I am sorry to hear you have had bad news. Hope all goes well with the tests. I have had a bad week too, emotionally draining. Its my 3rd week on MFP and I am wanting to reach for comfort foods this week, its been a struggle. I WILL make this work for me, health wise I dont have an option. Hope weekend goes better.

I am there with you. I eat when I am going through stress. I just lost my husband to cancer and so needless to say I gained back weight I had lost. I now have to start over and ultimately I should lose 80-85 pounds but right now anything I can lose to get out of the pre-diabetic zone will be a big help. I just started this…

"I am also dumbfounded when NJ people come to our state that tell us they never pump their own gas..it's against the law there. " Its the law because it gives the rude NJ residents someone to yell at.

I just joined MFP and looking for friends. I am looking for others who are also serious and can be supportive in the same goals.

Without a doubt public speaking.

Hi Diane I have been on this yo yo diet for all my adult life. I need to lose now for health reasons. I am new to myfitnesspal as I usually have done well on WW but now want to try something new. I am hoping this will help me to get and stay motivated. I am waiting for monday of the new year so I can start my diet...I know…

I am looking forward to getting back on the eating healthy mode....I dont feel well now and its been a long time since I have. My stress was a terminally ill husband for 2 yrs and he recently died, so its been ongoing for awhile and its just hard to get back to thinking about myself again. I am trying to get myself…

I totally agree, when I lost weight before I kept very careful food journals but during stress I tend to forget about putting me in the equation and gain weight back. I do keep trying and I have had success in the past, so hope to do it "again".

Thanks for the welcome here. I have mainly done WW in the past but cant afford it at the moment, so thought I would try something new this time around. I can stick to a diet as long as I dont have stress to side track me.
