in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone, I’ve started this process a few weeks ago and a lot of the people Ive started with have left or are not active, could use some more friends. Please feel free to add me, or leave a comment and I’ll add you. 👍🏻

    Hey there - I'm a fellow Dad (of older kids) who is rejoining after having some success, plateauing, stop updating on MFP and now rejoining since tracking food seemed to work for me. Hoping some community support will increase my ability to stick with the program

    I could use some more active friends as well! I’ve been on here for 2 1/2 years, and love encouraging all of my friends! Some of mine are rather hit and miss these days. Sending you both a friend request. ;)

    Just about to head out on summer vacation. Will be tough to maintain the restricted diet, but an interesting challenge. Hope to increase activity to help offset the food intake. Either that or I only stick with food that I catch off the boat...

    Cdnconner - I totally understand the struggles of eating healthy on vacations and when you’re food choices are limited. Man I love fishing, I can’t wait till my little girl get a little older, so I can take her out on the water.

    Mine are 10, 8, and 8 (twins) so I quickly learned that fishing with kids is a lot of untangling lines and baiting hooks (and then taking fish off when they're caught). My fishing starts either early in yh morning or at dusk.

    Trying to limit the temptations by not bringing things aboard the boat that are junk. Would be interested to hear what others turn to as their "healthy" snack especially for someone like me with a sweet tooth. I tend to go for kettle corn.

    Cdnconnor, below is just one of the many photos from my past fishing trips. Looking at this photo gives me hope that I can be in the same shape as before. Regarding little ones and fishing... I can remember being the one that always tangled up the lines 😅. Aww, good times 😎
