wow, didn't mean to kill the topic!

I apologize in advance if this is too long, but needed to share a bit. I was on MFP in the beginning of 2012, and worked hard at it for a long time. At my heaviest weight, I weighed 250 lbs, when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Through all of that, I lost about 25 lbs, and then decided I was tired of being tired, sore,…

Count me in! I had lost 57 pounds over the course of a few years due to breast cancer and other issues, but over the last year I have put back on about 25. I had several traumatic life events that happened in the last year and I reverted to old habits of stress eating, etc. I need help and motivation to stick to healthy…

I haven't read through the total 5 pages of comments, so not sure if it has been mentioned or not yet. I keep an old 64 oz. juice bottle and I fill it up each morning. Then I make sure I drink it all during that day. Some days that is all the water I will drink, but other days I drink more. For example, I have already…

but would you log it in your exercise as walking or hiking? I guess that is my main question.... I'm not sure how to log it. I love walking through the woods, though. I take my husky with me and we walk until I get too tired to go anymore. We have a beautiful lake, and the trail takes us all the way around the lake, up…

I just saw this topic, but would like to join in. This is what I have so far this week: Monday - 80 minutes, walking & gardening Tuesday - 35 mins, walking Wednesday - 40 mins, walking Friday - 55 mins, hiking Total to date (9/14) 210 mins

I live in Pensacola.... not too far from you!

Starburst crazy beans.....actually, any kind of fruity jelly beans.... Easter is my worst season! :-) Skittles my ultimate kryptonite..... Sweet & Sour filled Twizzlers.... I can eat the whole bag in one sitting! marshmallow-type candy

I am at my lowest point when I'm exhausted....physically, mentally, & emotionally. Then I just don't care what I eat, or how much.

I don't like the taste of green tea either. I do like Sleepy Time tea by Celestial Seasonings. I found a Sleepy Time Green, which is a blend of the original Sleepy Time plus green tea. I like that pretty well, and keep a pitcher of it in the fridge all the time. I use 6 tea bags, boil them up and make a 2 quart pitcher of…

Good for you! I had a similar epiphany 2 days ago, after a huge fight with my spouse. Normally I would dive head-first into a bag of jelly-beans... and I didn't! I didn't eat any junk food at all! I think it might finally be sinking in!

I never really liked diet sodas that much. What I do use is MIO, and just put it in my water. I drink it all day long. Does anyone else use this product, or maybe some type of Crystal Light type of drink?

I am late in joining this thread, but would love to try and do this challenge with you all. I don't have my weight from March 30th, but I did weigh this morning. So I will just jump in now. Friday, April 6th: 202.2 Friday, April 13th: Friday, April 20th: Friday, April 27th:

sending you a friend request...

I'm new here too. I have lost about 48 pounds over the last couple of years, but still need to lose about 50 - 55 more pounds. Would love to have some new friends for help / support / encouragement. Please feel free to add me, anyone! Thanks, and God Bless!

Praying for your grand-daughter, and for you. I completely understand about eating when you are stressed. My oldest son is in Afghanistan. I spoke with him a couple of weeks ago and he told me that had taken some pretty heavy fire. I have been stress eating jelly beans like crazy! trying to keep on top of it though with…

I've never heard of this; of course, I'm fairly new to this site. :-) Could someone give me some more info? Thanks!
