Yes, I said not to cram things in your face without thinking. That's what I do, and now I'm at least 50 pounds overweight. Yuck!!! I feel like crap, and I have no energy to enjoy life. I wake up feeling like crap, I go to work, I come home, I lie on the couch like a slob the rest of the day, and then I go to bed and can't sleep. This yucky cycle continues each day... And, I didn't know how to stop it until today!!! I know this program will help me to be accountable for my actions, and I have to think before doing (or not doing). I want to eat better, be more active, and enjoy life more!!! I want to love myself and take good care of myself! I'M WORTH IT!!! smooched:

    Yep - that's what happened to me too! You will love MFP. Be sure to make some friends to cheer you on. Also - I look through the message boards once a day and gleen tips and recipes. I am 1 lb away from 1/2 way - so you CAN do it. Calories In - Calories out! Did we really think it would change? Best of luck!

    That was totally my schedule, too! I have been on mfp for a couple weeks now, and feeling much better. Best thing though, haven't had heartburn in two weeks! I am really trying to get in at least 3 sessions of exercise each week, even though I have the attitude of "let's just get this out of the way," I feel wonderful when I am done.

    All the best, and welcome to wfp!:happy:
