in Introduce Yourself
I started yesterday a am off to a ok start...not to mention the bag of pototoe chips I had for a snack and then decided not to have dinner. One of my old faults. Last year I lost 15 lbs and this year I gained 20 back. The reunion was over and so was my focus. i turn 50 in December and I want to smile in the mirror again. That is my goal.

    Hi there, I joined yesterday also, my sister told me about this site. I am on a journey to lose about 65 pounds. I had a baby last year and gained 135 pounds with the pregnancy AFTER losing 146 pounds 2 years before that. Needless to say I understand where your coming from. This is a struggle every single day, eating healthy, and still being able to enjoy life, sometimes you think that the two can't go hand in hand, but they can, and eventually I know I will figure this out, just like you will. Keep your head up and don't beat yourself up because you ate chips, you CAN eat whatever you want, just do so in moderation, counter the not so good for you foods with lots of fruit and veggies! Good luck!!:smile:

    The worse thing is to skip your meals even when you overeat or eat the wrong things. Better choice: have a healthy small meal!!!!

    Don't compund one error into 2 errors!!

    Hello MFP! I am soooooooo excited to have found you all. I'm on a mission to lose my post baby weight of approx 80 lbs. Did I mention my baby is 14 years old? *smile* Hopefully MFP will give me just what I need to get the ball rolling downhill. My greatest challenges will be fourfold (is that a word??) 1) I'm a sugar addict (2) I hate to cook and eat out alot 3) I'm allergic to all fruit except citrus and do not eat eggs, soy products, or tomatoes and 4) I have painful abdominal hernias that hinder exercise. With all of that said, I am steadfast and determined to win this battle of the bulge. I'm looking forward to making some new friends here for support andexchanging ideas.

    Hey lparsley,

    Yes, I'm LOVIN it! A new Jazzercise location just opened 2 weeks ago right near my house. Maybe it was a sign! Ha-ha! I planning on getting there 4X a week.

    How are you doing navigating on this site? How did you find it? It seems to be what I have been looking for...motivation and accountability. I'm looking to lose 40lbs.
