Now I can look at foods before it goes in my mouth. I've become friends with people that have helped me on my journey too. If you think MFP is one of the…

A product of our own thinking
Believe it or not, we grow up looking at our selves from what we are told or seen. We are a part of everything and everybody that has touched our lives.

We hold the key to our happiness
What is the old saying, If I knew then what I know now is so true. We as human being become slaves to are ways of thinking. We get held back, just by our way of thinking. I'm not young anymore, but I know that anything I've put my mind to, I can do it. I know I make it sound easy, but it is. So many times I've found myself…

Are you ready to do something for yourself?
I'm finding that some people cry for help, but they aren't willing to help themselves. I see it all the time with money as well, I don't have money for good healthy foods. Their not willing to get a part time job to make extra money (plus burning calories at job). The cost of healthy foods isn't that much compared to…

Why cry for help?
I'm finding that some people cry for help, but they aren't willing to help themselves. I see it all the time with money as well, I don't have money for this or that. But not willing to get a part time job to make extra. My guess is that they think that others here chatting will make them lose weight. Without a little sweat…

Walking is a great place to start losing weight!
When I started a few years ago trying to drop some weight. I started walking with a friend and years later I'm down 35lbs to 40lbs. The friend was a seasoned walker and didn't let me slow my pace. I see that person as a good friend who didn't let me make excuses to not walk many days. Now I've gotten back to the gym. It…

I was just told about MFP last week
I'm so glad that I can see what calories I'm going to eat before hand. I was eating foods that I thought were OK, but some were full of fat. Thanks MFP for your calorie counter and food chart.
