I'm surrounded by unfinished projects, both at home (scrapbooking, unorganized genealogical documents, photographs, landscaping) and at work (a historical society/research library - we don't have anyone who curates so all the donated items are piling up). These cause me to feel overwhelmed, guilty, and stressed every time…

Hello everyone! I'm new to this group and am really having trouble motivating myself to exercise as well as to eat better. Worse, I feel overwhelmed and out of control in the majority of aspects of my life, particularly as I am dealing with four aging parents and starting to have my own health issues due mainly to the…

I'm trying to reduce portions, and do at least SOME exercise each day. Sometimes it's regular activities like gardening and walking, and other times it's more-concentrated circuit training or cardio with DVD's and Wii programs. My biggest hurdles are ignoring all the snacks coworkers bring in, and not mindlessly eating in…

I'm not finding this in the Groups area - is there somewhere else I should look?

Great, I'm in!

Sounds fun! Is it too late to join?

I'm in! Current: 180 Goal by Nov 12: 170 Goal by Dec 5: 165 Goal for Christmas 161 We can do this!

I'm 58, and while reasonably healthy, had to have my gallbladder removed in February. The very limited eating I had to do for 3 weeks prior to it (after an attack) and the gradual reintroduction of foods has left me 18 lbs lighter, with 22 to go, but now I'm struggling with re-learning how my body reacts to different…

I was recently diagnosed with fatty liver, and am ready to lose the weight and hopefully start reversing the disease a bit. Any of you, please feel free to add me and we can all improve our liver functions together!

I've recently been diagnosed with fatty liver myself, and was told the same thing by my doctor. I've noticed that my hands and feet are itching more frequently in a painful, non-rash way, which may be a sign of the damage spreading to NASH a bit. So, it's time to get the weight off and the better nutrition in! Feel free to…

I have 40 lbs to lose, too! I started back in today because I wanted to take advantage of this week off work to get myself back into more of a fitness mode so it'll be more of a habit once I'm back to my normal routine. And, I also need this week to hopefully get rid of a little of the Christmas pigout bloat so my slacks…

I'm also a yo-yo dieter who was thin as a child and seem to still think I can eat anything and keep the weight off. Please feel free to add me!

Hi there! I'm back to the path for healthier living with cleaner eating habits and trying to get in more exercise and physical activity. Feel free to add me if you need a like-minded friend!

I'm also flabby and 50 - well, over 50! Please feel free to add me - I'm ready to get back to it and FIRM UP.

I'm a saltaholic and am always shocked at how quickly it adds up!

I'm a stress eater, too, and would always rather eat junk food (salt is my weakness) over healthy. I lost quite a bit last year by eating healthier, plus doing a mix of cardio/light weights and really toned up, and then ate all winter and have put much of it back on... Feel free to add me as a friend, and we'll help…

Feel free to add me as a friend - I did great last year, but ate, ate, ate all winter so am ready to get back on track and this time, keep it off!

I'm starting back in, after losing last year and then most of it back over the winter. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like

Hi there! I'm getting ready to start my 4th month of 21 Day Fix and love it! I don't eat many of the carbs - you don't have to eat every container every day. I reserve my yellows for an occasional carb or treat. I don't eat alot of salads, and when I do, I like ones with lots of meat so they're more filling. And, some of…

Good cold morning, everyone! Well, cold here in Southern Missouri anyway - it was a relief to get up and find out that once again our wellhouse hasn't frozen up - twice in one month is more than enough for me!! Regarding prep - something that really helps me is to log in my entire day of meals while I enjoy my morning…

I, too, am addicted to peanut butter right now. I start off with a plan to eat one TBL for a little snack in front of the TV, and the next thing I know, I've downed half the container!! Seriously! What is now working for me is to measure out the portion I plan to eat, and then put the jar away. That seems to be helping to…

Well, Diane, it sounds to me like you still approached the entire weekend with a great mindset and did pretty good for the most part - most of us (ok, ME) would probably have binged a little more! And, the good news is, you're getting right back on track!

Good luck today with your "favorite" test! I'm jealous of you going out for a greasy, yummy meal afterward, but NOT for your upcoming procedure!

Ohhhh, yes, Snooozie, a small bag of Lay's French Onion chips will eventually be a treat I'll allow myself - delicious, but very very bad, that's true! Have you had dental work?

Snooozie, what a great message to start off the New Year! Hello, I'm new to the Hatters and excited to have found a group treating this stage of life with a little humor. For years, I was pretty thin and then started adding weight in my 40's. I joined MFP a year ago and lost some, gained some - that old yo-yo story, which…

Good for you! I, too, am wanting to improve my health and have a goal set to be able to hike part of the Katy Trail (MO) in May. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like, and we can motivate each other!

Hi there! i can totally relate, as I too have a job where I sit alot (although not all the time), plus have regained what I lost. You might try doing some isometric stretches while in your chair to help keep the blood flowing. And, take advantage of your breaks - restroom, lunch, etc - to get a little more stretching and…

We're almost, other than age! Age 53 Height 5'5" SW 168 CW 160 GW 133

Other than age, we're close! Age 53 SW 168 CW 160 GW 133

These sound delicious AND easy (a requirement for me, since I hate to cook!)
