I love MFP
I've lost 13-14 lbs so far.... but let me tell you. I'm not thrilled about the loss as much as I'm proud of the fact that I've figured it all out. I've got the diet down... I've got the right exercise regimen... and I've got a plan! I'll be ripped within another couple of months... I'm sure of it.
