First of all, you're awesome for being the mother of 5 (wow, holy...) kids AND serving your country (Thank You). Secondly, I hope you find that strength within to take care of your body and take things one day at a time towards your goals. One thing I'm working on is my self-confidence and I'm trying to see things better…

So, this is the cool kids category, huh? Feel free to add me. I'll be 39 :D in a few days. I've just gotten back on MFP and I'm trying my best to be honest with myself and watch what I eat. Working towards a better, fitter me. Love and strength to you all.

Welcome aboard! I just returned to this after giving up for awhile. I forgot to just keep swimming. Figuratively, of course, but yeah... I'm ready to embrace this and move forward. Calories In, Calories Out. Combine that with some exercise and you'll be back on track. Best of luck to you. Take this one day, one meal at a…

Great point. Making a good habit begins with an honest effort every day. I think I can make that happen. Thank you for the kind words.

I love salty things, and I don't have high blood pressure or anything, but I really don't want to push it. I will be modest in my hot sauce adventures. I appreciate all of your suggestions though. You're a sweetheart, thank you for your time. Please add me! Would love to stay in touch.

Thanks! All these good ideas. I think the plan is to be consistent at good eating. Like you suggested, if I want a burger, pair it with some veggies. If I want pizza, try not to overdo it, or maybe combine it with veggies or something good. I also know that drinking my calories is not so good of an idea. I like coffee…

Thank you! I went to the doctor for a full physical earlier this month. I have a green light. Aside from being obese, I am healthy. That sounds weird, but it's what my doctor said. You are so kind to recommend this.

Thanks! I will look these over. Very helpful!

Wow, you've done really well with your weight loss! Great job. I'm not trying to over think this, but I appreciate the input. What kind of veggies do you like? How do you prepare them? How do you keep yourself from getting bored of them? Me... I'll eat anything but avocado. It just doesn't agree with me. But I like salads,…

Thank you for the response. I have been putting this off for quite some time. I would like to stay more engaged this time around. I agree that CICO is the best way to look at this. Talking (or typing) is just my way of trying to ask for some friends to look to for dietary habits - what foods will help me make better…

This is what worked for me the last time I tried. Caloric awareness (I like that). I run out of ideas to eat healthy, but that's no excuse. I just want to stay inspired by readily available mixes of different foods. Keeps things interesting. I need that.

Add me up please. I need to get some variety in my diet and love new ideas. Thanks!

Love your attitude man. I'm almost 39 and ready to start taking responsibility for my health. God knows I owe myself at least that much... also back on here for my second time. Just want to make good on positive habits. Add me if you like.

Good job getting back up. Always get back up. Add me if you like.

Nonono.... Danger's my middle name. :p Glad to see you on here to take control! Do work man. I'm just getting back to this myself. Boy do I need it as well. No kids, but I'm in my late 30s and I need to motivate. For health for me. Add me if you want. I need all the help I can get. Nutrition and exercise both need my…
