YES!

One of the things I listed as a goal here on MFP was to be in pictures with my husband. Sometimes we all need a different perspective (and a swift kick in the hiney!). I LOVED this! Thank you!

I wish I had some words of wisdom for you....all I can say is don't give up! I've only been at this a short time and I know that support and encouragement has been a great motivator for me. Is someone you love supporting your efforts? I hope so!! I've been taking thyroid medication for 20 years now and you should…

mp3 on shuffle....Coolio "Fantastic Voyage" on right now...

YES....this!

So last night was my husband's night to "cook", and in non-surprising fashion, he stopped to pick up something on his way home. I don't have an issue with this...I knew it was coming and I prepared, which was good (I was under my goal at the end of the night!). My concern is that after I ate, my stomach cramped up a little…

I love the upside!!!

I'm looking forward to this one!

You can't change the past...so let's move forward...I'll help! 100 is a big, scary number, so you're right that mini-goals are the way to go! I'm trying to set goals that mean something. My first one is to get back to the weight I was when I got married (6 years ago). That's a 25 lb loss, but I'm getting there. When I get…

We're here for you!

Misspinkshort...I was worried about hanging with friends for the same reason, but I've told them all what I'm doing (using MFP to lose weight) and they have ALL been incredibly supportive. As a matter of fact, one of them joined herself...not to lose weight, but to watch what she eats and improve how she eats. I've found…

I really love reading through everyones posts! Loizlane...same mood for me today. I work in a small office with 4 other people. One of our clients brought us a carrot cake today. It's HUGE, with 35 pre-cut portions. I wouldn't even have to work at it to get one. I started thinking about it earlier and my mouth literally…

Hi! I'm Bernadette, 41, and I LOVE the idea of this group. I really enjoyed reading through what everyone has posted. I also like that it's real...we can't be sunny all the time! I found my dream phrase in this group...I'm "releasing" weight. Yep...don't want it back. I've been overweight half of my life. I wasn't…

Your MIL sounds like an old roommate I had. I had to resort to buying a small (dorm size) refrigerator for myself. I kept it in my room and I had a lock on it. I also kept non-refrigerated food in one of the drawers in my dresser. The hardest part was dinner time when she'd want to eat whatever I was cooking. At first I…

You are definitely not making too much of it. The fact that he's so defensive about it should concern you.

My husband has never made me feel anything but loved and he's supportive of my weight loss journey. Everytime he tells me that he's proud of me, it keeps me motivated. He is part of me, and I want to keep "us" healthy and happy for a long time. Who doesn't want to feel confident standing next to the person they love? I…

I want to seduce my husband!

This may sound silly, but when I eat breakfast I always get hungry before lunch, so I keep pistachios at my desk. They're time consuming to eat (sucking on the shell for the salt, getting the shell off, etc), so I'm distracted by them and I don't think about lunch as much. They're also pretty low cal, so even if I've eat…

I've been taking a fairly high dose of levothyroxine for about 20 years and I don't have any issues. I guess I'm lucky and I wish you luck with getting it worked out!

I store potatoes in the fridge and they keep for a really long time. Months! If they start to get soft, I usually end up making a stew or mashed potatoes so they don't go to waste. I also store onions in the fridge, but I go through them so quickly, I don't know how long they'd last like that. Thanks for asking your…

Hi! I'm new and nervous with you. I just posted my information and you stated my feeling so much better than I did! I get it. Let's do this!
