Yup 2 this week

So amazing! Great job!

I do when i am out with friends too. Its difficult sometimes but I am hoping it gets better for both of us.

This so speaks to me, my mom has always been my biggest critic but at the same time guilt me for not eating all the time. I became really depressed at one point in my 20's and lost some weight inadvertantly and she told all her friends that I lost weight thanks to her. When I gained weight again and kept gaining weight she…

Need to lose 100lbs too!

The PF app has videos for the different machines and the circuit.

Prepackaged hard boil eggs for a snack. I was surprised to see them so picked them up.

I have really liked using the instant pot but I can't say I've been using it for healthy foods. I've made ribs and pulled pork in it and both turned out great. I have made pulled chicken breast no sauce which is good for sandwiches and salads and making chickpeas from dried without soaking which was the best!

I would really like to have some accountability buddies too. The last couple of months have been difficult and I really need to get back on track.

I've come back to MFP about 6 months ago, are there still people interested in meeting up to discuss progress and challenges with our food issues? I'm in the East end.

I recently has issues with hairloss and thinning hair because of a stay at a hospital I had I started to use sulphur free shampoo and conditioner and use coconut oil to massage my scalp and moisturize my hair. I'm not sure if it will work but it helped me from slowing the hair fall.

Do you think its better to go to a gym or to set up your own home gym? Me and my husband were looking at bowflexes but I've been looking into free weights I'm overall very confused about what is best.

Thanks everyone for your input. I think I have a better idea of what to do now. I normally prefer meals but I may leave the smoothies as a pick me up snack instead of replacing a meal. And if I'm low on protein for that day I'll make sure if I add protein powder or greek yogurt I'm within my calories. Thanks for the advice…

Good luck on your journey and I'm so sorry about your mom.

I feel you issue, I have a similar situation too. Sometime I'm good sometimes I'm not! But I think you will always have challenges if its not your significant other its going to be vacation or a party or a restaurant or whatever! Try your best to pick the right things. He'll see you trying and will respect it after awhile.…

I'm always looking for new friends, so that we can inspire each other! Feel free to add me.

Self sabotage is what always derails me. I'm trying hard not to let it but at night time I know I'm not hungry but just really want something to munch on. I thought I would get out of that habit but still doing it.I keep hearing that after sometime all of this becomes my new habits and some things have been like checking…

Bumping up.......thank you for the research.

I'm a bit older than you (late 30's) but I have 130lbs to lose. I'm in the East End, sending a friend request now! There's also a group on this site as well.

On the cusp or past the point for diabetes depending on the doctor, hoping to reverse it before it gets worse. Hope it helps my relationship too!

Toronto here, feel free to add!

I'll add you, I'm not the best at this at all but its good to have motivation when you just want to quit. And good on you for coming back!

Sometimes I seem to be heavier in the morning than in the night. I haven't been able to figure it out.

Bumping so I can check this out later.

I've had the same problems too with just thinking I'll forever be fat. I want to change that now, I hope I can do that and I think you can do. You quit smoking which is HUGE! You can do this, it won't be easy but it must be possible. I keep hoping that myself. And you know if you want that bag of chips, look at the calorie…

I hate buffets because I have no self control. Too many options and I want to try a bit of everything and you want to get your money's worth too. Because I'm cheap and I like eating I need to avoid them like the plague. But if you aren't cheap like me and you have to go maybe start with a really big plate of salad (not too…

I don't take it either, my doctor is just asking me to lose weight so that I can avoid diabetes. I was put on it once before but although I did lose weight with it, it came back and I didn't like how I felt on it. Also if I can get myself on track without the drugs I'll feel better about it. I think for some doctors as…

Adding you soon, I am a daily logger too so far and I really want to keep it up!

I'm between 5'1 and 5'2 and my goal is 130 right now. I have a long way to go so as I get closer I hope I can better evaluate how my body is responding and what will be healthy for me.

I agree with the above, she might be scared that you will leave her if you lose all of the weight. She might be sabotaging you out of fear!
