  • Cereal....crunchy Banana...end My husband thought I was weird for eating my banana from the end. Now all the kids want it that way cause "they have a handle to hold on to". If dad peels it the other way they get all bent out of shape about it. So he has been converted!!
  • Welcome!! Go ahead and add me as a friend, and we can all do this together. MFP is wonderful, and you will get so much encouragement and help along the way. Make your journey happen!!
  • Very good for you! I have also let "it" creep in once in a while. My sister-in-law suggested that everytime I want to munch on something to go brush my teeth. It works! You can't eat a cookie, or anything right after brushing, it is just gross. So, maybe try that the next time you want to snack when you are not hungary.…

  • My doctor just told me to work out for only 20 minutes 2 to 3 times a day. It kick starts your burning everytime. Also, check with your local indoor pool, I found a "swim to be trim" class and it is a huge work out. The nice thing is, is everyone there have the same goals as you, and you can get advice and encourage each…
  • My "moment of clarity" was when I left my ex husband who was terribly emotionally and mentally abusive. I had endured so much pain in my heart, that I gave up on myself. The day he hit me was the last straw. I had always been thin my whole life, but the years I spent with him I turned to food and whiskey. Once I left the…
  • I'm here, just a click away and I have 30 lbs to go! We can get it done together. I have found the people here to be wonderful!! Go ahead and add me in.
  • This "yo yo" thing is new to me. But I am feelin ya. Just remember that muscle weighs more than fat. So possibly the weight you gained was muscle. Try not to get down on yourself, we all struggle and we can all be here for each other! One thing about weight loss is we can always start over again. Good luck on your journey,…
  • Good job!! I can't wait to get there myself!! Keep up the good work!!:happy:
