I'm looking for accountability buddies too. I used MFP several years ago and lost 15 lbs. I've put a lot of it back on, so I'm trying to do it better this time.

I've been away from MFP for a while, but wasn't happy when I finally weighed myself the other day. I would appreciate having a motivational buddy to help me lose about 10 lbs.

Just sent you a request. I could use some new friends!

I have subclinical hypothyroidism as of last July. I was hyperthyroid before that because of a nodule. The nodule was treated and now my TSH is slightly high and my T4 is normal. My doctor is watching me closely but not inclined to give me meds yet. I have many of the hypothyroid symptoms, but none of them are…

Hi, my name is Alice and I live in Illinois, in a suburb of Chicago. I am 54, happily married, mother of one 14-year-old daughter who just started high school this fall. I love to cook, especially to bake, but I had a such a rotten kitchen until 2010 when I finally got enough money to remodel. What a difference! Slowly but…

Birds flying over my head. Everyone thinks it's from the movie "The Birds" but I'm a big Hitchcock fan and it doesn't bother me. My phobia is from being dive-bombed by birds when I was a kid. I was taking my grandparents' cat for a walk (long story) and the birds didn't like it! The funny thing is that if I'm wearing a…

Sorry to hear about your troubles. I remember going through similar times and it is so hard. Chocolate was my best friend and it was a struggle to make it from one day to the next. I am so sorry you have been hurt. If I could make it go away, I would do it in an instant. You are not alone and the best thing you can do it…

It is very difficult to eat out. I pretty much always plan on eating only half and taking the rest home. I was astonished to find out how much sodium is in the items at Noodles and Company. Even a small portion can put me over the day's allowance! I can echo other folks -- dressing on the side, and just eat half of it or…

Good question! I had to cut way back on how many fruits I was eating after I started with MFP. I was reading up on sugar yesterday and doctors are more concerned about _added_ sugar, so they want us to cut out things that have added sugar, like soda pop. But still, fruits have a lot of sugar. Personally, I've been…

Way to go! You look fantastic! :happy:

Thanks, everybody! I have avoided the chocolate so far. Have had some long phone calls with my best friend and spent some time talking with other friends and it helps. I actually got below 150 pounds today for the first time in almost 15 years! I figured out that my sister is mad at other people and just used me as a…

I also get a little light-headed sometimes during a hot flash. It usually happens if I'm flashing while I'm standing up and it's hot and humid. If I can get a fan and sit down for a bit it passes, but it's a bit unsettling.

I have the same problem! I have stayed below my calorie count so far, but apparently I'm eating way too much sugar. But I can't figure out what to eat that doesn't have so much sugar and doesn't put me over fat and protein. I would appreciate help with that too.
