  • I can totally relate, when I first started I didn't recognize myself in the mirror I had put everyone and everything before me. I thought I was doing the right thing until a health scare and I realized that if I didn't take care of me I wouldn't be around to love and take care of my family. Now 10 months later I look in…

  • Happy New Year!! I have been using MFP but I have not done a lot of posting or really understand how this all works... So I have a few questions if you don't mind teaching an older dog some new tricks. 1) how do I join? your group 2) some of you have mentioned bookmarking this thread, how do I do that? 3) I can't seem to…

    in What is your WHY? Comment by rupert2011 December 2014
  • I totally understand and live the same challenges... Depression, anxiety, over analyzing life and situations, it's exhausting. I would love to travel this journey with you, I'm not perfect in my choices but I work on it everyday.. let's support each other.
    in Looking for a few close friends who understand the struggles of a lifestyle change and depression Comment by rupert2011 November 2014
  • I totally understand, when I started my new journey I was quickly outgrowing my size 20 pants and they were the only ones I could squeeze into. I've been working hard for ~8 months, what makes this time different is I'm logging "everything" on MFP and I'm exercising. I've gone thru all the sizes in my closet and finally…
    in When you drop a pant size or two Comment by rupert2011 November 2014
  • For me: taking myself seriously. Considering myself worthy of looking fantastic. Which mean: not sabotaging myself. Not slipping into old habits. Doing this for me and forever because I want to treat myself the best way possible. [/quote] This

  • This is hard stuff. You gotta fight. When you haven't always loved yourself that's pretty tough sometimes.

Yep when I hit my 40 pound loss I cried, sometimes when I'm working out and the old me is yelling…

  • Thank you all for your messages and thoughts, I'm using MFP and staying at ~ 1,300 calories per day and losing 1 to 1.5 lbs a week. I'm working hard to make a "life style" change not a diet so I'm just not sure it's the road for me. I'm really working on making good choices. Anyway thanks again.
    in Carb Cycling? looking for opinions on this concept. Comment by rupert2011 August 2014
  • Ha ha, I should explain, I am female.. my login name is after my dog Rupert :) I'm 54 and 5 foot tall so I have a ways to go. I am the poster child for always putting everyone elses needs above my own and I just let myself go... I decided in March of this year it was my turn to focus on me and my health. It's been hard to…

  • Thank you for your comment, I do worry about your second point. I have become obsessed with tracking my food intatke, I use a food scale and measure everything! I also walk a mile every morning and ride my exercise bike about 3 times per week for 3 miles. Maybe I need to add some calories (protein) and see if that helps.
