Welcome Jane! Not only will you gain great information here, I think you'll also be able to give some good advice. This is my 3rd time with MFP,I've been successful each time, but as you know..now that I'm approaching 46 and been menopausal for several years, it's just not as easy to take the weight off. I'm also a former…

I find that if I don't have that one thing that I'm craving..I'll eat everything else to compensate for it, in turn eating more calories then I would have to begin with. It's all about sensible choices.

*live,born and raised here. It's grown so much over the years, definitely a vacation destination! So much to do.

Hi all, I'm not at my heaviest,but can't move my numbers down, 215 seems to like me! I did take the initiative and spent about 3 hours at the grocery store looking for better/healthier options. This is day 4 for me, 3rd time on MFP, and definitely can use support and motivation. I've found lots of grab and go snacks are…

Hi! There are sooo many pre-packaged 100 calorie snacks you can grab n go, just throw them in a lunch bag, along with whole fruits and veggies..high fiber snacks keep you fuller for a longer period of time. I snack on Frosted mini wheat's..put them in little zip loc snack baggies and carry them in my purse when hunger…

Hi..I've been taking Topamax for several years now for Epilepsy and I will tell you that I did lose 50 pounds when I was first put on it...but only because of some of it's initial side effects that subsided within the first 6-8 months...and I also take a much higher dosage. I don't believe it's a "weight loss drug" at…
