Always appreciate the thread @RavenStCloud I have been using MFP consecutively since end of November. I am down 30 pounds. I have also kept up a regular walking schedule that has helped so much for both my physical and mental health. I think I would safely say I am an empath. I am like a sponge and soak up other peoples…

Hi Everyone, When I was dong a review of my monthly intake on the charts my sugar and fat is needing to come down. Anyone out there have a homemade recipe for a salad dressing that is under 30 calories per tbs? I know oils, like olive oil or coconut oil are good for you. Been using alot of Kraft low calorie and its adding…

Bravo 🎉, you are down 4.5 since the beginning of the month, managed another week of Covid restrictions ( which province are you from?) and demonstrated a lot of insight into what’s going on for you. Not the ting to “ silver…

@tiffdaski glad you and your family are on the mend. That feeling right before you have gotten rid of the sluggishness and bloating feeling is so hard. Progress is such a big part of all the things that you do in this journey including pressing the reset button as you have. Totally up to you of course when you weigh in but…

Hi everyone, bought a pair of jeans a few weeks ago and realized they are too big :) So just bought a size 14 and they arrived yesterday <3 Weight is coming off but just did another readjust to the scale number as always catching myself with the "dreaded lean". It is part of the process for me so feel I need to be…

SammiGirl1321 such a beautiful profile picture of you and your babies.Happy Mother's Day.

Hi Cari, same thing happened to my daughter, they were lucky to find a place but for sure stressful. They live in London ( Crouch End). Great progress on your weight loss.

Welcome to all the new and returning people. What I really notice in what you are sharing is your insight into where you are at. I am the Queen of the reset button. It is so much more than the weight its the messaging around the whole process. There are so many nuggets of wisdom in everybody's stories. I recommend you go…

@speyerj My husband started along with me and is now is at 185. He doesn't want to go lower.. To maintain is it about eating the same healthy choices but also adding more calories? It have been great to have the company and support to do this as we log together each day . Also lovely to have my daughter Sarah join too.…

Absolutely love these. Thank you so much for the post @speyerj There were a couple of revelations along the way that I saved to a word document to remind myself when I get discouraged. I know some of you have seen them before, so forgive me if I am repeating myself" "The shame I felt for losing and then regaining 100…

@uylster and @speyerj both your posts are so inspirational like many others that motivate me every day. I wake up in the morning first thing and read the posts and visualize my day and my goal. I often go back and re read something that I needed to hear. For some of us who have joined within the last few months, would you…

@misplacedmama what an absolutely amazing post. So true. A resounding YES 👏 What a wonderful way to start my day. Thank you for sharing💪🏼❤️

Arralethe, thanks for the reply. I am accurate about the logging of the food and exercise. Think the scale has been more mentally challenging, probably from 50 years of unhealthy focus on weight loss. Hopeful last wall to tear down. Excited that this is the year for lasting change. Was glad I was able to adjust it by the 4…
