    Good Morning Everyone, Hope everyone is doing well. I’m also new to MFP. It’s only been a week and I’ve lost 3 lbs. It’s good to know that I’m not in this alone. I’m turning the Big 40 in June and I would love to be in ONEDERLAND by then. I need all the motivation and support I can get. so feel free to add me if you like.

    I know alot of people including myself, eat when they are bored.. I have a list of things to do instead of eating hanging up on my desk wall. I thought I would share them with everyone. I made alot of them up and got some of them off of google.

    -Paint your nails

    Hi everyone!
    I have been a MVP member for a while but keep losing track of myself. I too am looking for friends and eager to get back in here. I have 2 small children, work full time outside the home, love to eat (bad stuff obviously) and am type 2 diabetic on the insulin pump. I have been the same weight for 8 years. Would love to drop even 10 lbs but I am just not feeling it. Would love to add some friends and get some more support and some "get off your duff and make time for you!" gentle nudges. :-)

    For me it is not about losing weight (I can't look at it like that) but it is about getting healthy and taking care of me and then seeing the weight come off. Is that possible or am I dreaming?

    I look forward to getting healthy with all of you!

    Jen
