    I’m metro Atlanta area. Just hit the halfway point on my goal. My wife thinks it’s crazy that my goal weight is my weight when I graduated high school.

    Isn't it early for snow? :#

    Good morning Middle-agers. It's starting to get hot 30c yesterday and summer start is still near a month away. It's going to be a very hot summer I think, many bushfires already. 😔
    Hope you all have a great week to come.

    Oooh where are you? I heard we might get some snow for Halloween if not it'll be cold. I love fall flurries.
    I'm recovering. Hoping to start rehab after Tuesday.

    Fall in Western New York is beautiful this year. Carving pumpkins on a damp cool day is perfect for a pot of Chili. Going to have to ignore the calories for these occasions. Hope everyone is having a fabulous Halloween Week!!47sioaqwdgul.jpeg

    Third time around for me.

    Cycle seems to be:

    Get in good shape > Slack off > Decide don't need MFP any more > Start losing good shape > Return to MFP. Rinse, repeat.

    Just need to stay put...

    Hi everyone,

    I’m 39 and trying to lose 15 pounds. Would really like to have some people in the same boat as me. Especially when having a setback.

    Hi all, I’m looking for helpful advice in regards to sleep issues. I can’t remember the last time I had a full eight hours of deep sleep. I’m always in this vicious cycle of no caffeine, then just a little, then all the time.. I don’t like to rely on sleep aids, since they just leave me feeling as bad or worse than if I hadn’t gotten any sleep at all. I’ve tried melatonin, different blends and doses, but they don’t really seem to help. I’m looking for some natural alternatives. I know keeping away from screen time before bed can be helpful, but it doesn’t seem to be enough. If anyone here has had the same problem and found a natural way of addressing it with success, please share.

    Thanks 🙂

    I wish I had helpful advice but, I haven’t found anything to help myself either. I get 3 to 4 hours a night. The weird thing is, I’ve gotten used to it and use it to my advantage. I get my workout done super early.

    I wish I could get used to it lol. I’ll just get mental after two weeks of being sleep deprived 😂. I end up taking a 1/3 of a sleep aid tablet just to get some relief but it doesn’t help when it comes to mental clarity or energy.
    A women in a grocery store, years ago, asked if I knew where the Chinese parsley was, or cilantro as I might know it as. She said it was very helpful as a tea for sleep. Maybe I’ll try that? Lol
