Good morning, Would love to join here. I am back on MFP after a looong hiatus. I am refocusing my energies on me. My Daughter (and only child) who has been my main focus for 18 years is entering University in a few weeks and I am working on forging better habits to cope with the "Empty Nest" sadness I know I am going to go…

add me too please. need to lose 100

Agree.

Wow, thanks that's great information. I will look into the Fit bit's a bit further. Thanks for the information on the issues with the rashes etc. :)

Thanks everyone. A relief to know that I don't need to upgrade the phone. My daughter does have an Ipad, would it sync with that?

Hi. New here. Need to lose about 105 lbs. Seems very overwhelming at this point, but have decided to take it 5 pounds at a time (to start). As I sat with my husband and daughter on New Years Eve, I realized that 2015 is going to be the year of healthy all around. Healthy mind, body, and soul.

What an inspiring story. Well done. Hard work and determination is always the best motivation.

Thanks. I started the Vitamin D this morning. My mother is Vitamin D deficient and also suffers from SAD. We live in Canada though and the winters can be harsh. She finds it helps. I will look into it further. Thanks for your help.

Great, thanks for the information on the Vitamin D. Any particular amount that you take? I already take my thyroid first thing in the morning 1-2 hours before any other supplements, and then the Vitamin B12. Multivite taken toward the end of the day. Birth control meds aren't an issue, but I am wondering if there is any…

WOW! Good for you. You are very motivating and I too hope to be normal one day too. ;)

I agree. I am sorry if you feel this way and that something or someone has made you feel this way. :flowerforyou:

Great Answer!!!!

And you have an amazing smile....:smile: (sorry I stalked your picture....lol)

It doesn't sound conceited. It's awesome! Confidence is the most beautiful trait in the world! I have a daughter who is just on the cusp of womanhood, and I tell her everyday to look at herself and pick something about herself that she likes. I tell her not to focus on the physical, but to focus on the important stuff,…

How sad is it that we have 12 pages about how many times we've been made to feel small, but only 8 posts on what we think is good about ourselves. :ohwell:

Wow!! 121 pounds!! That is an awesome weight loss already. You can't give up now! Look how far you've come. I am inspired by your loss! Have you taken your measurements lately? Sometimes that horrible scale is the worst judge of your accomplishments. You can do this!!.

That's awful. I'm sorry. What an absolute pair of a**holes. :angry:

This. My.entire.life. Ever scan a room to see if your'e the fattest one there? I do. Every time. On another note: Thanks everyone for your support. I've decided that my husband's comments while very hurtful for me, were also very painful for him to have to say to me. When we married, we promised each other honesty above…

Actually, I've barely spoken to him since.... However, on the other hand, at least he had the balls to be honest..... He knows he hurt me deeply. I don't know maybe I needed to hear it......:brokenheart: What's actually worse is what it's doing to my 10 year old daughter. What kind of an example am I setting for her??

Just this past weekend actually. My husband who is my best friend and has loved me no matter what size I am told me that I was no longer attractive to him. That he was sick of my weight, and that our daughter was embarrased by me and has to defend me when people ask her if her mom is "the fat mom" Suffice to say, any past…

I get by with a little help from my friends..... ;) Feel free to add me. I always like having more friends.

Well, in the past I just ate my way through it. Then I realized that that was insane and obviously making things a whole lot worse. A dangerous cycle and a constant battle. I'll admit I am still trying to come to terms with this behaviour and there are still slips. I am only at the beginning (again) of this journey. I am…

Muscle milk is great. I highly recommend it. I do also, recommend the egg whites. Egg white are pure protein and SO low in calories. I always find I am less hungry when I eat rather than drink my protein. A

Add me!! Just found out the other day that my (only) sibling is getting married. I am beyone thrilled, but I also have weight to lose. I've already started, and am working on it too. We can do this!!

This. Totally and absolutely this.

awesome skin

Ahhhh I get it.. Are those the same people who think there is some sort of magic pill out there? I am not a special snowflake..... The fact of the matter is: I just eat too much, (working on that) I Move too little (working on that too) and like to party (will try to work on that....or not...) But if I get the first two in…

:sad: :tongue:

Hell YA! Forgot about that one! Great pick!

I totally get this. I call it gettin a Bee on.....
