Hard for me to resist the sweets...but I'm in!

I think sometimes it just takes time for other people to adjust to the "new" you. My family was the same way with me. For my brother, he was shocked because I had never been smaller than him before. My mom was just really concerned, but I was 30 lbs away from my ideal healthy weight. She thought I looked too skinny and…

I have severe anemia and it is easy to overexert myself. But I am trying to become more active and I promise to workout at least three times this week.

I'm excited about this challenge and glad I found it. I think it is just the boost and motivation I need to get back on track. My goal for this challenge is to lose 30 pounds. I plan to lose at least 2 lbs a week. I will start out by working out at least 3 times a week and then increase it as I feel more comfortable. I…

New to MFP, anyone feel free to add me!

Glad I found this group!! At one point I was choosing one day to eat something sweet that I really wanted and it worked because I was still losing weight and was satisfied. Somewhere I got off track and started to eat junk food everyday again. It is always hard to decide what day I will choose, but I will start with Sunday.

I try to stay within my calorie goal range. Lately, I try to eat more lean meats and vegetables. I tried going cold turkey and limiting all carbs for two weeks. Although I lost a lot of weight and inches, it only gave me more of a craving to splurge on the wrong foods afterwards. Now, I simply try eating less carbs and…

I usually eat three meals a day with two healthy snacks after breakfast and lunch. I try to limit snacking after dinner because I have a tendency to grab snacks that are not so healthy. 6pm is usually the cut-off time for my eating. At least one of my meals are cooked. If I know I am going to be too busy the next day I…

Glad I found this board. @LeanoraRose, thank you for the advice. I do fear that I am going to lose myself sometimes (in many ways). I am so concerned about my mom that I am starting to worry less about my appearance and simply focus on her. I also find that on days that are more stressful I have a hard time controlling…

It is great to hear similar stories to what I am going through and to know that there is hope. My mother is 55 and was just diagnosed with a form of dementia, but has been showing signs for years. For a while it has just been me and her, and no one else sees all of the changes that I am able to see throughout the day. It…

Great job!! You can really see the difference.
