grandmallie. I remember my youngest child not wanting to latch. Tell her to try different positions to hold the child and in time it will come naturally. They can sense our frustration too. Praying that he latches for her soon.

I feel so far behind on here. I don’t get to spend time online unless the grands are sleeping or I’m on lunch at work. I’ve been working on me more this week and taking care of me. It’s hard when you have a house full and no one but you cares that anything gets done. This may sound selfish but I’m ready for my next chapter…

Let’s begin 2022 with focus on us. I’m ready to continue with my progress to being healthier and happier. This year I hope to focus less on negative people and thoughts and more on happiness and healthiness. I’ve been a MFP member for some time now but have not reached my goal weight yet. I’m over 50. Single mother to two…

I’m sorry for the delay in responding life’s been busy. I’m Eileen. From MS. I will try to get to know y’all by following this thread. Thanks for letting me join in. I have been on MFP for awhile but haven’t join in on the threads. I’m on daily but might not get in here daily. by reading the thread. This group is warm and…

I’m needing to join this thread. I’m 51 this year. Single mother of two with three grands who keep me busy. I do work full time still. I’m trying to get myself to a healthier weight and lower my sugar and cholesterol per my doctors suggestion. I’m on daily but do not post daily. I’d like to get to know others in my age…

Morning y’all. The temps here are cooler after the storms we had. It’s making it feel more like winter than spring here. Just thankful the bad storms and tornadoes missed us. I’m seeing the scale move more with me doing the 1200 calories instead of Keto. Going to stick with it and see where I get to the end of this month.…

March goals for me. Work out five days a week. Be more active on the weekends without being at the gym. Drink more water. Log my food to be more consistent with my intake calories. Stay under 1200 calories a day. Aim for a four pound weight loss. Take my vitamins. Work on unpacking the remaining boxes from the move. Work…

That’s fantastic!! It’s taken me almost two months to lose that much. Wow. That’s inspiring for sure

Thank you for sharing. We are all here because we need to lose weight. we all struggle with it. Sometimes our posts can inspire others to be brave enough to take that first step into taking better care of ourselves and putting ourselves first.

Please feel free to add me. I’m new to this group. Not MFP but the group. I’ve been at this for years. Lol. I’m heading toward 51 in March. Currently an empty nester with my youngest away at college since August. I’m trying low carb at the moment to see if maybe it will boost the scale in the right direction and boost my…

I’m new to the group too. I’d enjoy new friends to keep me motivated. I’ll try and friend y’all if I can figure it out. It’s been awhile since I added anyone

I do. I try to get in 10,000 steps a day. It equals about 5 miles throughout my day. Some days are better than others. I do my best most days to hit it. I might be doing a walking video late at night to get them in but I feel better when I stay active

I guess I’m being inpatient. 😉 I see others losing more than me doing less than I’m doing so I’m feeling defeated but I’m not giving up. Been here too long. Too much time invested in this and me and my health. I enjoy going to the gym each day. It’s a destresser from work and life. Going to do a better job logging what I…

At work on break we do Leslie Sansone’s one mile walk. It’s multi muscle cardio walk. You can see she has other videos too. When you have more time to do them

Just joining this group. Need help and motivation to start seeing the scale move downward more. I’m 50 and it’s been a slow go to get seven pounds off since I joined the gym the beginning of December. I would like to be twenty to thirty pounds lighter to be healthier and able to keep up with my kids and grands.

thank you, I do use hand weights (3# and 10#) to do arm exercises but I don't know the names of any of them. There are weight benches there. I will try to look online for the correct way to use them so I do not get hurt. I go in the early mornings when there is no one else there to ask for guidance.

I am right here with all of y'all- some days are better than others for me. I have been through a lot but have really struggled since my divorce in 2008 to overcome my depression and become a happier healthier person so I can enjoy life with my kiddos. I am trying to stay focused. If anyone wants to add me and let us…
