DAKTHREE

Just what I needed to read. Thank You!!!

I had pain in those exact same spots 5 years ago. Kept taking Sudafed for sinus. Something caused me to think it was Diet Coke so I quit drinking it. My Doctor advised me to wean myself slow to avoid more headaches. Long story short headaches went away. I don't know if you are a Diet Soda drinker but wanted to share this…

That is fantastic!!:bigsmile: You look amazing and an inspiration! :flowerforyou:

Hi:) Very glad to see both of you here!! That is fantastic that you are able to use this site to track your nutrition. Sounds like you are doing everything right for a smooth surgery and quick recovery. Good job both of you:flowerforyou:

:happy: Thanks

Excellent advice!!! Change the negative thinking to a positive action. Thanks!!:bigsmile:

I gave it up 5 years ago. I was addicted to it!! My Doctor told me to stop gradually to avoid headaches from the withdrawal. I would open a can in the morning and keep it in the fridge and just sip on it as I needed it. At the end of the day I would toss what was left. By the end of the week I was tossing nearly the whole…

I think I'll start measuring my weight in stone!! Sounds so much better :laugh:

Just reverse it:wink: One stone = 14 pounds:smile:

Hi Nancy:happy: You will do well here. Lots of support and help. Love the "oreo cookie" story. I remember having a room mate who always had a bag in the pantry and they would last forever!! I never understood how she could eat just one now and then. I still tease her about it to this day and she is still thin!! Welcome to…

I hear ya!!! Stupid menopause :grumble: My only advice is to stay the course. There are going to be times when you fall off but getting back on track is what gets you to the finish line. I'm beginning to realize that slow and steady is the way to go. Good luck and glad to see you back:bigsmile:

Very happy to see you here:happy:

I have a pair of sneakers that are only for indoors. When I try to do workout videos barefoot my feet slip and I have trouble holding a position. So I always wear sneakers. Great question:happy:

I love that phrase "re-inventing me" !!! Glad to see you here. I know you will do well now that you have found MFP!!!

Wow 5 pounds already!!! You ARE doing great!! This is a great site and so much easier to use than others I've tried. Glad you found it and happy to have you here!!

Hi Chris. It takes a strong will to quit smoking. Congradulations!! I know you can get the pounds off too. You picked a great site with tons of motivation and inspiration. Glad to see you here:happy:

Hi Sherrie. Glad to see you here. It's a great site for support and lots of inspiration!! Friend me if you like:bigsmile:

Deal!! And I feel younger every day!!

I like the way you think weaklink:bigsmile: Maybe "fartdom" is a state of mind that will improve with our success here!!

Glad to see you here!! It's nice to see a fellow "old fart" rising to the challenge:):) It seems a lot harder for me at this age and it's motivating to hear your enthusiasm:happy: Thanks and welcome aboard!!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I've been having daily struggles to stay on track and feel my motivation drifting. It really helps to hear how others can turn it around. Your words were uplifting!! Thanks!!

Beautiful bird!! My daughter and I check them out at the pet store every time we go. She would like to get a Conure. The one we visit at the pet store is so friendly!! We have a cockateil named Pepper. I have a picture on my site. He is my daughters bird but we are currently best friends since she is away at college. She…

Fantastic!!! You got me pumped:happy: Thanks!!

Fantastic!!! You have inspired me to get up and go for my walk:laugh: Thanks!!

Hi:smile: Glad to see you here. Sounds like you have all the tools now to make your goal. Your motivation and excitement is contagious!! Thanks!!

Yes I agree with weaklink. I don't count the daily upkeep but the big jobs that take hours I count!! It certainly feels like a workout.

Thanks for sharing. I can't wait to try it!!

Wow, you have done so well to come this far!!! I do understand the problem with nighttime eating. What I'm doing now is taking my 45 minute walk between 7 and 8 PM. I'm working on the habit of not eating after the walk and only drinking water or tea once I get back. The longer I do this the easier it gets, however, there…

I just turned 53 and would love to join your thread. This is new to me. Is there anything I'm supposed to do other than post? I wish fantastic results for everyone in June:) Gail

Hi, glad to see you here:):) How has the food lovers system been working for you? I have not heard of that before. I know you will love this site and find tons of motivation. Sorry, don't know the answer to the ticker on facebook but I know somebody will:) That's an excellent idea!!
