Looking for friends that are using both MFP and WW
I LOVE this site, but got away from it after regaining all the weight I lost - and then some. To make a long story short, I joined WW 2 weeks ago and have been very successful (down 13.4 lbs), but I HAVE to track calories as well. Although tracking twice is a bit of a pain, it brought me back to this site! Anyone out there…

Another 50lb down post 188 to 138 - with pics
Hello everyone! My name is Chris. I am 48 years old and 5'5" (and a c-section mother of 2 and grandmother to 6). I was going to wait to post until I hit goal, which is only a few pounds away, but the closer I get, I realize I'm still not going to be happy with the reflection in the mirror at 135. So, what the heck, 50 lbs…

Two months of lifting - progress pic
48 y/o grandmother The pic on the left was what made me decide that cardio was not enough for me. I bought a universal weight machine and started using it right before the New Year. I'm pretty proud of the difference in this amount of time. My 10 year old grandson told me he thinks it's cool that his Nana has "guns".

Baking something that only gives frying directions?
I just bought some boxed frozen coconut shrimp (that I've been craving) and when I got home realized it only has directions for pan or deep frying. I won't fry them, so am going to try and bake instead. I have no clue whether I should try at higher or lower temp. Anybody ever try this. If so, what were the results? Thanks!

Below 150 lbs for the first time in ten years!
I started out at 188 (weight when I finally had the nerve to get on a scale anyway) and today I weighed in at 149.2! I'm so excited! My original goal was 145 because last time I weighed that I felt pretty darn good. Well, come to find out, age shifts and spreads things around and out, so my goal now is 135 or when I…

First Success Post - 22 lb difference
Feeling pretty good today after looking at my bathing suit pic from September 19th and comparing it to today. I've lost 32 lbs but there is only a 22 lb. difference between the pics. Still have another 16 lbs to go for my initial goal, but feeling pretty good right now. Please see my profile for the pics. Is it just me or…

success story?
I have come from darn near 200 lbs to 158. I'm happy. I'm in a size 12. Life is good. Why does everyone want to be a size 1 or 0? I mean, I get it. I want to lose more weight, like another 20 lbs, but I don't want to be twiggy. I'm just ranting I guess! No responses necessary!

I haven't seen this weight in at least 8 years
I am so excited that I am crying. I haven't weighed this LITTLE in at least 8 years. I don't know how to post a picture, but my scale says 159.8 and I've never seen a more beautiful sight!

Nothing can pi** me off faster than
someone accusing me of being in a bad mood when I'm not. The story: I'm a legal assistant and my boss has had this guy doing manual labor for the last couple of days. well, he left all the tools and materials outside the office and just left yesterday, so my boss had to bring everything in and he put it in one area. The…

any 5'5" ladies out there who want to share before/after pic
I get frustrated because a good majority of the before/after posters don't include their height in the post and I can't relate (other than the fact that they look great!) because I have no idea if they are 5 ft or 6 ft tall!! Really not trying to complain, just want to see some before/afters that I KNOW are my height!…

My first picture posting, but will have to look at profile
I tried to post them, but gave up. On my profile, the 3rd, 4th and 5th pictures - 1st taken at about 188, second and third about 165. I didn't think I had lost much in my face until comparing these pictures. I'm at 160 now! Please be kind!! :bigsmile:

Kids say the darndest things
My two oldest grandsons spent the night over the weekend and, after looking in my pantry and refrigerator, my oldest said "Nana, don't you have any BAD food in the house anymore?"! LOL - lucky for him I did and made them Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies without having even a bite!

Another "newbie"
Hello everyone. My name is Chris. I initially started my diet in August in preparation for a week long cruise next month, but I am now convinced it really can't be a diet, it has to be a new, healthy life change. I've lost 16.5 lbs. since August 22nd - and need to lose another 30 or so. I have no problem staying on track…
