Glad to hear the advice that measurements and weight are both important measures of health success. It is easy to weigh myself, but hard to to measure myself. Real need another person to help. I will figure this out.

Thank you for the links to the two articles. Some of the best I have read. I never could consistently avoid "craving eating". I could never walk past the candy dish without taking one. I always told people I was on the "See-food" diet, I would see food and eat food. I read about mindless eating, and self control, and…

Since I have been making the transition from sitting all day and only taking @ 1200 - 1300 steps a day to getting up and moving more. I am building up my activity slowly.

I thought I would make it a goal to walk that many miles this year on flat level ground from the comforts at home. I started paying attention to my fitbit steps and found to my…

I used Spark People successfully from 2014 to 2017 to lose 50 # and keep it off. When then I got busy and did not stay as active as I should have while I left a job and opened a business and had just so many things to do. The weight crept on then came streaming back. I tried to reconnect with Spark People in 2021 and was…

I am going to join

Way to go. It took a lot of effort to get to where you are. Now you know you can do almost anything.

I am coming from SparkPeople too. Getting settled in with the differences. It is nice to get to know some of the other SP on MFP.
