Add me too! :-)

I would love to join! I'm a nice, funny, sarcastic mom who is in desperate need of co-motivators! I blame my kids all the time. ;-) They are a little older as well, 15, 10, and 7, but between all their activities, work, and exhaustion I would love to be in this group. Can you send me an invite?

Hi! I just started in January as well. I log every day, even if I had a bad day. I have an open diary, and anyone can feel free to add me. ;-)

Hi Steve! Good Luck! I love this app, it has really opened my eyes (and pissed me off at times) as to how many calories are in my favorites foods. Let's just say, a lot of those things are no longer my favorite foods!

I feel the same way! Now, damnit!! ;-)

I just saw this, so request is sent. :-)

I started at 331 on 1/10/15. I'm looking at the same goal as you. I will friend request you, us long haulers need to stick together!! ;-)

I ask my kids and husband what they would like for the upcoming week, but I make healthy adjustments to the plan. Like if they want spaghetti and meatballs, I make lean turkey meatballs, SmartSense noodles for the kids and my husband and i eat Shiritaki (sp?) noodles or spaghetti squash.

I love sugar free jello and fat free whip cream. It has been my go to dessert. I get the sweet cravings after dinner. I huge serving is only around 100 calories, it's enough to satisfy my craving and make me feel like I'm indulging without breaking my count for the day.

I'm planning on doing it this weekend. I'm scared, nervous, slightly nauseated...

I SO needed to read this today! Right on the money with one.. ;-) We are all in this together and it is freaking HARD! I got you back lady!

I'll happily be your friend!! I need the motivation and encouragement too! Good luck to all of us!

I had the same thing! Week 1 I lost 6 pounds, this week, I'm up 1/2 pound. I've always been at a deficit, worked out 4 times, got in my water and sleep. I feel the same, ANGRY, BROKEN!! WTF is wrong with my body!!! I sympathize with you so much! My husband and I have been eating almost the same and working out, he lost 12…

Absolutely amazing!! Way to go! :D

Good Morning! I would start with saying if the weight gain is related to medicine, maybe consult with your prescribing MD to see if they have any recommendation or restrictions for dealing with the side effect of weight gain. Otherwise, I have started googling healthy swaps for ingredients for recipes. Like plain greek…

I just started too. I've been using MFP for one week and I just started using the community part today. I wish you success in your journey!

Me too!! I'm new to MFP and need all the motivation I can get. I'm starting week 2 so I'd say in about another week I'm going to say *@$# this, I'll just be fat.... I'm hoping a good support network can help me avoid that. I'm trying to figure out to send friend requests....

Thank you all so much!! I'm trying really hard to change my perspective to be more positive and using food as fuel instead of as comfort and it getting better. Food is AWESOME, but I need to be in control of it instead of the other way around. That is why you all are so amazing to understand that. Some people just don't.…

Hi Haley! I love using my crockpot! Google is my go too to find new ideas, but one of my favorite healthy recipes for my crock pot (super $$ friendly also) is Chicken Tortilla soup. I have a family of 5, so my recipe is enough for dinner and leftovers, but it freezes really well too, so if you need a smaller batch, just…

It is SO hard!!! I feel your pain, sometimes, we just have to take it one day at a time. :-)
