I have been here 45 days and today I hit my first goal....10 pounds lost! Twenty pounds to go and when I get there, I will see if I can do 10 more. I am committed....I am strong...I am changing my life.

  • Good Morning! Ang, the main reason I stay on Facebook is to keep in touch with friends and family who are far away. And I belong to a couple crochet groups, too. But yes…you have to be careful not to let it take you over. Maureen, I need to go through my fridge. I HATE my ancient, tiny fridge! I have to keep my office…

  • Hi, Robin! I'm Sandy. I gained 30 pounds over 10 years and am diabetic. I came back to MFP last September. I have lost 28 of the 30 I gained and I am shooting to lose another 10 after that, which was my original goal. I am off insulin now, which is huge for me. I belong to the group Serial Starters. We vent, we talk about…

  • Good Afternoon, All! Geez, I started this post hours ago....and forgot to finish it. Getting old sucks. Maureen, thank you. 🙂 I no longer feel guilty about the bike. I am going to enjoy it! And fresh fruit! I bought watermelon slices and strawberries. I'll have some strawberries later. Lana, when I am next out on the bike,…

  • Hi, Stacy! You've made the first step....that's great! I learned a long time ago that dieting is not the way. Its changes in eating styles. Everything in moderation. It's not so much WHAT we eat as it is how MUCH of it we eat and how often. I am diabetic and I will still eat a chocolate bar, some potato chips on…

  • Good Almost Saturday, Everyone! I did not jump ship.....I haven't been able to post here for about a week. The text box had disappeared and I simply couldn't post. I was SO frustrated. I contacted support but never heard back. Not sure if this new thread has anything to do with the text box being back, but I am not going…

  • Its Almost Midnight…. Maureen…hope you get a good night's rest! Ang, that's how I was when I came back to MFP the first time. It took me a few tries before I was determined. I wish I could inspire you in some way. We all have it in us to do this… it's finding that desire inside that can elude us. For me, there are 2…

  • Good Afternoon, Ladies! Maureen, I bet its funny seeing kids you taught several years ago now. I know I was a different person between jr. hi and hi school. Lana...heard that the bike should arrive Friday! I looked around me yesterday and realized I need to get rid of some things. I have too many containers of assorted…

  • Top 'O the Mornin' to You All! Ang, there was a time when my son would only eat chicken nuggets and mashed potatoes. He does eat a little more now....but not much. No vegetables. I don't know how doesn't have health issues, but I worry he'll end up with diabetes like me. Sounds like you had a good day though. Maureen,…

  • G'day, Ladies! Maureen, its an oval above ground pool....4ft deep. Has a nice deck. There is no danger, but I appreciate your concern. ❤️ But, as I mentioned, I don't plan on swimming for another week to give my hand more of a chance to heal. Enjoy your last day of vacation! Lana, yeah.…I need to see if there is something…

  • Howdy, Everyone! Ang, glad the VBS went so well! And I am in a bit of a sweets rut myself. I am not gaining…just not losing. Its my mental issues that are manifesting themselves in my eating at the moment. We can both change that. Maureen, that is the feeling I have adopted. I just want to feel a little happier again and I…

  • Good Morning! Lana, thanks. I know I am far from alone and there are others a lot worse off than me. And I am mad that people were so blind as to allow this to happen. Maureen, that's the only way now. I have to be a little selfish. I don't want to be, but its a matter of physical and mental survival. And I get mad at…

  • Good Afternoon! Maureen, I am SO relieved that it was a misunderstanding. I am very glad for you! Ang, been there. A couple years ago I had to buy a new bathing suit when my old one was too small..The following year, I tried that one on and IT was too small! That was when I had my moment. And here I am. We CAN do this!…

  • I can't take Ozempic because of the side effects....I tried twice. So I am doing it the old fashioned way. I know it can be frustrating but its helping a lot of people and that's what's important. My SO is taking it and he is losing weight, but like me he is diabetic. Still, I am focused on ME and that's also what's…
