  • I"d move out... if you can afford it. Sounds like your Mom gets something out of sabbotaging you. If you can't move out, get a dorm fridge and clear out one cabinet as yours. Keep your food there, make your own meals. Make your own space within your Mom's space. I don't agree with the advice about having some self control.…

  • I got mine two weeks ago. Lost it after 5 days .... it popped off somewhere. I think it doesn't hold onto a pocket or a belt like it should and I don't wear a bra (probably the ideal place) since cross dressing went out of fashion. I tried to live without it for 3 days and realized that this was a device made for me (other…

  • Hi Bill here, I'll be 57 in a few weeks. I'd like to start taking better care of myself. I feel like I'm off to a good start with MFP. I also use a pedometer and it has motivated me to be more active. I set a new best day for steps yesterday. My dog really liked it because she walked with me quite a bit. Only two pounds…

  • I am edging toward high veg, some dairy and fish so near Pescatarian? Pescatarian curious? Hah! I am betting that MFP will be a great success for me so I am looking for friends. This is my first post and I am not sure how to do the friend thing but will give it a try.
