@MichelleTPO Florida here.

Back on MFP to continue my weight loss journey and was sad to see this thread become inactive. It has been a great help to me over the years. We used to have contests and give a lot of support to each other. If there's anyone out there that would like to get going again with this please post something. I have struggled…

Well I just lost my post 4 times!! My computer is acting up, need a new one but I hate trying to decide what I need for everything I do on mine. I'm going to make this short and see if I can finsh it before it jumps to another page and I lose it again. Thank you all for your kind words, @nmwalkingqueen (sorry I can't think…

Hi everyone, I'm back after a really, really bad last 5+ months. My best friend for over 40 years died during surgery as a result of malpractice. She came to Florida and stayed with me every winter for the last several years. We raised our kids together, we vacationed together etc. etc. you get the picture. The day she…

@skinnyjeanzbound-I do, I do! Have something fun planned for this coming weekend that is! It probably won't help with the weight loss but I'm going in NC to see my son, daughter in law and 5 grandkids!! My grands are ages 16 to 6. So it won't be long before the older ones are grown and on their own. The 16 year old is…

@skinnyjeanzbound Yes, I definitely have many of those days. I've tried more water and that didn't help me either. Lately I've tried very slowly nibbling on a tablespoon of peanut butter. I like Jiffy extra crunchy because it gives me something solid to chew on. It seems to help a little bit... If anyone has a better…

I'm back too! Been off MFP for over a year now. Only good thing I can say is that when updating my stats I realized that I weigh exactly the same as I did in March of 2020...way too much but thankfully no gain. I've never felt my age (74 in 6 months) until I got this heavy (250 awful pounds). I hope by the time I actually…

@Nikion901 you have just reminded me again that I need to not only watch my calories but to also make better food choices. A year ago when I started this I was doing much better. Lately, I seemed to have slipped and consequently I am hungry more often and not eating correctly, which for me means less carbs, less red meat,…

A word to the wise, try not to come down with the flu a week after surgery. Thanks goodness it was one of the very light strains, chills, aches and low fever. Checked it out with my surgeon, everything is okay. Turns out he had the same thing last week, he wanted to know if I gave it to him or he gave it to me! LOL Then, I…

The Winter Games Report Week 5 We had an overall gain this week but I don't want anyone to feel bad, there were extenuating circumstances and many things going on. I'm sure this coming week will be much better so just keep plugging everyone, we can do it! GOOD NEWS we now have 3 people who have met their challenge goal!…

Our total loss for the week figures out to 8.2 pounds, vs. over 32 pounds the prior week as our bodies adjust to the new weight. This coming…

Just dropping by for a quick minute but I have to say @happygirlxxx along with the great advice about compassion, the last line of that quote really gave me a jolt!

Day 2, within my calories and over my water for the day. AND no evening snacking last night, hopefully tonight will be night #2 with no snacking! Going back to counting the days with no snacking after 7pm, that worked before going to try it again! Reading all the posts and seeing what everyone else is doing is such a help.…

Finally, a better day! I'm within my calories and I drank about 90% of my water and the day isn't over yet so I'll get that water where it should be by the end of the day. Have a great evening, everyone and welcome to the new folks. :)
