I am in my second run at losing weight. I successfully lost 40 pounds about 2 1/2 years ago. Then I started an insane job that caused me to gain about 25 of those back. I recently started a new job and have gotten rid of that negativity. I'm now back at losing weight and am down about 8 pounds. Add me as a friend if you…

I also find that eventually, my husband starts to see the changes I'm making and makes some of his own. I'm not saying it's huge, but he has recently started walking in the evenings.

Hi all. I am Jessica and have recently returned to MFP. I picked up the Daniel Plan at Costco last month and have really felt motivated to get back in shape.

I have been working hard to have protein at snack time. My favorite right now is roasted garbanzo beans. I also like rice cakes with PB on them. I found Lundberg Brown rice cakes are really good. How do you make popped quinoa?

Yep. I always fail miserably when my kids are sick. I say: do your best, don't beat yourself up (as a lot of it is out of your control) and get back on track when all are well.

There is nothing more frustrating than having it out of your control. Every time I'm on track, one of my girls gets sick, which means I am up at all hours of the night. No sleep = no exercise. Then, I stress eat.
