Been out of things for awhile & trying to get on track. My beautiful June behavior is to tackle my low self esteem. Hard to take care of what you don't value. Doing the deep work of why & then hopefully to fix.

Great news on the health front! Thanks for all the well wishes & I wish everyone gets my results! What a wake up call to get my life in order though. @kitten_info what a great win in the attitude!!! Right there you got this! @happysherri your dedication is amazing & massive grats on busting thru though those plateaus! You…

I think weight loss & becoming healthier is about so much more than just diet & exercise. There is a huge emotional & mental aspect that throws up barriers & makes it more challenging. You overcome something to find another. You think your never going to win- then you look at where you started & you realize you have…

Been a rough last few days & today I'm on pins & needles. I have a mass in my breast & underwent biopsy. Today I should find out the news. Scary stuff - sooo stress eating, failed the water challenge but I'm logging my stress eating. I know many have walked this path. My beautiful behavior is trying to meditate & get some…

Ok fell off the tracking wagon from Friday on. Lost in games & no real sleep or healthy behaviors. Today's healthy behavior - embrace what heppened nonjudgementally & log. Surprisingly, not too bad! Going to try to figure out how/where lost me to learn. Today already a better day. Going to pick up the water challenge

@aleahurst you are right it is day 6 of 6 & we did it!

@rdevol this Is where you improve your mindset & behaviors. I have been working at it for along time - lots of reading to find the tools I can use to be the real me. Best & hardest part of the journey! @jessiquoi - so proud your working to stay at it in a rough patch. That is when you are truly winning & your an…

2 days of under calorie goal - first time in months! Was tempted with us eating out but I halved the serving & planned the calories. When tempted I remembered my 6 day challenge

@aleahurst I will so take that challenge - 1 day below calorie limit yesterday so 1 of 6 success!

I used to hike when I was younger & it is my goal for losing weight & get strong enough to go hiking again. I found this book called 'rickety knees hiking guide' - tried a few of the easier trails! Proud but so far I want to go!

Well the many months of just not giving up but not quite doing things the way they need to be for success are starting to resolve! I'm starting to want to stick to my calorie limits again!

Hello all, I'm almost the posted age at 52 but love the energy & focus. I seem to have many of the same life issues & hope to join!

Hello all - happy march! I have fluctuated for 6 months on the same 3 pounds. My behavior of course. Feb goal was to not give up & I did not! This month is to get 64oz of water. Never in my life have I drank water. I also gave up coffee last month after a lifetime because it made me feel bad so I listened to my body! Jess…

I love this group & decided to post & not just lurk. Been a slow path for weight loss 22 pounds last year but large in dealing with the mental stuff on this journey of controlling stress eating & selfesteen. Been losing & gaining the same few pounds for the last 6 months with self- sabotage. My beautiful behavior is too…

Would love to join. Ty

No I don't believe I am using it for the high of weight loss. I have lost 24 but have s long way to go. It almost seems like a problem with success. Like I can't have it.

I have tried many pills because so convenient but the hormonal side effects literally made me feel insane & migraines. I had to give up using them after many types & brands tried over 3 years. They don't work for everyone.

April! I made my March goal of staying off online gaming & day 39 today! First time in 6 years. Starting to get enough focus back to start watching my calories again. Did not gain any & only lost abit! Apparently it takes at least 90 days or more to detox a hardcore gamer like myself. So April goals - continue detox &…

Hey all, today is 3 weeks off all games! First time in 6 years. My eating plan is not great but my focus is on managing the game stuff. Found a small web site to assist. Very little on this in US. They are arguing if real or not - so ex gamers are setting stuff up to help themselves & others. Also some families who have…

thank you for the words of hope Becca and ideas. It seems you understand the loss of life from that escapism habit. I am in reality now and it is a fearful thing to reconnect and so many things that have to be fixed from years of avoidance. How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. My husband are talking like we have…

Hello all, I have been reading the posts but mainly in the catch up position. Here is a book for introduction. Something about me....50yr and in the PNW. We too had the windstorms and trees down everywhere. We lose power so much the lost groceries were more than a generator so now the power outages are not as rough. I have…

Welcome new folks!

Plz add me to this lovely group! Northwest region. Big goal but no specific time frame cause im making small steps. Ofc faster is better!

Well I evaluated my feb goal of activity & only went twice. This was not quite the showing I was going for. I made excuses in my mind ( work 12+ hour days etc). Decided excuses were not going to fly & looked at what I did in my off time. Lo & behold if I reduce my online gaming time I will have workout time. So this week…

Hey all, looking for motivation for the journey but it's coming from within better than the first time when I started & stopped from lack of motivation. I don't feel the cravings for fast food ever since the day I watched the show "supersize me" & watched the extras too! You are totally right about the "full" is a comfort…

The journey is different now & hard to say how. It's quieter & calmer. I was off line for a severe work stress & in the midst of that I learned no one will take care of me but me & I deserve it. I am hoping that is the famous click to do it now! I set a small January goal - just log & nothing else. Did not have to lose or…

I'm here!

Restarted in Jan - my first small goal log for a month everyday - fits & starts but at 11 days straight. The added bonus of learning what I'm doing - 5 pounds down! Add me if someone wants a journey buddy!

Thanks for the responses! Further luck on our journeys

Hello, I don't quite have the success story yet but I read this post and love the comments. I wish to congradulate all that have found the right path for them. MFP works and I know it, however, I don't stick to it for the time the process needs. Many of you post about it being easier finally and you found determination or…
