  • I am way late to this party, but I'm pretty new to MFP - so my goal for the last 21 days of October - - walk every day at least 30 minutes - 100,000 steps I've been having some issues with my knees - going to the rheumatologist and probably getting a cortisone shot in one or both knees which will help. So I'm just ramping…

  • My goals for Oct 3-9 - 1. Log every day into MFP; 2. two walks over 30 minutes (I try and walk almost every day for at least 30 - so this is 2 over 30); 3. stay within my sugar grams at least 5 of 7 days Keeping the goals simple, so I can meet them! Last week - I logged for 7 days - weight was down around 4 lbs (but first…

  • Thanks @SueSueDio for posting that link. I hope the OP reads it, too. So good to remember that it can be such a number of issues leading to weight loss and it's like stair steps, not a line. Basically I always have to "look backwards" to see the trend line in the ups and downs. I'm coming back to lose MORE weight after…

  • I was never formally diagnosed with Binge Eating Disorder, but that's only because it wasn't in the older versions of the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders.) But yeah, I fit the criteria. Food was my friend, my "lover" at times, etc. etc. - I had bingeing rituals that I guarded jealously…

  • Hi Julianne - I understand the "eat until I burst" part. But good grief - baby formula from condensed milk and Karo syrup? Yikes. I cannot imagine that. I know that the idea of killing an instinct is attractive and I wish I could do that, too, but I've come to realize that the best I can do is live with myself, with plenty…

  • Geez, this is kindof hard! 1. I love my mouth - it's a pretty mouth! 2. I love my toenails and my feet - especially after a pedicure 3. I love my strong legs that get me where I want to go 4. I love my boobs - always had large breasts and even though they sag (duh), they are still nicely shaped 5. I love my hair - slowly…

  • My goal for this week is to begin tracking using MFP both food and exercise. I'll weigh next Sunday or Monday (not sure yet) and measure. Today, Monday 9/26 - I met my goal. Yay me!

  • Hi, I'm Laura - I guess I'm a woman of a certain age (!) - I'll be 59 next month. I like the idea of daily accountability or at least a commitment on Mondays. I'll post something over there in a few minutes. I was on WW and I basically know how to eat and I believe in moderation (generally . . .) so I am not cutting out…
