I think we all lose motivation sometime or another, what i do is read the success stories on here and try to put myself back in the mindset of why i started this journey in the beginning... If i find myself struggling, i do a pro con list, the pros of how i feel and look and the cons of how i felt and looked, and trust me…

Hi Carla, I am 50 also, i have 4 kids from ages 30 to 15,and 4 grand children 2 of which live with me as long as their parents. I started my weight loss on Jan 2nd but did not start here until around the end of Jan, It is a great site with lots of information and motivation.. I am married to a wonderful man who supports…

I love MFP for the message boards, they keep me motivated and on track.. Great job on your weight loss, having goals really help...

I have to say i LOVE this site, i love PB but with the calories i never eat it, but now i am on my way to get some... Thank you soooo much!!!!

I have never been a sweets craver but since starting this new eating regiment for some reason i do now, and here are a few things that i have found, sugar free angel food cake 77 calories for a quarter of the cake, sugar free cool whip, jello sugar free Mousse(chocolate indulgence) when i have the mousse i also put 2 TBLS…

Welcome to the site, i just love it here it has helped me out so much, keeps me on track and accountable...

what i have the worst time with is my granola mix, it has shredded coconut, dark chocolate m&ms, almond slivers, and french vanilla granola, i know it doesn't sound bad, but the french vanilla granola had 1000 calories for 2 cups, and i will eat 2 cups with everything in it... Just like today i probably had 1 cup of it and…

great job, you will do this!!!!

I have never been to nice to my scale, i know it wishes it had a better home. But lately i think it is rethinking it self, i have been playing nice for a few weeks now, so maybe it will learn to love me...

Well my story started when i was young, i lived with my grandma and she loved her fried foods, her morning breakfast was 2 fried eggs, toast with 3 or 4 pats of butter on it. So i ate what she did, she didn't know a thing about food or eating right, all 3 of my sisters were also over weight, we all ate what she cooked....…

YES i could tell, keep it up!!!!!!

Andy, you are a true inspiration to me, keep up the fantastic work and i hope tomorrow you see a number on that scale that makes you proud, i know any number will work for you... Keep posting your stories, i love reading how you are doing, and believe me, you make me want to work harder...

Yes absolutely it does, I am a high anxiety person also, and when i do exercise it makes me feel so much better....

Oh i sure do, i just have to realize that in time i will look in the mirror and see what i want to see, i love to try on cloths and when i see i am getting closer to getting the pants zipped, or buttoning a blouse then i know i am making progress. But i agree the mirror lies lots!!! LOL Keep up the great work!!!

I agree, i am on MFP so much more, i love the support i get on here, i love the motivation, on FB its a lot of complaining.. BORING MFP is the place to be....

Handsome guy, great job!!!!!!!!

No do not beat yourself up, i to had a bad weekend, but today is Monday and and a new day!!!!! But i must say after eating bad this weekend, i felt horrible, my tummy didn't do well with it, plus some of the old feeling of bloatiness, and feeling just yuck came back and i did not like that at all.... So good luck this…

we all need a support group, this is not a easy task... But i agree if you need a boost just let me know, i am a good listener....

My husband use to do that to me also, but i know he didn't do it purposely to sabotage me, he was just so used to eating that way WITH me that he didn't even think about it.. But with that said, after asking him to stop and he still does it, maybe there is a hidden reason he doesn't want you to lose weight, scared of the…

sadly enough yes, but i am bridging that gap, and when i do weigh less will be a great day!!!!! LOL
