Last year I took a Prediabetes class offered for free through my local hospital. It is a class that is put together by the CDC. It is a year long. You can get the whole curriculum online, but I would definitely recommend taking the class if you ever have an opportunity. It is really important that you have a balance of the…

Apply the old saying about you can have anything you want, but you can't have everything, in my approach to eating. Exercise a minimum of 30 minutes tomorrow. Read a minimum of one hour (and all the crap on Facebook doesn't count). Read a real book; one of the many I have piled up and not read, yet. Be kind, be gentle' be…

Use my stationary bike Read Stay off Facebook Pray at least 2x

Stop procrastinating. Remember to feel grateful, be grateful, show graciousness.

I'm in. Down 5 since I started. Thirty-five to go. Starting to work on a recumbent bike tonight.

Put a battery in the elliptical bike to rid myself of the excuse that it doesn't work. Get on the elliptical bike at least for five minutes no matter how boring I think it might be. Fold and put the laundry away that has been sitting finished in the basement since Monday. Turn off the political newscasts and read a book.…

Like Wolfena said, when you step on the scale in the morning and the numbers on the scale are lower. I get on and off a few times, make sure the light and my glasses are on, and read the scale again? It is a really happy feeling.

I am 64 and the last two years have lost a lot of weight diligently using MFP. I was a 22 and got down to an 8-10. I felt great. Sometimes, I feel like I will never learn from my life of eating mistakes. I became complacent and you know what happened. I am squeezing into 12s. So, before it gets completely out of control,…

Control habit

Just for today: 1. When I have a judgmental, critical, or negative thought about someone I will stop myself and say a short prayer for them instead. 2. When I think about eating I will take a big gulp of water. 3. Every morning, starting tomorrow, I will set the timer, so I don't sit there watching TV and scrolling on my…

Good one. I really need to work on #4.

Perfect response. Loved it. Just right amount of truth, snark, and insight. You must be from the east coast. I would watch my back though. She is probably waiting for you to fall off the wagon.

My husband is the sweetest guy in the world. He has always said he loves me whatever size I am. Whatever wacko fad I come up with for myself and my diet of the month -- high protein, no carbs, all carbs, WW, herbs, supplements, drinks, pills, surgeries, gyms, he stands by me. Through the tears and resentments, constant…

I tend to be a Like button pusher, thinking I don't want people to feel like they have to reciprocate, if they don't want to. Or, maybe I don't want to feel rejected. Too much thinking? You bet. I know exactly what I need to do without really thinking about it. I can almost do it on autopilot. Every day a couple servings…

Just for today, I will -turn off the TV and read something real and not on the Internet -only check my email/FB twice or for a total of 20 minutes whichever comes first -will increase my activity level from yesterday by 30 minutes -will take the ukulele I just had to buy out of the case and try it -clean the fridge

I have MS and walking is challenging. I lost a ton of weight, logged every day, got over confident, got back in bad habits again, and you know the rest of the story. I never learn. I just said, enough is enough, I can and will, do this. And I will. Hang in there.

I have MS. Some days it is really hard to get around and even on good days, I have balance issues. I lost weight doing this before with almost no exercise. I got overconfident, slipped back into bad habits, and am now recommitted. You have to pay really close attention to everything you eat. You can do this. If you don't…

You can do it. Add me to your group.

I want to be part of this. I never do the friend request correctly. Friend me and I will respond. Thanks. Chris

I would love to join. I never do the friend request correctly. Friend me and I will respond. Thanks.

Hello everyone- I would love to get some friend requests. I never seem to do the friending thing correctly. If you send, I will respond. Thanks. Chris

Love idea. SW 162 GW 130

I am in, but never seem to do the friending thing right. Reply to me and we will keep each other motivated.

It worked for me in the past. I stopped using it, and guess what? Yup, gained half the weight back. I am newly committed. Chris

Hi- I am new to this forum. Chris from North Central Idaho. I am not new to MFPal and achieved great success in the past using this daily support. And I am definitely not new to dieting. I will be 65 in November and for the life of me don't understand why I can't overcome lifelong bad habits. I am newly committed. Maybe I…

I am super sensitive to the comments of others. I lived in an extremely hot area and for forty years suffered because I refused to wear shorts or tee shirts, because of what others had said about scars, saggy arms, etc. The hell with them. Life is too short.

November 7th. Starting over for the hundredth time. I can, will, and have to do this! Three months until the 7th, so I am going for 15+ pounds by then. It is a reasonable goal.

I lost all my weight without exercise. I have MS and can't do much. However, I caved in again, for the hundredth time and gained all the weight back. I know exactly what I need to do, I just have to do it and stick to it! Only you can motivate you. All the trainers, gimmicks and slogans won't work without just plain doing…

Here I go again. The yo yo dieting. I can berate myself, which makes me eat even more, or stop feeling sorry for myself and dig in again. I have to do it. I read a lot about lifestyle changes. I have changed my mindset and lifestyle a hundred times. There is a piece missing.

We all seem to know what to do. We all know what happens when we don't. I seem to have learned my lesson so many times then blow it. I am motivated and ready to be accountable.
