  • Thank you, Ann! I am still getting used to the changes in MFP from the last time I was here and I lost this thread or I would have responded sooner. I am here for the long haul. I am SO looking forward to being lighter again. Thank you for the response and the cheers!
  • Happy December, everybody! My daughter called me today after I got 2 skeins of black yarn in the mail and I messaged her about it. She wants me to crochet her a winter hat but I was surprised she wanted a black one because she originally told me she wanted green but she said it would go with everything so I said ok. I will…
  • You are looking FANTASTIC!! Great job! Continued success!
  • Its been 8 years....how have you made out? Would love to hear! I use a small trampoline to jog on....I need to prevent the jolt to my knees and feet.
  • Another busy day today. A friend took me out so I could get my prescriptions and then I made a London Broil dinner for us....came out great! Went a little overboard on the mashed potatoes (I LOVE mashed potatoes) but I didn't go too far over my carb limit. A friend said to look for a movie to go see so I will do that after…
  • When I first joined MFP 12 years ago, I did both. But now that I am back, most of the people I interacted with either left or gave up on me, which I certainly understand. So, socially, I am starting over, pretty much. But I do try to respond to any comments on my feed.
  • Hi! It was a busy day. Spent part of it clearing up my crafts and putting them in storage until after the holidays. Did some cleaning, then my son asked if I wanted to play an online, interactive game with him and the kids so I said sure. Mostly trivia based, which I like. It was a lot of fun. I only get to see my son and…
  • I come here every day....you have to if you want to succeed and want others to succeed with you. I will be happy to be your friend!
  • Hi! I am a returning MFP'er. Lost 50 pounds 8 years ago but have gained back 25 and am on various meds including insulin, that I want to get off of. I am logging in every day now. Am happy to lend support!
  • Hi....and nice to meet you! I want to drop 20 pounds, too and this is not my first attempt at a redo, but it will be my last because I WILL succeed this time. And at this time of year, it's even more difficult, but I am up for it. Feel free to add me if you want support...we can all use it.
  • Thank you, Tilliesmommy1 for the welcome...much appreciated! I hadn't knitted in years and I had to kinda relearn about a month ago....wanted to make an afghan. But I definitely am a much better crocheter. :smile: Today I began preparation for Christmas decorating by packing away all my everyday decor...tchotchkes, my…
  • This past week I went into my spare room (I have a 2 bedroom apartment) to finally tackle the total chaos. You could barely walk into the room. I finally had enough and realized I had to do something. The first day I was in tears and had to walk out and shut the door. The second day, for some reason I got some motivation…
  • Hi. On Sunday I restarted my weight loss journey. I originally joined in 2012 and lost 50 pounds. I have gained back 25 of those 50. After several unsuccessful restarts, I am finally committing to getting the weight off. I take insulin and several other medications and I want to get off them asap. I am not getting any…
  • They always say the hardest part of the journey is taking the first step. Four weeks and you've done that and more. I have no doubt but that you will succeed. Congrats on your loss so far...you deserve it!
  • My daughter is studying for her BS in nursing and she is a stress eater. Her weight has ballooned in the last year. She still has another 18 months before she graduates. I worry but I hope she will eventually be able to work on dropping the weight. But she plans on going for her masters. I also hope maybe when I reach my…
  • Hello again! Glad the challenge is continuing! I will keep on weighing in on Sunday mornings. We'll see if I can get off at least 10 pounds despite the holiday. Good luck everybody!

  • Welcome! The app is a great tool that helps you keep track of your diet and exercise as well as get support from friends. But it all boils down to YOU. YOU are the one that does the work....eats properly, gets exercise. And, in the end, it's YOU that is successful! You are just beginning a worthwhile journey....good luck!
