I'm not new to MFP but back at it. This time around I'm going for the lifestyle change and not a quick fix. I never reached out to make friends before but I'm learning it helps to have people on your side rooting for you.. of anyone is looking to add or has room to make more friends I would love to have more. I would love…

I really just want to thank everyone for every bit of your kind thoughts and helpful information. I understand a lot more than I did before I added this topic to the discussion boards and will continue to learn as my path gets stronger. I do not plan on keeping carbs out forever so I will not completely ban them for now. I…

sympha01, Thank you for your complete honesty. I agree with you I am horrible with food portion. I have no idea how many calories are in the portions that my body takes in everyday. I was even trying to think how many calories this morning was my coffee. I just poor my creamer in, taste, and enjoy. That's it. I fill my…

wow rogstar that is fantastic, so from what I have understood Atkins only good for people who want to loose a quick amount of weight and not worried about putting it back on like for a wedding or party or something like that, portion control is for a lifetime/lifestyle change. I love all of you for all of your wonderful…

Thank you everyone so very much for everything, It looks like I will be eating what I want and making sure I figure out my bmr. I am assuming I can look this up online?? I will figure it out. If anyone can use more friends please feel free to add me. I tried adding a few people and they declined stating I wasn't the kind…

Gosh, thank you that is very interesting to know. So, 40, 30, and 30. That seems simple enough

Good to know, thank you. Before I was just eating a lot smaller portions of anything just not doughnuts and things like that. It worked, I am not looking for a quick fix that is for sure. Since it took me ten years to get this big I am sure it is going to take me sometime to get back to where I should be. Thank you so much…

LOL too funny, I see it now for sure. Thank you

I couldn't agree more with him....you are right on track

I think as a new member it is nice to hear that you do this. Obviously if a person isn't truly ready then they will dwindle but to have someone check in then maybe it will make a bit of a difference..

Stacie, stay strong we will work this out together. I am sure having a spine issue isn't easy to hear or know. I will be here to help anyway I can. Thanks for the nice words and uplifting comments. I am sure we will learn to be stronger and get back to those women who were.

Well Carrie, lol kind of weird saying my name and with it spelt the same I haven't met a carrie yet that has it spelt the same. I used to believe in go big or go home guess I lost my umff....in life a bit. But, here I am the start of day three and feeling a bit better about things. Everyone so far has been so inspiring and…

LOL so sad but so very true!!

WOW!! Tea, 20 surgeries I can't even imagine. I know that the saying if you and your friends get in a circle and throw your problems in the center that each individual would pick up their own bags again because they wouldn't know how to handle someone elses. I believe this to be true, I know my life situations aren't the…

Alexandra, Thank you for reading my post and introducing yourself. Congratulations on the upcoming wedding. I know that you will be a very beautiful bride.

Nancy, Thank you so much for the inspiration!! I really appreciate the encouragement and will definitely look you up on here and add you.
