You can absolutely get things on the right track! I started in my mid 50's and have had some ups and downs, but I stick with it just about every day. my A1C has gone down, my BP has gone down, and the weight is still a work in progress but I'm not where I used to be! but you do need to do it for you, not your husband, not…

Last year i made freezer jam. No canning skills required. Lots of recipes out there if you google it, just requires an investment in jars and some pectin. Enjoyed it all year long and gave some away as gifts! FYI i just bought some rhubarb at my local farmers market, it was lovely

I'd be happy to take her place! You're not forcing anyone to eat or drink, just offering options that YOU chose. When she hosts a party she can do as she chooses:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

You have come to the right place! :bigsmile: :bigsmile: Yes, sometimes there are snarky people who troll the threads, but 99% of the folks on here are super awesome! That being said, you do get out of it what you put into it, so start logging and start making MFP friends and you will find success at your own pace and…

Got hooked and went back to start from the beginning......... :heart: :heart: :heart:

You did the right thing by letting off steam in a safe environment. All before me have give some great responses, so I just want to say you are doing the right thing, your mom and friend are probably a "test" of your determination to succeed, and those 20lbs lost is a great testament to your strenght to see this through!!

I think you should go back and read your profile. I found it to be pretty inspirational in itself. I can tell you from struggling with this for over 55 years that You can't wish yourself thin, not pills, not surgery, not anybody but you can make this work. It's a one day, one minute at a time struggle. So today you eat…

Being diagnosed with type 2 is what set me on this path and this site. My A1C numbers have dropped, my daily sugars are under control, my bp and other numbefs have all improved and my dr is happy! I still have more to lose but its been a slow and steady drop with just a few bumps! Happy to share if you send me a friend…

I agree, the double doubles are a killer so when I do indulge, I get black, and add my own half and half....... Good news for any keurig owners, it looks like Timmy Ho's is now doing K cups YAY!!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

Yay! That's a great realization:drinker: :drinker:

Interesting idea, how does it work for you and how much do you spend weekly? monthly? just curious if you don't mind my asking

Not sure if 63 lbs is dramatic enought for her, but it is for me. I still have more to go, but I have definitiely improved my sugar A1C and daily numbers, and have changed my eating habits for the better. More proteins, fruits and veggies, less take out, fried, and fast foods (not gone, but not always tolerated) Tell her…

Love the new you! I would kill to be the old you, but we all have our comfort zones and you need to maybe just get a bit more comfortable with where you are now and then walk like a duck and let her comments roll off your back :laugh:

I can feel your pain, and what I know sometimes works for me (I do still fall down that slippery slope.) Is to NOT buy or have the trigger foods in my house! Trigger foods for me are carbs........ Bread, pasta, potatoes, all the nasty "white" stuff they say is no good for us anyway! I fell off the wagon this weekend and…

Just a lower NY transplant to WNY but I so miss the NY thin crust pizza:sad: :sad: Nothing like it in Buffalo... We overdose on it when we go home to visit family. I understand the beef on weck issue, but what i've heard is the salt does not travel well when they are shipped!:bigsmile:

Could not believe it when i saw your topic in the listing. I just spent today totally sabotaging all my hard work of the past 2 years. No, i did not put back on 62 lbs today, but it feels like it.... Thank you for making feel not quite so alone with this issue. I just wish i knew why...

^^^ this for sure!

Okay, you may think I'm crazy, but in addition to what everyone one else has posted......... While doing water aerobics, many of us would get cramps and the instructor told us to "pinch our lip" Yes, I know it sounds weird, but in many cases, for many of us, It really did work.......... you have to catch the cramp…
