I'm the peanut butter AND the jelly in the sandwitch generaltion. I live in Denver with my 16 year old daughter and doors down from my 22 year old daughter who has a 4 month old baby who I hang with a lot when I'm not working my 50 to 60 hours a week. And I have a foot in Tucson where my elderly parents are declining…

I'm going back through the thread to add 50 + folks. Birds of a feather... You know what I mean?

Late nights are awful for me. I can be on track all day and just fall off the wagon in a big way late at night, especially after a marathon work day. No matter how bad it gets, I am impeccable with tracking. It does not diminish the calorie count but it is keeping me honest.

I've been here daily for six months. Feel free to add me.

Feel free to add me. I have been here daily since August and down 36 pounds.

My goal was 80 when I started in August and I am dowm 33 so far. I'll add thosae of you who said they would like to be added with the message "long way to go"

Welcome. Like many on MFP, I have been on WW too. I like the flexibility on MFP much better, and the price is right. Good luck!

Every day is a new beginning. I'm far from perfect, but I keep on going through thick and thin. Any human (let's get real, folks) is invited to add me as a friend. If you are hare for the long haul as I am, let's stick together!

I somwtimes pre-log for planning purposes. but I rarely do exactly what I think I will do so I log in before I go to bed each night and make corrections.

Feel free to friend me. My diary is open to friends. I am willing to be called out fr making poor chices, and my habit is to private message friends who do the same. I recently "fired" a friemd who was eating within calorie limits but doing it entirely on nutritionally void fas food. Real friends hold one another…

Bouillabaisse - This one is low fat too and AMAZING. Cumble and brown 1/2 pound hot italian turkey or chicken sausage in large pan Add one medium diced onion and sautee until clear Season with saffron, coarse salt, cracked pepper and dried basil Add 1 pound firm white fish in chunks (like cod or tilapia) Add 2 cups diced…

Feel free to add me. I'm down 23 but stell have 50+ to go.

Feel free to friend me too. I had 80 pounds to go when I started and am down 23. I log daily and my diary is open to friends.

I have been here for almost three months and have lost 23 pounds, so that is close to 2 pounds a week. The thing is, the weight does not come off in an even and predictable way. At the beginning, I had one week where I dropped 5.5 pounds. Since then, I have even had weeks where I gained a little. For me, the answer is to…

That's a great NSV!

I'm in Lakewood.

I'm 52 years old. I'm down 23 pounds since mid August. It takes a little more focus than it did when I was younger, but it feels more stable because of motivation. It is all about health now, not looking cute for a special day.

Tomorrow is day 75 for me. My diary is open to friends. Feel free to add me.

There is an easy fix for this. Turn the TV off. I didn't even live in a house with one for most of my life. I say focus on what matters. The junk in the media does not matter at all in my opinion.

I am a low carb keto person and I would like to be friends with many who share similar issues and interests.

Good grief! People can be so petty. I think you handled a challenging situation really well. You have so much to be proud of. I'm pretty sure that folks only feel the need to put others down when they are insecure and need to try to lift themselves up.

I got my MSW in 1985. I've always worked in healthcare settings. My work has gotten prgressively more administrative over the years and I am now enjoying more time with patients and families. This is something I initiated as part of my "taking care of me" initiative.

I'm trying to do both. I use my former husband's name at work because I was with him for 27 years and the name is very unique as well as the only name I have been known by professionally. Personally, that's a different story. I have re-claimed my birth name. My daughters are a little older (24, 22 and 16) and don't care…

I hear you! 27 years, three kids and 80 puonds later, I found myself flying solo again. At first I was relieved, then I was miserable and now, a year later, life is better than it has been in a very long time and improving by the day! Love yourself and keep the faith! Feel free to add me if you want a friend who can relate.

18 pounds down in about 50 days for me.

You inspired me with your post, and I would have been one to give you a shout out for the accomplishment. A year is a long time. I've been on MFP for two months, and some days, it is really tough to keep going. Good for you, and keep it up!

Beautiful Colorado!

I'm 52, 5'1" and started MFP in mid August. Sending friend request.
