The fact that he moved on so quickly says a lot about him. I'd say you dodged a bullet. Be thankful and go on your merry way.

Why talk about it at all when it's brought up in conversation, or broadcast it here if it's nobody else's business but your own?

I had been a yo-yo dieter for over 35 years. I couldn't understand why I would gain all the weight back plus more EVERY time I lost it. Finally I found the answer in a book called "Eating Less, Say Goodbye to Overeating" by Gillian Riley. Making weight loss the goal, dieting, counting calories may work to get the weight…

You are right. MFP doesn't work. Oh, you can lose weight using MFP, but your chances of keeping the weight off are slim. I've been on MFP for years. I've had significant weight loss but gained it all back. All my MFP friends have either gained their weight back or are still struggling along trying to lose. Until I realized…

And sometimes we wish you would! B)

I'm 58. My parents and their generation, and even a lot of people from my generation had the preconceived notion that once you were a certain age, your body just wore out. It was your destiny to barely be able to get out of bed in the morning and hobble around all day because you had so many aches and pains. You were ready…

I just turned 58. At age 55 I lost roughly 45 pounds and was in the best shape of my life. I got out of shape again and gained all the weight back. I'm working to get strong again, but for the first time the weight is just not budging. I've been on MFP off and on for about 5 years.

You are absolutely right! Research is now beginning to prove that dieting can lead to being overweight, and in some cases be the cause of eating disorders. I've been on MFP for 6 years now. I've lost weight (50 pounds), been at goal, and gained it all back TWICE in that period of time. Not only that, but all my MFP friends…

This is the smartest thing I've ever read on MFP!

Being short has its advantages. At 5'1" tall I only need to lose 5 pounds to go down a size.
