Welcome :flowerforyou: Though I'm not new, I'm wondering the same :huh: And I love MFP, too :drinker:

Try drinking a big glass of water and see if that helps you out. If it doesn't grab a 1/2 cup of almonds, peanuts, walnuts etc (if you aren't allergic of course :wink: ) Nuts are a good fat and often help to curb your hunger. Also, protein is a good filler. Hope I was of some help :happy: :flowerforyou: Teresa

Hello Catherine! Just remember that you can do anything you put your mind to!!! You can AND will win this struggle! I'd be more than happy to be a cheerleader for you...so feel free to add me if you'd like :drinker: Good luck on your mission!!! :flowerforyou: Teresa

Hi there! Since H2O expands when it freezes I'd guess you'd be good with estimating them being about the same. Have you tried putting lemons in your water? I have a hard time drinking my allotted amount if I don't stick some lemon slices in it :) My favorite is crushed ice, water & lemon :heart: Hope I was of a little help…

Hello & welcome to MFP (and dieting)...nice to have you :happy: I'm not from Scotland, but feel free to add me as a friend. I love to encourage & be encouraged :drinker: Good luck with your mission :glasses: :flowerforyou: Teresa

I wish I could have warned you....as a friend of mine had done the same :ohwell:

Welcome!!!

Well, now that you have successfully avoided one issue (dogs that bite), beware of another...wrecked knees! It is amazing that you get to walk/jog/run in the mountains, but just be careful running DOWN. This is what can put a huge strain on your knees. We want you to be able to continue your morning intervals, so be sure…

Welcome to MFP & our little group :flowerforyou: Teresa

Just thought I'd check in to see how everyone is doing :flowerforyou: Personally I am doing well and feeling great...I hope this goes for the rest of you!!! Keep up the good (hard) work :drinker:

Welcome to MFP, Bev :flowerforyou: Best wishes to you for your weightloss goals!!! :happy:

Welcome to you, jennlabori!!!

I'm not 5'7" or 5'8", so I hope you don't mind me posting :wink: My current weight is 169 and I am 5'9". I, too, was blessed with a lot of muscle. It has been frustrating always being tall and "big boned", because I always thought I had to be rail thin to be happy. Silly me! People have always commented on how shapely my…

We'd love for you to join us...WELCOME :flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Welcome :flowerforyou: That is wonderful that you have set goals for yourself!!! Good for you & good luck...you CAN do it :happy:

Hello & welcome to MFP :flowerforyou: Feel free to join our brand new group "The F.O.C.U.S.E.D. Group" :glasses: What have you found that you like the most about this site? Good luck with your goals...we're here for ya!!! :happy: It is so much easier to keep going when you have people who believe in you :happy:

Okay, so I'm being a temporary nerd...:blushing: ...we could call ourselves: The F.O.C.U.S.E.D. Group Finding Our way, Collectively, to Unbelievable Success that Each of us Desires (and deserves)! What can I say, I teach 4-year-olds :happy: I hope everyone is having a great (successful) day!!! Teresa

To find posts that you have created/commented on just go to 'COMMUNITY' at the top of your page and then click on 'MY TOPICS'. From there you'll be able to pick out which one you want :) Hope I was of some help!

The best time to start!!!

Patricia184...here we go :drinker: Pollart77...I agree completely :happy: Mestisa77...welcome :flowerforyou:

Hello there and welcome :flowerforyou: I felt the same when I first joined...that most of the groups have been going for a while. I'd love to join you in your quest!

At least the 3 of us realize that it is something worth coming back to :happy: Moniera, that is great that you won't give up...good for you! :flowerforyou: I'm trying not to either! I'm thinking the thing we will do differently is STICKING WITH IT this time around...we can do it :glasses:

Welcome back!!! I just rejoined as well :) Good luck and best wishes...keep your eye on the prize (looking great in the bridesmaid dress)!

Just a piece of advice...be sure that you are weighing yourself on the same day of the week at the same time of day. That is probably the best way to get the most "accurate" reading...it has worked for me at least :happy:

That certainly wasn't an appropriate thing to say...insert foot in mouth is right! I'm thinking he was feeling bad about himself and needed to put someone else down to feel better :noway: To heck with him...you are doing a great job! Keep it up!!! :drinker:

I teach 4-year-old Kindergarten. They can be a handful, but it is fun. I used to think that I had to sit down and have snack with them. Now I straighten the book shelves, get things ready for an upcoming project, etc...anything to keep me busy and free from snacking :bigsmile:

Welcome! I've also been here for about a week and I totally agree with you. It really makes me think about each and everything I eat. I find myself eating things more for nutritional value than just because I like it. When the kiddos are having snack (I'm a teacher) I'm not tempted to have a little of whatever they are…

Thank you for the welcome, Lauramg :happy: and the wish of good luck. Good luck to you as well...it looks as though you are already doing a GREAT job!!! Keep it up :drinker:
