Last Minute Snack Before Bed??
So right before I go to sleep I get really hungry (it is real hunger). What, in your opinion is the best right-before-bed snack? Keep in mind that it has been about 5 hours since I ate dinner. I usually eat a piece of cheese or try to drink decaf tea but I'm really craving crackers and such, and sometimes I give in... :/

Went for my first run
So I just went for my first run since I've started MFP (yesterday). I haven't ran in about 3 months and holy cow did that ever kick my butt.

Any 55+ on MFP?
Love this program. Guess we are never too old to learn new weight loss tricks and techniques. I just discovered MFP about 10 days ago, and it's been wonderful. Hoping to hear from other "older" dieters. The younger gals sure sound enthusiastic with their progress. Would like to chat with some of the older set as well.

How to address un-supportive families?
So, I'm losing weight for me, I need to. But it just kills me that my family isn't the least bit supportive.
