I joined My Fitness Pal too and that site is excellent! I have to jump in on this thread too. Back after my youngest was born I did really great and lost 60 lbs but when I went back to work 2 years later to a job that I hated I gained it all +20lbs back... bleck! But this May I turn 40 and I made a promise to myself to be at least 40 lbs down by my 40th. I have a whole lot more than that to lose but I figure that is a fairly safe and doable goal. So I am in for the weigh it... I am down 2 lbs since Christmas so far.

I need to jump in here. I've lost 5 lbs in the past week, but I had some tummy issues (not sure if it was gallbladder or a stomach flu that was lingering) so I've been super careful what I've eaten and had very small portions. I haven't changed anything else though and I need changes all around.
I'm thinking about Weight Watchers. I just don't want the expense, to be honest. That is the only thing that has kept me away from it. I want the information but I don't want the continuing online expenses or the meetings. I would pay for JUST the information but I haven't saw that as an option.
Anyway... for me breakfast is always 1 or 2 scrambled eggs. I put a little sea salt on them, nothing else. Most days I eat one, if I am especially hungry I eat 2. Lunch I usually have a 3oz portion of lean meat with some fresh veggies. I don't cook with oils or anything. Dinner though... sometimes I cook for me and go healthy but most of the time I cook for my family and they want stuff like lasagna and pizza, etc.

I'm in too!
I just discovered this post today so I guess a little late is better than never for jumping in. I have been using My Fitness Pal as well to help keep myself accountable and It has been great. I am down 60lbs since last April and my goal is 100lbs. So far my tactics have been smaller portions and no carbs, no starches and no sweets. Some call it Paleo, others call it Primal but I call it working so I'm not messing with it. It has taken a WHOLE bunch of will power which I totally lost during the holidays.
I wish everyone luck with their own journey, mine has been challenging at times but last weekend I put on a size 10 for the first time in 10 years and it made it all worth it. :thumbup:
