Great job, wow! Very inspiring!

~ And Roman J Israel Esq I liked, especially Denzel Washington’s portrayal and hope he gets an award for against his usual type acting.

The Shape of Water. It was good but maybe I expected it to be better. Saw Phantom Thread recently and thought that was really good, surprising and very well acted I thought.

Phantom Thread

Under poor customer service. A teller at drive thru bank window assumed I didn’t know how to use the drive up atm when it whirred and “canceled transaction” & I came to the window. She proceeds to explain how - the...ATM...works. She could come out and show me and but she.... Like someone doesn’t know how to use an atm.…

I’m inspired and impressed with all your changes! Really well done!! You’re doing great and you’ll find your way to fine tune having chocolate in a good way for you, too. Would making prepackaged servings help you. Have you enjoyed the chocolate with all your attention and not at all guilting yourself and experiencing the…

Hi all! I’ve also struggled and regained but am different about it now. It seems I do learn something really more helpful as I go. So though it may seem the same it’s not. Maybe like the movie Groundhogs Day!: ) Ryan you sound newly committed to taking good care of yourself and that’s great! Celebrate all the little steps…

Great job! You must be feeling so much better. Looking good!

Thanks!

It'll take a little time for people who are used to you looking a certain way to adjust and a full face sometimes looks younger to some people but that doesn't mean you really look old, you probably look different. Give them time to adjust and do what you want. Congratulations getting the excess weight off and feeling…

Anyone use the paid for version of MVP?

Eliminate all sugars? No one is suggesting that. Well this thread about this video isn't.

Btw, University of California San Francisco (UCSF) for those who don't know is one of the very best medical centers and hospitals in the U.S. and Dr. Robert Lustig is a doctor of endocrinology at UCSF. The video is a production of the University of California system - UCTV is University of California television. Check em…

From my reading on this topic, that SO many foods have sugar added to them means we eat hidden sugars much more frequently than we think. Aside from obviously sweetened foods there is sugar added as a flavor enhancement or as a preservative to most store (& many restaurant) bought foods. I've read more closely labels of…

Good for you to find strategies that address your concerns and to keep figuring it out ~ and getting support. I'm inspired. It's a process of growing awareness. Thank you for sharing what you've discovered. Great going!

Robert Lustig's pbs video 'Sweet Revenge' from the library, maybe streams online, explains how processed and sweet foods cause loads of insulin hormone to overwhelm the 'fullness' hormone leptin & you won't get full and will eat more than you need. Lots of insulin (hormone triggered from eating sweets & carbs) blocks…

Try a calming or self-compassion guided meditation from on the free app - Insight Timer - if you can lay in bed listening to it for 10-30 mins. it can help you handle and feel some relief from stress.

I've also been a comfort eater. I find a few days of none of the junk w/a rule to not go buy it is the only way to break the habit. Or only go buy a healthy snack if that's possible. I think most people want to eat again whatever they've been eating in the last few days. It normally reinforces it to have it. And if it's…

You've done so well, are so beautiful and very inspiring! You must feel awesome. Great going ~ Congratulations!!

Wow, congratulations! Your hard work really shows! Great news!

I'm walking consistently much more than I have in the past and I'm becoming more understanding of myself w/less need to use food for emotional reasons.

Congratulations! Good going!

Go you, that's great!

Wonderful accomplishments, super list, inspiring!

I see you wrote yesterday & haven't had a response which makes me think this group isn't too active. I'm new to MFP groups so it could be about right. But I'm sorry to hear you're struggling. I can relate to feeling off track. Much of what I'd say for tips that work like regular balanced meals or the power of food,…

Congratulations reclaiming your health! Awesome work. It can be lonely. You should be so proud and celebrate for the next 3 years in some wonderful non food way - you deserve much reward and buoyant health for such dedication! Keep growing, changing and reaching for your dreams! Congratulations!

I'll join this challenge for January, thanks for starting it! Name: Karen Height: 5'4" Starting Weight (1/1): tbc Goal Weight (1/31): Lose 6lbs 1/1: 1/8: 1/15: 1/22: 1/29: 1/31: Loss/gain for the week: Loss/gain for the month so far: Struggles or successes of your week:

Congratulations reaching your goal weight, great job! These are super suggestions to set new physical health goals, or celebrate in a way you love, and I would add ask yourself what else you wanted a weight loss goal to achieve for you - maybe it isn't about weight at some level, maybe it's you thought you'd be "........"…

When your body replaces the donated blood with fresh blood it is considered to improve your health. How that might change cholesterol exactly I don't know.

Congratulations!
