Hi everyone!! Thanks for reading. I have not been on MFP for a few months and I've been going through a lot in my personal life, but I've decided I am turning it all around. I started working next door to a Starbucks and for the first 6 months I did fine, but once I fell off the wagon I hit the ground hard. Everyday with at least one (at 250-350 calories a drink), sometimes two or three venti iced coffee/latte drinks from the neighboring business have killed my waistline. I am bigger now than when I was 5 months pregnant and my clothes are starting to bust at the seams. I do not want to live my life ashamed of my appearance and do not want to live my life with my arm's circulation being cut off because none of my clothes fit anymore. So its time now to own up and reset my ticker on My Fitness Pal and start my weight loss journey again. I am ready to run (jog) again and feel great and confident. So today I am trading in my coffee habit and I am going to start drinking green tea with no added sugar or flavor. I might occasionaly have a cup of regular coffee with a friend, but the addiction is ending today. One day at a time I'm going to make positive changes in my life and get back to where I was in June when I wandered off the path. I hope that I have everyones support and I welcome any new friends. If anyone would like to join me in giving something up....Please do. :)

    :flowerforyou: Welcome back!

    Missed you around here - look forward to seeing more of your posts :)

    I drink the different flavours of green tea... my favourite being Mighty Leaf Tropical Green Tea - it is a little pricey for tea but SOOO yummy :) I have also tried the Tetley Blueberry which is good and the Tetley Lychee Pear is super yummy as well.

    Good luck on this leg of your journey!
