Well, I agree with alcohol! I am not a big drinker but once in a while I love vodka, water and lemon! Not a bad drink right? Well, it is the sugar that I have issues with. I am a sugar addict and that is what alcohol is....that is what I miss the most!

Welcome!!! It gets so much easier as time goes by. I am to the point that I can';t do much until I record my food! The support and motivation is amazing! I wish you the best on your new journey!

Welcome! I am Shelia and I found MFP about three months ago! I hope that it can do for you what is has done for me! First, please do not set your goals to high! I was a fitness coordinator for years and 60 minutes was really though for me to start! Always, aim high, but remember that you can do this and you will have all…

Hi Sandy! Welcome to MFP! If you go here and record your food (no matter what) this place will become a gift to you! I have been here three months and I love the friends, the information and the support! Best wishes and friend me if you would like!! Shelia

Welcome and you can add me! this is a great place for what you need! Best wishes!

Jennifer, that is the best advice you can give her!!!

Hi! I am only on 40 and I lost before I got here! No, meds, no surgery, no quick fixes. Sometimes it seemed super slow. So slow in fact I stopped weighing and started measuring! I wish you all the best and there are some great inspirations on here!!

HI!! Look at this way. Those visits are good because it is riding your body of bad toxins!! I drink maybe 160 ounces of water everyday and it will slow down some!! Great job!!!

WOW!!! Awesome job and thanks so much for sharing!!!

Well, I like Carl01's answer, but I would be working at the university with the warm sun shinning outside and me pouting inside!

Well, this is a fun subject! I LOVE peanut butter. I most times will buy one and get one free of the LARGE Jif! I hide one, and it is just me and my husband, so that I can spoon it whenever I want (which can be daily) ! The fun part is I am allergic to peanuts!! Yep!! I keep my Epi pen close when I eat lots of it But I…

HI! I promise that is will come down. You have many many hard jobs and I remember. Just stay as focused as you can and give yourself a break.

Hi and I am doing the happy dance for you!!! Great job! Shelia

Hi JC! My boss and her husband are triathletes and they did it about a month ago. We work in food service so grant it that any diet is tough for us. Anyway, some things she brought to work and some things she used that we have. She had two smoothies a day, and one home cooked meal. These were made with avocado or spinach…

You are most likely the only man that has gotten it!!! Thanks for understanding! Best wishes, Shelia

Hi! Quick wet them and through them in the dryer......(that is what I always told my son) .....what a great "rock and a hard place"! Congrats to you! Oh and I hope you can find something to wear!!! Best wishes, Shelia

Hi! If you can get away with it try not to add sweetner. I will tell you that a dab of apple juice really makes a difference! I have to use it when I drink avocado smoothies with my protein powder. Herbalife has protein powder and it does not taste quiet as bad! best wishes...Shelia!

Way to go! Show us that this is possible!! Thank you so much for your inspiration!!! Best wishes! Shelia
