Forgot to say it but anyone is welcome to add me.

Friends usually workout better than the forums for motivation... Harv is right, people on the forums can get a bit mean. Not trying to bash anyone, but I've seen it happen a lot!

As you explore more exotic and lighter fare there are occasionally foods that are not posted... Search the database fully first and check for alternate spellings and that you have 'speelled' it correctly... Nothing worse than posting a food and looking like Dan Quayle spelling potato with an E for all the world to see! I…

Sicler does log all the time and comments quite a bit too... Add him! He's my friend and he rocks!

Congratulation, Dave... Each milestone will be huge to help you keep from looking back... Each tough patch will offer you a reason to look back. Remember how you feel now, write it down and use it as a milestone for those tough times that will come... April 22, 1988 was my last drink... You can do it but you must give…

Logging out and then back in will resynchronize the system and should solve the issue...

Sleep is a necessity... Make sure you get enough! Healthy fat is essential for making hormones, replacing myelin coating around nerves, and replacing cell walls the body's stored fat will not work well for these processes. Shoot for 20 to 30 percent of your calories from healthy sources like avocados, nuts, olive oil, and…

Losing weight really is as simple as telling MFP how much weight you want to lose per week and the other information it asks for like current weight... Then eat less calories than the goal tells you to eat and exercise a little bit and you will lose weight. As you are losing weight then continually look for one or two…

The other suggestions are all great... Depends on what you can enjoy! Keep changing up your exercises to keep them interesting and fun... Try rock climbing, swimming, P90X, Insanity, weight lifting, circuit training and fall in love with a few different ones or keep trying something new each week until you find something…

I get cold now on occasion... I use to ski in shorts... not now. I have a jacket if the fog comes in and there's any breeze at all!

Great advice... work on one or two items to improve per week and those subtle changes every week that will seem easy to day will multiply over the months and in a year you will be eating much better. Able to exercise better and you won't believe the changes that have happened. Too many people take an all or nothing…

How is your son doing? Its not easy to be the parent of a preemie... My oldest son, now 14, was a twenty eight week delivery... I know what it can do to a family. I went from 250ish back up over 350 within two years from stress eating. Hope you are well... I'm Lew, married, dad of two soon to be three... Been here for 14…
