    I had trouble finding you guys ... the changes on MFP are a bit confusing. Another group that I've been keeping in contact with decided to leave. bummer.

    anyhow, I've been super busy and stressed at home and work ... that is never good for my weightloss goals. My eating has been out of control, and I'm not working out as much as I should. I'm trying to re-commit today. I have an appointment with my nutritionist tonight, I renewed my subscription for my bodymedia arm band, and hopefully I can get things back on track.

    I'll be back tomorrow with a check-in ...

    Iwilldoit - Sounds like you are having some health problems. May I suggest a nutritionist to help you with your diet. You should able to sleep if you have the machine to help you breathe. A friend of ours has sleep apnea and he lost weight after using the machine. Have you checked with a doctor about this? By all means join us if it will help.
    Good luck.-

    Hi everyone, my name is Mica. I'm new to the group. I'm 5'1 and I weigh 212 pounds. This is the heaviest I have been, and I'm terrified. In 2013, I had reached 200 pounds, and I dropped down to 160. Due to a job change (which turned out to be a nightmare!), I fell back into old eating habits, and stopped running. I gained back the 40 pounds I lost, and gained an additional 12. I hope to make new friends on MFP. Thanks for listening.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? no. I kept digging in the candy bowl at work...eep!
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? I didn't set a personal goal for yesterday....
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? I didn't help myself to a 2nd serving of dessert.
    What would I have done differently? I would've gone for a walk around the neighborhood.
    What is today's personal goals? Go to bootcamp
    Did you try something new recently (food, exercise, etc. )? Nothing new today.
