I just sent you a request. I have an autoinflammatory disease which is decently controlled but still can be restricting at times. I too have gained weight back recently. I'm getting back at this in a serious way 😉

I'll send you a friend request. I'm getting back at this and have a lot of work ahead of me! The more pals the better!

I absolutely want to get back at this and reverse the weight I've gained these past few years! I have 100 pounds to lose 😥 it's not going to be easy but I'm ready for the challenge! Please feel free to add me on here as a buddy! The more we encourage one another, the better the experience will be! 💖 Cheers to a fresh start…

@LernRach it is frustrating to battle an illness while also trying to battle the bulge! Two steps forward, one step back way too often! Feel free to add me on here! I'd love to have buddies who can relate to the ups and downs.

@indy_cruizer I've never heard of that! I had to Google it. It sounds pretty scary actually and also could really cause you many limitations with fitness, etc. Sorry you're going through this! I hope yours goes away! Can it disappear with time?? I hope so!!

@Hamsibian thanks for the message! I will definitely add you :) I believe that the tummy symptoms with Crohn's is actually very similar to the tummy problems with FMF. Although thankfully with FMF, mine only last a few days during the flares. Ironically, I think that's what helped me keep some weight off for a while but…

I'm in!

I cook all our meals from scratch. I enjoy cooking and really resent paying money now on crappy takeout or in restaurants when I know I could cook it for much less! I find that having a wide range of ingredients and spices on hand makes meal prep much easier. I also freeze many meals so we always have a selection to choose…

We just purchased a blender for making smoothies. I have many small kitchen appliances so all I needed was the blend feature. I really didn't want to spend a fortune so after a lot of thought, we purchased a black and decker for 59 dollars. It totally sucked and we could smell the motor burning while making our first…

Wow! What a great success story! Thanks for sharing :) You look amazing!!

I am new to this BL challenge so I am curious as to how these activities are tracked in order to get the advantages? I know we will keep track on our MFP diaries but how do we track as a team? Thanks!

Hi Team! I am new to the BL challenges so I may need some help understanding things here. I am desperate to get some motivation back into my weightloss. I am really at a standstill for the moment and I need to get the scale moving again. My name is Cathy and I am a SAHM. I have two school aged kids. I weighed 288 pounds…

Name: Cathy How much do you weigh: 214 How many lbs would you like to lose?: 64 What are your goals along this journey?: To get back on track and get to goal! Will you be committed?: Yes What is your weakness (food wise)? Bread Random fact about yourself ? I love urban farming!

Years ago we transformed a hill around our back deck (it never would grow grass) into a double tier veggie garden. It was the best thing we ever did! It has expanded and taken over our backyard and this year we plan to turn our front yard into an edible landscape style garden. We are also debating about getting 2 chickens…

The theft aspect of gardening is terrible!! How can people be so low as to steal food... but they do and it hurts bad when it happens. My in-laws had their entire garden raided and most of the good stuff that they were waiting so patiently all season to ripen had been stolen. It was so violating because it isnt just about…

That's awesome! You have a great selection of veggies and you even have fruit trees! I have an indoor herb garden for the winter and I think I will plant many of the herbs outdoors in the front garden. I need to be selective on what I plant out there so that the concept of edible landscape isn't shunned :wink: also I don't…

You should start one! There is nothing more rewarding than eating the food you planted and nurtured! It also fosters a healthy relationship for people with food. For me, it taught more more respect for the food I am eating and encouraged me to learn more about food. I was really guilty of living on highly processed food…

My garden is sleeping under 40cm of snow! No action there right now but I'm in the planning stages. There is a local organic seed exchange coming up soon so I'm trying to figure out how much can fit in the space I have now. We have garlic bulbs and asparagus that will come up in the spring and we plant tomatoes, broccoli,…

Report them to your boss! Then see how funny they think it is to bully coworkers!!

I do it too and I am totally addicted! Problem is that it makes me soooooo frustrated when I am up so it throws my day off.... but still I keep doing it... grrrrr!!:mad:

I did the exact same thing last month after being stuck at the same weight in a plateau for a few months at 1200 calories. At some point my body started holding on to the calories at the lower range and I wasn't losing anymore. I was also afraid of a gain but actually the opposite happened and the scale finally moved down…

Way to go! You look great :) Keep up the hard work!:flowerforyou:
