Must save this! Thanks!

Middle school teacher here in NC. Feel free to add me!

I agree. I don't like sharing too much about what we have, but I carry a 380 or my 22 for fun. We also have a 9 mm, a 357 and a 10/22 Take Down.

Is your Ruger LCP for CC?

Let me share with you just a litle ol' quote I happened to find somewhere. <wink> "I want to be able to run and play with my grandbaby when he/she gets here. I want people to look at me and say, "there's no way you're a grandma!!"

What a great reason to be healthy! Good for you. Sounds like he has an amazing mom!

Welcome to you both! There is amazing support here and you will also find great ideas, recipes, and help on a variety of topics. Good luck! You can do it!

Hi! I'm a NC gal too!

YES! THIS ^

Welcome to all the new members! We are glad you are here. You will find lots of encouragement and support here.

I'm also a teacher, and I understand the demands of balancing a new healthy lifestyle with the demands of teaching. I'm going to add you and we can keep each other encouraged.

Following this thread because I have heard the opposite of ^...I'm interested in what others say. Thanks for bringing up such a great topic!

Good morning, Sue! I don't know about any mood lifting foods except for things you eat just because it makes you happy. :) I don't necessarily think the chocolate is a bad idea as long as it's only occasional and in small amounts. I have S.A.D. (Seasonal Affective Disorder) which causes me to have low level depression in…

Me too! I'm here nearly every day.

Awesome! I admire you for your decisions. I tackle the scales every day, sometimes 2 or 3 times. :(

You've lost 68 lbs since January? CONGRATS! How did you do it?

Hi. I'm Dawn and I found MFP through a friend this past Sept. My first attempt didn't go so well so I'm giving it another shot. I am 48, with two grown sons and three beautiful grandchildren. I'm in good health luckily and trying to lose 50 lbs. I've only lost 9 since late March, so it's going very slowly. Encouragement…

Thanks for the info! :) I do fairly well with the veggies. I work in the garden nearly every day and I love eating fresh veggies that I've grown myself. For the proteins and carbs, do you mean to follow the MFP suggestions or is there something else I should be doing? The "fun" after menopause?...And here I thought I was…

Thanks! :)

And happy Teacher Week to you also! :)

I stopped drinking soda about a year ago, before I began with MFP, so I don't know if that counts. Otherwise, I just limit myself to my daily calories, and eat smaller portions. I've added drinking 6-8 cups of water each day.
