yahoo.... I found my way back to your board....

I'd love to have a motivator... I've been on MFP for 3-4 years.... when I get a friend they either have 30 friends and don't communicate often enough or they quit MFP...I rarely miss a day.... and it freaks me out when I do and have to start my day count over.... lol

I lost 50 and have gained 25 back... Started again last week. I'm looking for a pal too. If you are interested in daily encouragement I'd love to be your pal. I'm not looking for a lot of pals I can't keep up with - just one.....

I am 65, happily married to one, mother of 5, grandmother to 13 and friend to many. I have type 2 diabetes. I lost 50 pounds last year but have managed to gain back half of it. I'm looking for a fitness pal buddy. Someone who is willing to message me at least once a day with encouragement or questions about our…

Hello, my name is Joyce. I've been on myfitnesspal for a couple years and it is wonderful when I am faithful. I lost 50 pounds from October to July - I don't think I went over my goal EVER! THEN-we went on vacation to the beach with my daughters family. I thought "what would one weekend hurt? I never went back- after our…

not sure I'm doing this right... never been in a discussion before.... how will I know if what I say gets seen or how will I know when something new is said?

I can't agree more... my cheat day started June 26th and is still going.... I was so proud too - I lost 51 pounds from October to June and now have gained 11 back. Seems that one little cheat just opened the floodgates. The first day did no harm so I kept nibbling and got in all the old habits again. Very depressed and…

I love it! I'm swimming right here beside you!!!

I don't know you but I am incredibly proud of what you have done. You are insuring yourself to be with your family and be able to enjoy them and have a better life and health. It is hard but worth the fight..... good good good for you!

problem is if you cheat on purpose and your weight goes up when it could have gone down...who have you cheated?

I don't like the shakes either. I like the crunch and texture of food. My husbands theory was always that he could bring anything he wanted into the house and it was up to me NOT to eat it! I eventually learned to trick him. I 'd cook lots of his favorites but modify them so I could eat, then I'd take small portions and…

I'll trade you scales! lol

no... don't listen to that!

I know what you mean... I have a friend who is a great help. I've been here for a while and it is a great help but honestly every day I feel just like you. Every day I need help. If you'd like me for a partner here just ask me to be your friend. Good luck.... one day - one meal - one victory at a time.....

I love the list of helps..... I especially loved this one Buffets are intended for you to have choices, not to eat the whole thing!

I'd love to be your encouragement partner during our journey MFP. I have no choice but to succeed. I am 63. If you'd rather have a younger partner that's ok....but I'd be a good one! Joyce
