Hi :)

I have been a member for over a year, I have used mfp on and off but now I really want to get serious. I have decided to make my diary open for people to see as added motivation to do well.
I think connecting with other mfp members will help me and others greatly :) so feel free to add me as a friend, I wanna hear all your stories.

    Hi,

    I'm in my 50's and have been dieting for years. Last year I went on a restrictive diet and reached my goal. I felt great. I just couldn't stick with that restrictive diet. Here I am 12 lbs regained and I'm back to the drawing board.

    I am doing my best with calorie counting and when I stick to the plan things work.

    The things that mess me up are the kids coming for dinner and me trying to make their favorites. DH wanting to treat me to dinner out. After 30 yrs of being a homemaker I'm more than happy to eat out. I'm doing my best to make good choices when I do.

    In my mind I still tend to shop as if I have a family of four eating when for the most time it's just me and hubby. Arghh. Then I find myself with all this food that needs to be eaten.

    Can anyone else relate?

    Although it's a little different I have a similar situation. I am a student, and for a student I eat extremely well. My problem is that when I cook a meal I find it hard to just do one portion. When I make a chilli I make enough for 4 people! Me and my housemate just started to share meals but I still make ridiculous amounts so I need to work on that! :) I have just got some electric kitchen scales which I use religiously now.
    I have yet to do so but I hear meal planning really helps when food shopping. Only buy what you will need for the week.

    Feel free to add me :)
