Finding what works and not beating yourself up I think are some of the hardest parts, for me anyway!

"The best diet for each person is simply what they can stick to." Can this be MFP's new slogan? And now that you mention it, the paleo debunking makes sense, because they all didn't have the same food sources... for some reason didn't consider that :p woops

I do appreciate your input and experience and I'm sure you are much more educated than me on this topic - no denying that. Honestly I don't even know what questions to ask!

Hi! I'm starting over as well (sigh)... hoping to lose the MOST STUBBORN 15-20# ever! It's extremely hard for me to lose weight, and I have a plateau about every 5 pounds! Motivation/reassurance is something I need! Would love to return the favor :)

I'm in! Starting @‌ 145! ....but like even 5 lbs would be cool B)

Hi! Congrats on your decision to become a healthier version of you :) Wishing you all the best! Will send a friend request. I'm on my own journey to lose a stubborn 15-20 that has stuck around for way too long... Good luck to all you ladies, feel free to add me!
