I'm really mad at myself! I haven't lost any weight in over a month! Today I weighed and have gained like 3 1/2 lbs. I am under a tremendous amount of stress as I take care of my elderly parents and my 88 year old mom has Alzheimer's. I have eaten wrong and I know it. I'm a diabetic too and was doing so well eating clean and healthy until the last couple of weeks and boom; candy, toffee peanuts, and falling back into old habits! I've been doing this app since March and have logged in everyday. I need motivation and help please!

    Hi,
    I completely get you. I've been using MFP for several years. On and off as I went through life. A tad over 5 yrs ago I got serious about changing my eating habits. I was on a roll, I lost about 40-45 lbs. Then my mom passed away. I spoke to her , laughed and joked with her the day she passed. This catapulted me into a brick wall. Present day....come November 10 th it will be 3 yrs since mama passed.About 4 mths ago I realized that I've regained 30 lbs of the weight back. So now I'm 17 lbs in to my new start.

    If you care to join me....send me a friend request.....like I said before...I get you..and I mean it.
