  • So sorry to hear about the puppy Patty. I've been off for about a week now and it's getting to me. I'm going to work with my DH at a new, local office but am not getting anything accomplished. I feel my entire day is wasted (since he's not "established" yet - still in the planning stages) and by the time I get home, I make…
  • You can't do anything about the past but you can do something about the future! Getting back on track is the first step. I've gone back to my "old ways" of eating (mindless, at times) and no exercise. I don't want to keep making "new beginnings." I'd like this to be my last and maintain the rest of my life! You can do it!…
  • I recently joined MFP and started using TurboFire. Right now, the exercises are quite difficult to maintain all the way through. I continue doing the exercises to the best of my ability and incorporate lunges, pushups or jumping jacks when I can't keep up. I started the Biggest Loser Power Sculpt last year and loved it,…
  • Wow, so many pages to read on this topic! I'm over 50 and recently started posting to MFP again after being absent many months (and adding more lbs.) It seems everyone on here knows everyone else...I'm but a newbie :blushing: I could use all the help and motivation I can get, including MFP friends. Currently unemployed and…
  • Keep up the good work Sharon! Don't worry, you can do it :) There's a lot of support on here :wink: 14lbs is a great beginning!
  • You have lots of encouragement on here. I find keeping a food diary the 2nd most beneficial part of MFP. The 1st is exercise which I am severely lacking. Sugar/carbs and sodium are my worst enemies-the things I crave the most. Also, evening snacking has become a destructive "norm" for me. I'm vowing not to eat anything…
  • I've only been back on MFP for several days and noticed fruit caused an excess of my daily sugar allowance So I checked some sites and discovered fruits with a lower sugr/carb content. If interested, you can check this site: http://www.care2.com/greenliving/which-fruits-have-the-most-sugar.html which contains pretty much…
  • Hi! I'm on Long Island too (Smithtown). I'm hoping to participate in a Walk or Mini-Marathon in several months, after I've gotten back to exercising. Best of luck to you!
  • Great job with your weight loss and I love the photos!
  • LOL. I agree! Wish almond butter wasn't so expensive though. I could OD on Nutella crepes so that's off my list completely!
  • Hello everyone! I'm a currently unemployed homemaker and recent adult college grad from Long Island. For the past 10 years, I've been a stay at home mom and helped my husband with his businesses while going back to earn my BS. Also a struggling writer and crafter, I spend most of my time sitting which contributed to my now…

  • It takes more than a few years to "go through" menopause. Thankfully my experience wasn't as bad as some; no HRT necessary. The worst though was I wound up gaining 2-4 lbs a year for the past 7 years. I constantly feel bloated, lethargic and uncomfortable in anything snug like jeans. I started wearing sweatpants around the…
  • Glad you're back! I'm back myself so feel free to connect. It's so much better to lose with other people - it's like a commitment :smile:
  • I was going to say Chalene Johnson but Dwayne really "ROCKS!" :blushing:
