Hi all! I just wanted to comment on all the new teams with all the colorful names. So great to see people banding together for a common cause.

I have been on here what, 3 years now? The ONE thing I can point to that has kept me from sliding all the way back to 168 plus the extra 10 I always did with every 'diet' is the support of my friends and Black Team.

Honestly, I see their faces or hear their voices throughout the day. Stairs are taken instead of elevators because of Kati. I have sat down many a chocolate bar because I can hear Marla saying to snap out of it. I know I can DO IT because of Lori.

Too many to mention, but this support has kept me coming back, and maintain a healthier lifestyle.

Went thru too many bad things this year and gained back weight. My all time lowest weight was 132, but 135 was the real number. I am at 147.2 (:angry: hey that is better than 155!! :grumble: ) and holding. I am actually back to losing 1/2 lb a week and it feels good.

If I didn't have MFP and specifically my team to come back to, my friends new and old that I want to see if they are OK, or ran the 5k, then I would be wallowing in self pity, eating every one of my many emotions!!!

Good luck to you all. You inspire me. You lift me up. You make me want to be a better person!

Keep on Truckin'!! (now y'all know how old I am:laugh: )

Love, Jeannie:flowerforyou:
