I have been away from MFP for some time. Need help getting myself back on track for better health and fitness. Encouraging friends needed.

I was just wondering the same thing! LOL

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2001 and put on some many different medications to control the pain and symptoms which most had the side effect of weight gain. Over the first 6 months I gain almost 25 pounds. I finally after almost 5 years of battling the weight gain told my doctor I would rather die than to continue…

I agree

My dentist instructed me to do jaw exercises to keep my jaw muscles active and to not eat solid foods for at least one week.

To am going through some major dental work and drink smoothies with both fruits and veggies and creamed soups. I also add protein powder to my smoothies.

I know someone that breast feed a six year old and the child was not able to attend kindergarten as a result.!!

I do not like it at all. Just got a new laptop 2 weeks ago and I am totally lost.

Feel free to add me. I have to first and foremost be honest with myself and my logging or it will not work.

I have three children and I had them all natural with no pain meds and only in labour for eight hours in total with all three. I did however with my first one scream mummy just as my mom walked in the room. LOL I am now a trained Volunteer Doula and looking forward to assisting moms to be with the delivery of their wee…

Wow, your husband can sleep with another woman as long as he does not lie to you about it. Holy heck not in my marriage.

If I invite someone out for dinner, movie or even a coffee, I pay. I have been married for almost 29 years and I have always made this a practise with family and friends. In the end it always evens out as it is always reciprocated.

I would not assume to think what your uncle may feel when you have lost some weight. I am sure he will be happy for you and not say what you may be thinking he will say. If you are truly doing it for you them stick to it and not assume what other will think or say in a negative way. Good luck.

Add me as a friend as I too can use the motivation from friends. Would enjoy encouragng you on your journey.

Wow, amazing. You look great and I am sure you feel awesome. So good not to be carrying that extra weight around with you and your heart is likely beating so much better to if. Hugs

I agree 100% about depression Not needing medication. I was on medications from the age of 26 to 56 and have been medication free since changing my habits, attitude and the ways I feel and think about myself. My family doctor suggested it as he has always told me I know what I want, feel, the love I have for others and…

Good work. Such a postive response. Add me as a friend if you would like to.

Good idea, therever be extremely careful with K2 and ask your doctor if it is right for you. K2 can be exremely bad for certain health conditions and blood disorders.

Have you ever tried volunteering at your local hospital, church, rec centre, Big Sister's, and too many others to mention. Even in a smaller town or hamlet there is always some place that needs a volunteer. I personally volunteer here in my home town at many places including the Pallaitive Care unit at our hospital. It not…

You just noticed that...rotlmao

Blueberry compote and easy to make. Freezes well and yummy on almost everything. I make mine by just adding 6 cups of blueberries, 1 cup water, 2 cinnamon sticks and 2 tbsp of Sweet N Low in a pot and simmer on low heat until the sauce is thick and mosture of the mosture is gone.

I would not consider it a workout. If it was my mom should have been a rake with 9 children....lol

I eat what ever I want and count my calories as I go so I can stay within my daily goal. I am getting used to the portions sizes now and do not restrict any foods I would normally eat. It does keep it real and simple.

My weakness is stress. Stress cause me to somes binge eat and wipes out my hard work of lost weight for the week. I Have been so good lately as I have found a great way to avoid the major stress in my life with the help of an amazing Christain counselor.

I agree with you 100% as natural is better. I only buy natural peanut butter and if I am craving orange juice I will eat an orange before drinking a glass of orange juice.
