You are so sweet to think of me! I considered what you wrote about exercising doing what I LIKE, not what I think I OUGHT to do -- good consideration. I even tried to find some exercise personality quizzes, but they were mostly a waste of time. From my own perspective, however (which is always the best, anyway, right?), I…

Love the Margarita idea! Tomorrow is my 36th anniversary, and we're going out for just one!

I DID get my infused water made (one of my goals for Friday), and drank a full half-gallon of that and decaf iced tea. Yay! Missed goals for yesterday, though -- not a good day at all, for many reasons. Does anyone else have a problem with taking Metformin for Type 2 Diabetes? That stuff makes me MISERABLE. I won't go into…

GREAT goals! (Inspiring for me -- especially worrying about the "lazy" part and brushing before bed. Why is that so hard?!) You must be in the US south, huh? I'm on the TX Gulf Coast, and heat and humidity are definite inhibitors for walking -- even in the early morning or late evening. Mosquitos!

Didn't make my yoga goal this morning. Keeping it simple to start, but even simple goals seem to be too much for me right now. I slept until 8 tonight. Depressed, I guess.

Hi Joan -- Thanks for this thread! I've just joined and am NO expert on weight loss techniques, but your comment about protein intake at each meal caught my attention. I had a nutritionist recently tell me that proteins like oatmeal (plant-based, higher in protein than other plant-based grains, but not a complete protein…

Just found this thread after joining MFP a couple of days ago. Thanks for being here! Just for today - do my morning hatha yoga stretches.

Have just joined MFP, and am cruising around looking for support. I'd especially like a group for those of us dealing with mental health and weight loss. I love this thread, and will participate, but @thefoodaddict, have you thought about making this a group?

Mood stabilization medications and their side effects. Have put on almost 100 lbs in the last 18 years due to Abilify and Depakote for Bipolar Disorder. Doctors and nutritionists repeatedly advised me to count calories and exercise, but when you're depressed, both of those things are very hard to do. Not really making…

Super, Violet! Adding you now. (It sounds like we have quite a bit in common.) Congrats on your 2 week loss of 6 pounds!! That sounds like a pretty healthy rate.

Thanks Jo! I'll be adding you (as soon as I figure out how ;-) ).

The diagram that @jgnatca posted above is the one that I was recently given by a new nutritionist. It has apparently replaced the standard food pyramid with an eye toward simplicity. Check out choosemyplate.gov. This is an interesting conversation. I have picked up a copy of the Insulin Resistance Diet, and have read the…
