Feel free to add me. I try to log on every day.

I'm here most days when I'm not traveling. I know how important good support is to one's journey. Feel free to add me! I am trying to re-loose the 60 lbs I lost before. Determined to take it off and keep it off.

I'm in the same boat. Lost 180 lbs. Fell into a slump and gained back 65 lbs over 5 years. Determined to get back to where I was and actually get to my goal. Still have a way to go, but I know I can do it with support. Don't give up!

Frisco! Just north of Dallas.

I've been MIA while on vacation the last 2 weeks. It was very challenging. Ready to get back on track. Have not had a chance to read all I've missed. Welcome to all the new posters. Jenn

If you are afraid to have a serious conversation with your "boyfriend", what does that say about you? Relationships are all about communication. Good and bad. You should never be afraid to say anything to someone you love. He wants to live alone, yet he lives with his parents means he is comfortable with the way things are…

Vicki, Keeping you and your family in my prayers. Jenn

Today has been a good, productive day. Gathered all things needing to go to the dry cleaners for my trip and dropped them off. Cleaned out 4 of my hubby's drawers... not sure why he feels the need to keep 40 pairs of socks; many with holes in the toes. He is such a pack-rat. I sent 10 resumes to some interesting jobs that…

So sorry for being MIA the last couple of days. DH was sick and of course, I came down with the bug on Monday. Feeling much better today. I didn't get to read all the posts, but want to welcome all the newbies that I missed. Sue in TX - I will send you a few of my favorite Crock Pot fixings. Sue in SD - Enjoy your last…

I have spent several hours this afternoon cleaning out my closet. I can't believe how many things I have held on to that, even if I hadn't gained weight, I would not wear. Purged all of those things and now have plenty of room to hang up things I've stuffed in storage containers under my bed. It feels good. It also gave me…

For two days now, I have clicked that I'm through with my food diary, but it doesn't complete. Not sure what's going on. Welcome to all the newbies! Hope you post often. Loving this cool weather. It was in the 50's yesterday and this morning I woke up to a brisk 48 degrees. A big change from the high 80's we've been…

Good Friday Morning to everyone. It's been a productive morning so far. I did the obligatory cleaning before our cleaning service showed up. Every spring and fall I get someone to come in and do a very very deep cleaning. Helps me keep things cleaner myself during the year. They are here now, so I have a few minutes to…

You're on the right track. There are lots of great people with many success stories. I totally agree to not fall into the 1200 calorie diet plan. You have to recognize what your body needs and how many calories work for you. Take things slow. Feel free to add me.

Hello and welcome to MFP! You've come to the right spot. I'm fairly new to this site as well but quickly found out there are many inspiring and supportive people here. Feel free to add me.

Welcome to all the newbies! Not much time to write, but wanted to get my Oct Goals in place. 1. Lose 4 lbs before leaving on vacation Oct 23. 2. No gain on vacation 3. Eat more veggies. 4. Up my water intake. Hope everyone has a great evening! Jenn

I've had them a number of times. I love using the Angel Hair type when making "stir fried" veggies with shrimp or chicken. They seem to take on a lot of the flavors of the spices. I did use them instead of spaghetti noodles once and just couldn't eat them. And I agree, be prepared for the strong smell. You have to rinse…

Good morning all! Hope everyone had a restful evening. Woke up this morning one pound lighter, so it's a great day! Nice to see that drop after almost a week of no movement. I was becoming a little worried. Sandy- I leave on the 23rd for Puerto Rico. My DH and I are cruisers and go at least once a year with a group of…

I know exactly what you mean. Your story sounds very familiar to me. And You've come to the right place. I'm a newbie as well, but have found many very caring, supportive people and groups. I don't think I would have come this far without them.

Happy October everyone. 22 more days before I leave for my vacation. I really would like to be a few pounds lighter, but I know I won't get there unless I get up and get moving. So I am going for a walk tonight. Hope everyone has a great evening!

Critter Sue, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Give yourself time to grieve. They are just as much family (and many times more so) as our blood relatives. Always loving and loyal. You are in my prayers. Jenn

Sorry I've been MIA the last few days. So much going on over the weekend that I hardly had any "me" time. Jane- I totally agree that time flies way too fast. Where did Sept go? Love the cute new pic. Heather - so jealous. Wish I could be with you. Oh how I love Rome. Meg- Good for you. Have to stand up for what is right.…

Welcome back! Congratulations on your loss so far. You're on your way. But I agree, having support always helps.

Good Morning All! Joyce - I'm so sorry for your loss. I know your MIL was fortunate to have you and the rest of the family by her side. Take care of yourself during this difficult time so that you may remain strong for everyone else. You are in my prayers. Sue - Nice to meet you neighbor. I was extremely busy yesterday and…

Well the interview went very well. I wasn't sure about the job at first, but now I think I really want it. Both of the directors I interviewed with were very down to earth. We talked for an hour and then they took me on a tour. I met many of the people I would be working with. I've never been introduced to people before…

Good Morning all! Been up since 5 this morning. Didn't sleep well. Guess I'm nervous about my interview this afternoon. I fed and walked our babies (a chocolate lab- Moose; and German Shepard - Shep). Well Moose walked me and Shep, who has lots of hip issues, walked slowly behind us. Went back to my grocery store this…

Jane. So nice to meet you. I am so happy to have found this site and this group. What a great bunch and so supportive. I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone. :-) Jenn

Pat, Very nice to meet you. Glad we both woke up and are back on the right track. It helps to know someone else that has travelled down the same path. We can do this!! Jenn

It was a busy day. Worked doing the billing for my husband's company and handled a few issues for him as well. Then I went to the grocery store and stocked my new fridge. All fresh veggies, lean ground beef and turkey, boneless skinless chicken and some shrimp for dinner tomorrow. Got things ready for my interview tomorrow…

Thank you all for the warm welcome. Still trying to read a few of the past posts to get caught up. Katia - have a safe trip. Jane - I think it's a good thing we recognized the emotional eating syndrome. Now that I've recognized it, I am more conscience of how and when I eat. Trying to turn things around. Still early in the…
