It really fascinates me that everyone has their proven method of what works for them. Some eat more often, some eat less often, some eat more protein and less carbs, some eat early and not late and then some don't eat early but eat late, some eat no dairy, some eat lots of dairy and then some are vegan. I have truly come…

I felt that way an hour ago. I had small baggie of almonds that I premake from home and bring to work. Ate them all and drank large glass of ice water. Walked around office for about 5 minutes. Came back to my desk and I feel pretty good.

AubreyWestwood - Remember you are doing it for you! Also I agree with JanetMMcC -- tell us, we will be your cheerleaders. I love having the MFP community behind me on my journey. It is amazing to have everyone tell you what a good job and keep up the good work.

I agree with drajel -- start today with logging everyday and seeing where your weakness and strengths are. Took me a couple weeks of logging and tracking everything to really have a good handle on it. Then by March you'll have all this out of the way and really hit the ground running :-)

diannemcal - To add someone, when you see their picture on left under their name if you move your cursor on it it becomes a hand. Select it. Then it will open another page. Select their name again and you should get even another page and it will have "send message" or "add as friend" . Feel free to add me too :-)

I agree with rabbitjb. I wish I would have taken a good look at myself in my 40's and realized I needed to get off the couch and do something. But the good thing is I have realized and I am now on the right path. Good luck to you on your journey. Strive for progress, not perfection!

Katia – I also have an Aunt on my dad’s side with MS. She’s was diagnosed probably 40 years ago and has been wheelchair bound for at least the last 20 years. That forced us to do a lot of research in the beginning of DD’s diagnosis. There are so many medicine options and breakthroughs now compared to 20 years ago. But it…

Katia49 - French Spaniel is not an AKC breed. We got her from Breeder in Quebec. Amazing dog. Looks like cross between a Brittany and English Setter. Margaretturk- Great garden pics to get us all in the mood for spring, no matter what it may look like outside our window. DamitJanit - Have fun on your cruise. Our next…

DrKatieubg - Thanks for the book recommendation, sounds pretty good. GodMomKim - Facetime has been a great help. We try to do it couple times a week. I went up in September and she's hoping to come down in March. counting the days.... Karen - So awful to hear about daughter's friend committing suicide. What an awful…

Also, I love to read!!!! Mostly psychological thrillers/murder mysteries. Sanford, Patterson, Childs, Baldacci, Connelly, Jackson, DeMille, and many more. DH loves to read military history. Guilty pleasure -- Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I don't care what people read - as long as they read. It's good for the…

Some seriously hard working people on this thread! CONGRATS to all!

When my daughter went away to college about 8 years ago I struggled with anxiety and depression. I have never had either of these but her moving away did it for me. That is also when I was going through the worst part of menopause and recently divorced. I went to my doctor and told her everything that was happening, even…
