Just joined your group and need motivation to get me back on track again. I'm a 70 year young mother/grandmother. Like so many people I have yo yo'd all my life. I was doing well, starting out at 236 lb's and was down to 171 last November. Then the holidays struck and i've been slooowely going up, now reaching 189 ( according to the scale this morning). Help!!! Really need to get back on track so I can like myself and feel better again. I know I can do it, just have to get my motivation and dicipline going again. And.....like some of you, I love chocolate! Esecially peanut M&M's, so I do not keep them in the house. Also love bad carbs like Bread,pasta, etc. I know some of those things are ok in moderation, but lately I've thrown 'moderation' out the window. Hopefully joining a group will keep me on my toes to eating healthy again. Hope to chat with soon. Sandy:smile::smile:

    Welcome to MFP I love it. You will get back with it. We always fall and stumble but we always get back up. It doesn't matter how often we fall. What matters most is staying down. So good luck.

    Welcome Sandee. You're smart to get back on track before you gain more back.

    Welcome Sandy! Hope this group helps you get your "groove" back and get those pesky pounds off; it's helping me immensely, but I have a long way to go. Wish I would have caught myself before I gained it all back and then some. You are a smart lady. Good luck.

    Thanks Teri, It really is a battlefield of the mind this time. I seem to be obsessed with thoughts of food this time, like I've never been before. And it's NOT the foods that are good for me that are calling my name. I don't ever remember being this out of control. Today I've decided to make a real conscious effort to control my thoughts and make myself think of something else when the food thoughts hit. I'm still in "onederland" and I plan on fighting and winning the battle to stay here and to move onto my goal before my 'september BD. Grrrrrrrrrrrr ! I'm on a mission!! :explode:
