    New to the boards although not new to MFP. I have lost and gained the same 80 lbs twice. Trying again, this time trying to heal my relationship with food. I rarely eat because I am hungry. I eat for a million other reasons, but not because I am hungry. Would love some new friends!

    I can totally relate, all too well!
    Sending you a FR☺️

    I think we are all stuck in the same vicious cycle.

    Ditto that but 40lbs for me. Lost a lot of weight in my 20s, 30s, 40s and now hoping to do it again in my early fifties. Funny how it creeps up on you despite knowing what to do and how to do it, old habits tend to sneak back into our routines.

    @cgrout78 Awesome goals! I hope to be weight training by the end of the month. I'm doing some cardio and trying yoga (trying is the key word) to get back in motion first...little too much sitting around...lol.

    Yesterday, I was voracious. I know it was the first day back at work since before the holiday, and those are stressful days in general. But I was literally eating everything in the kitchen, from hard pretzels for breakfast to Haagen Daaz at 8pm. Just not a good day at all.

    And I'm sore from yoga. Am I the only person in the world who can get sore doing a soothing, meditative exercise?

    I like you already 😂💕

    OK, I really need to try this yoga thing. Is there a good youtube video or something online I can follow along with?

    Once I get my lifting routine on track I’m going to try and add in some yoga as well.

    Good morning and happy 2021 to all you middle-aged beauties! Anybody else struggling this week? I just can't seem to get it together for the new year, and get back on track with logging. Usually I'm ready and eager to get back to it. MFP notified me this morning that today is my 5th year anniversary, so this isn't new for me.

    Continuing with the diet I have learned a few fun things. Excess celery eating makes your belly play magic music. Hope everyone has a great day. Feel free to add and Lee me accountable. I will do the same

    I've had the same problem of yo-yo'ing. It's disheartening in a way, but also you do know that you can do it again. I've got a good 70 lbs to lose, too. Good luck this year!

    Good morning all!
    I'm feeling a little stabby this morning, because people in general kind of suck, and coffee isn't helping. It's going to be a big game of "willpower" vs "eat the cake so I don't yell at people" today. Wish me luck. Maybe I too need some yoga.
    I hope you're all having a good day!


    “Feeling a little stabby”😂😂
    I’m sure that’s a British thing but I’m sure as hell gonna make it a ME thing from now on🤣

    I think that phase of feeling standby is the best thing I’ve heard in a while
