My name is Pattie. I am a 58 year old widow from Michigan. I lost my husband, my best friend 11 years ago. I have struggled with my weight since and began this weight loss journey with my daughter (who does not live with me) in January. So far I have lost 14 pounds and she has lost 16. I love MFP. It has helped me…
Doesn't appear to have been any posts in months. I lost my husband 10 months ago and am here to lose the weight I gained this past year. Would love to connect with other wids on MFP.
Hi everyone, I've been distracted and not logging on lately. But I'm back. Ready to re-commit to my health. In the meantime, I just passed my 2nd anniversary.

I'm trying to drink low cal. LOL I know, bad solution, right? I just…
This group is great to have because we are a different type of people... I see message boards where people say "I lost my weight with the support of my wonderful husband.." and I wish I can say that. Im jealous. I want to share that I just got this book on amazon for $1, its called "Im grieving as fast as I can-how young…
I just want to tell you all Happy Easter! I am headed to my parent's house. It is about 70 miles from my house. My boys and I will stay the weekend. I know I am going to have a hard time staying within my calorie range while up there. But am hoping with knowing that I am going to try to track some of it will keep me honest…
