Welcome! Although I am not one, there are lots of cancer survivors on MFP. Search the message boards, you may be able to hook up with fellow survivors. And best wishes on your journey!

Welcome back! Its a journey, not a race. Do your best to feel your best. Good luck!! :)

So much GaGa on my playlist!!! Also love Ricky Martin (circa Living La Vida Loca), J Lo - On the Floor and Just Dance, Duran Duran - The Reflex, Kanye West - Heard Em Say, and lots of Michael Jackson!!!

Love that you have Disturbed AND That's Not My Name! Ah, the magic that is the iPod!!!

I don't think it sounds unreasonable, but how you feel in your clothes and in your own skin is just as important (or more) than simply a number on a scale. Being an active and healthy 119 would be wayyyy better than an unhealthy 110! So while it is an important guide, consider more than just the scale. And good luck!! :)

Welcome & best wishes on your journey!

Yes! C25k will work wonders! Good luck!!

Set a good example for them! Ask them to join you on walks, and be sure that your grocery contributions are good ones with plenty to share! You could even offer to do the cooking a night (or a few) a week, and share your new healthy approach!!

Amen! Don't delay!! If you were motivated enough to set up your account, then don't lose your momentum. And it is also great advice to start with short walks, and increase them in reasonable intervals. Best of luck on your journey!

Bonjour!! Welcome! Best of luck.

Welcome! And be honest with your food journal!! Don't only log the good parts. If you bite it, write it! Good luck!!

Welcome! Best wishes on your journey!!

You're sabotaging you own plan! Why didn't you tell him?

C25k = Couch to 5k walking/running program (it's awesome, by the way or "btw" for short - check it out!!).

Anything freshly baked!

Interested to hear what people say, I'm looking into a Bodybugg too. A friend has one and an app on her phone, she wears it all day everyday, I'm not 100% ready for that commitment, but would really like one to help me monitor my runs and workouts. Thanks for the post!

Welcome! The idea here is to improve your overall health by tracking calories taken in and calories spent. If you bite it write it is one common saying around here, meaning that you simply log anything you eat! Try to eat whole grains, fruits and vegetables, and make sure you are getting enough lean protein. The daily goal…

Stress eater!

Have you tried massage or yoga?

I'm a bit obsessive, and I'm on the scale EVERY day. I don't count a gain or loss until I've been at that same # for 2 consecutive days. That's just what works for me.

Welcome and good luck!!!

Welcome! Good luck on your journey!! This is a great site for tracking and accountability.

Sometimes your own journals can be your best meal plan. Look back through your food diaries to the times when you were losing, and see what you were and were not eating then.

Ditto!

I'm just glad you said ham and not an apple pie!!!

New winner!
