@TeresaW1020 Cracker Barrel with your mom sounds fun! I have so much trouble in that store. I want to buy all the cute things!! And 100 (now 99) days left of 2020? Wow. @Katmary71 I am sad to heard you’re not seeing results with Paleo. Maybe you’re just in a plateau? Paleo seems so difficult to me. I really enjoy potatoes…

Hi Everyone. Apparently my weigh in post last week didn't take. Oh well. I went up a lb last week anyway. But here I am to weigh in this week! Down a little bit. Things here are hard. Everyone is mostly ok. We've had a visit from CPS due to my daughter acting out at school. I have been going to the gym but also eating…

@TeresaW1020 Thanks helping me feel less alone with my daughter. I worry about her so much. Thanks for the shout out too! I found y’all just as I came back to MFP. It was nice to see a loss my first week back. @Twistedsassette Thanks for the hugs. I felt them. @Katmary71 Thanks for the prayers. I felt those too. I was a…

@Katmary71 and @TwistedSassette I do go to the gym with my dad. He moved in with me in Nov 2019. He wants to drive and work, but he was diagnosed with Major Cognitive Disorder (dementia) earlier this year. If we don’t go to the gym every day, he starts asking for his keys. When he asks for his keys, we go through the whole…

Hi All, I’m Beth. I am newly returned to MFP. I’ve gained over 50lbs since taking over caring for my dad in Nov 2019. He moved in, then COVID happened, then mom moved in too and hubs and I cleaned out their 2,609 Aw ft hoarder house of horrors ourselves. It’s been an emotional year. Hubs is my second marriage. We have 4…

Hello All, @katmary71 I am really enjoying your status updates! Even when I can’t get in here I enjoy taking 5 seconds to read what you’ve posted throughout the day. I am sorry to hear you’re unable to do the fitness routines you enjoy. I hope you’ll be back to doing them soon! I also struggle with depression. Is coming…

@raleighgirl09 I when my water intake is up, everything else follows too. Who knew water was important? :D @vegan4lyfe2012 I have that same problem with soda and sweets. It’s like they stimulate my brain and I end up with obsessive thoughts about them. It was so great to see all the stats posted from Aug today! Congrats to…

@AlexandraFindsHerself1971 I can understand that. I always knew dementia was a possibility for dad because my grandfather had it. I am an only child so I knew it would be me helping if they needed help. I just didn't think it would be so early (they are both in their 60s) and I thought mom was much more self reliant then…

@NovusDies That is close! I am glad to hear she got her wish. I agree that I need to take care of myself first so I can take care of the others. It's just hard to get things to work out that way sometimes. I think having my own thing here in the groups will help. Y'all understand how mentally difficult it can be to stay on…

Hi All, I am excited about this challenge! I didn’t join anything like this my last go around on MFP. My name is Beth if you haven’t guessed that already. I live in the DFW area of Texas with my husband, our blended family of 4 kids (ages 15, 14, 8, and 3), my parents, 3 dogs, and one cat. Yes, it’s busy at my house! I am…

Hi All, I am excited about this challenge! I didn’t join anything like this my last go around on MFP. It will be great to have a supportive community trying to do the same things I am doing. I have great friends here but we are all so busy it’s hard to find time to walk or even chat with each other. My name is Beth if you…

Hello all. I'm Beth. I am 36 and 276 lbs. I am married with 4 kids (ages 15, 14, 8 and 3) and my parents moved in with us this year. Being in the sandwich generation is no joke, y'all. I have gained over 50 lbs this year after my dad got sick and moved in with us Nov 2019. It's been very emotional, especially when you add…
