  • Hi All! So I'm so impressed with all of you and the way you support each other and the way you respond to individuals, always being so encouraging. This has impressed me so much, I'm going to give it a shot. I hope you all don't mind. I just find it....heartwarming...yeah, that's the word...heartwarming! ok... here I go...…
  • Lucy in DE - I don't know what the water pitcher is called, and it was a gift, but I do know it came from Bed Bath & Beyond. It is plastic and holds about 8 cups of water. It has a plastic 'core' that the top screws onto. The core is hollow with slits in it. You fill it with fruit, or whatever, it sits inside the pitcher…
  • Hey all - just dropping in again to mark my spot and to say how much I enjoy this group! I hit 20lbs off today. Off for good! I have plenty more to go, but this site is helping me stay true to logging in. I have dramatically improved my water intake - and that has always been a difficult thing for me in the past. But I…
  • Boston - Boston Strong!
  • Hi Wonderful Ladies! I'm still here and doing well. I am writing to bump this - I need to catch up! I'm a Boston gal, and have been preoccupied to say the least. I know so many of you have said prayers for the victims and the people of my wonderful city. And last night was just crazy - watching, praying, waiting. But many…
  • Hello Everyone! I'm checking in again - and sorry I can't yet do the 'roll call' thing that more experienced users do. I LOVE that! I scan for my name and feel like you are giving me a big hug and push to keep going. I'm setting some goals for the week: Log my food every day (so far so good since I've come back to MFP).…
  • Wow - you are all so inspiring! I am very happy to have stumbled across this lively group!! We spent the morning painting my home office downstairs - big room and of course, I have to do an accent wall and there's a lot of cuts. So my husband and I did all the cuts this morning. And then in the afternoon, we had to go to…
  • My mother saved my life once. I fell asleep while I was driving to work one morning. She yelled very loudly and very sternly (as only mothers can do) "Mary, wake up NOW!" My eyes shot open and I was less than a foot from a guard rail, and travelling about 70mph. I swerved to avoid the guard rail and got the car under…
  • Hey all! I'm still here and happy about it, too. I have to admit, I love the convo about the bras. I was looking for ways to reward myself for reaching certain milestones on this journey. And I think getting fitted and purchasing a lovely new bra or two is perfect! Thanks for the idea, ladies! Do you guys reward yourselves…
  • Thank you for the welcome messages. What a nice group! It's nice to have a place to land where I can relate freely about dieting, excercising, food, behavior and all that stuff without boring everyone in my house!! Actually, it's just my husband and I (and our dog). But he LOVES food and is a chef....and I LOVE food, but…
  • icicles!
  • Hello! I joined MFP about a year ago and never really used it. I've 'rejoined' just this week, and after playing around a bit, I'm definitely loving this and using it! Some of my goals for April: workout 3x per week at least 30 minutes each. Eat less and move more - general goal to create my new lifestyle. Log into MFP and…
  • Haha! Yes - that's true! TNP sings loudly in the shower and thinks they are good, too!
  • False! I think Starbucks is overpriced and stuck-up! the next person drives like a maniac!
  • I think MFP is going to be a great tool for you. Obviously, you are used to logging your food and activity. So I think this will not be a difficult transition for you. Best of luck and I am sure you are going to rock this!
  • I'm proud of you for doing so well! :wink: And I am proud of myself for being strong and building strength each day!
  • The difference is quite noticeable! Congratulations!! And you are so pretty! Keep up the great work!
  • Miss AleyJewell, Write up a professional resignation letter. Make it short and polite. State that you have a better opportunity for YOURSELF. Don't negotiate, move on. This current job will not ever be what it should be for you. Give your boss 2 weeks notice - that is industry standard and it is professional to do so.…
