Just getting back in the game... My dad recently passed after a very long and difficult illness. I'm in the process of switching from caring for him to caring for myself once again. Though I'm close to my goal weight, unfortunately it was mainly achieved via high doses of grief and stress. I'm looking to get back into losing weight through more healthy avenues. In the past I've found MFP to be most helpful when I can cheer on others while being cheered on by them in return. Life is a journey, why walk it alone? If you're looking for friends to add because you feel a community may help you, feel free to reach out. Best of luck to all!!

    Hi! It is kind of hard to admit to needing help. My current goal is to track food consistantly. I'm massively unhealthy and overweight, but if you can spare half a second once in a while to toss a "good job" at me, I'll be happy to support you as best I can. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I'm sure he really appreciated your care and love in his last days.

    Hi Ellen. Let's do it! I'd be happy to support you! It's not easy!!! My current goals are to simply eat on a regular basis, try to make those meals worthwhile, and get in 30 minutes (minimum) of exercise a day. It's baby steps, I know, but it sure the heck beats laying in bed all day eating Cheetos and ice cream ... My dad wouldn't want me to give up. He was a fighter. It's time I take a chapter out his handbook.
