I'm Back! Can't believe I left MFP!

Options
Ok so I walked around walmart today trying to find something to cook for supper that wasn't out of a box. After about an hour I decided I have to come back to MFP! I have been gone all summer probably longer, but have at least kept up going to spin about once a week. I have been on lose it and other sites and MFP is the only one where I actually made progress! So friend me if you are old, friend me if you are new and I can try this AGAIN. I think this is as addictive to facebook if you particpate and while you are on MFP you somehow end up making better choices foodwise. Looking for some real recipes for real families (no stuff I can't find in my country grocery store and no meals that take hours to prepare). So any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks for having me back!

    Welcome back! Feel free to add me! I was still here over the summer and did a little damage. But, already on my way back to where I was. Starting next week, I will kick into high gear the concentrating on healthier food again. I picked back up on the exercise, but still not doing good on the food.

    I've been back for a week--and I'm so addicted! There's so much great stuff on here. Great people too! MFP is a great place to be.

    Welcome back! I had a rough summer and gained back most of what I lost. I had been popping in to MFP often and working out some but now I'm ready to get back in high gear. So, feel free to add me - I could use more friends to keep me motivated and feeling accountable.

    WOW! I read this board and thought - I AM NOT ALONE. I had a great start last fall and then summer life got in the way. I have decided that I am going to get better about my weight loss effective immeditely. I am being paranoid about walking in the gym since I haven't been there all summer but once I have my daughter off to school in the morning I'm hitting the gym. It will be a slow start but slow is better than no start. I am in my 40's very unhealthy, tall and about 50 - 60 lbs overweight. I am wanting healthy, normal recipe ideas and NEED FRIENDS!

    Welcome back everyone who left. I could use some more active and chatty friends so anyone please feel free to add me. I log daily and love to encourage and be encouraged. It's a long road that's for sure but friends can make it fun.

    I just started this summer and I haven't missed a day since joining. But seeing so many people that have left and gained back everything they had lost has made me see that I better not ever leave. I think even when I get to maintenance weight I will still be here. I'm a lifer now.
