Evening is hard, feel free to add me for support. We can all use more friends.

It is a struggle for me also. Every 2 yrs I decide I need to lose weight. Then I lose 40 lbs. Then I started eating junk and the weight starts coming back. I start feeling crappy. I can't stop myself. Well I'm back again doing it again. I'm not giving up and neither should you. We got this... Feel free to add me for support

I also suffer from depression. About 5 yrs ago I was hospitalized for 5 days because of it. I had been depressed for so long and didn't realize it. It's taken me a long time to get my medications correct so I could function normally. I still get moody but now I can figure out what and why caused it. A long with doing…

Welcome Mariette, you will love MFP. Lots of support and places to get information. Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck in your journey and Merry Christmass

Hey Diana, small world right. Just read your information. I think you would be great for me on this journey. I have found that this is so much more than a weight loss journey, it has been a spiritual journey for me also. I have managed to find some inner peace while on this journey of mine. I can't even explain it. In the…

Hi, I have lost 45 lbs total, I think about 24 since MFP. Feel free to add me. Welcome

Hello everyone, have not done well this month. Getting back on track the last couple of days. Feels pretty good to eat well. Going to Doctor tomorrow we will see what she says.Monica from SD

The big city of Stratford SD. 300 people live here LOL

You have a lot going on with the Asperger's . I do know a little about Asperger's. It would seem to me that everything you are going through are typical of Asperger's disease. This disease is a training of your mind in itself. Your thoughts and action are harder for you because of the Asperger's. Don't be so hard on…

We all get frustrated from time to time. That is a long time to only lose 7 lbs. Would love to know more about your situation as far as health, eating habits and exercise. Not being nosy just thought I could offer some suggestions if I was more informed.

You obviously have the interest, so my suggestion is "Don't put it off today cause tomorrow might never come." Make the time to just do it. I am very good at the to busy thing. I am going through that right know. So I am also going to follow my advice and get back to the gym. I have to say, I have seen you on several…

We all need support from time to time.

Ok, I have read all the comments on here. I actually think they all have very good points that they are making. I work in a dietary department and what I get out of what you are saying is the following. You are in no way meeting your calorie needs per day for the amount of exercise you do and just the amount your body…

found out on Wednesday I was passing stones. Ouch. So of course I have been sick since, until today I finally feel better. But my problem always has been when I am sick I can not eat normal foods. I can only eat junk food. I sometimes think I am the only person that can gain wt. when I am sick LOL. So of course between me…

I posted earlier but I can't find it. So I will try again. My name is Monica I am from Stratford South Dakotal. Started MFP over 80 days ago, still working hard on getting it all together. Like the idea of have a support group in my age bracket. My highest wt. was 208 lbs then finally got to 183 lbs. this has happen…

For me mood eating is the worst. I do see a Doctor to help me with this. She is fantastic. This is something I have done my entire life, so of course it doesn't just stop because I am on a journey to a healthy life style. I needed help so I am getting it. This is defiantly a mind set you have to control. First thing to do…

I agree with you ColdPlum. you have to have a plan when your dealing with other issues medically. I guess first off I would like to know what type of Doctor you are working with on this. I do agree with one of the other people who said "chart at the beginning of the day" Plan your meals for the day a head of time and leave…

Have had Thyroid issues for 10 yrs. Taking the medicine keeps you alive. With out it you can die. I guess my first question would be, have you recently had any other medical issues such as surgery's severe illness. These things can change your Thyroid levels a lot. If so I would wait a couple of months and get it rechecked…

Peanut Butter on Bananas is great. I buy that PB2. In case you don't know what that is, it's powdered Peanut Butter that you add water to. They also have it in Chocolate. I love it. Way less Cal. You can order it on line. Have had lots of friends try it and they all love it. Just a thought. Also maybe put it in your…

Good choice, welcome back. Feel free to add me as a friend. Have a great weekend.

Depression is one of the hardest things for me to deal with. I do See a Doctor for depression medications. We meet several times a year to keep me on track and see if we need to tweak my meds. If at anytime i feel they are not working i go in and we visist and see what is going on and if we really need a med change or…

I am 52 and yes we all need support. This app really helps a person realize what we are sticking in our mouth and how it affects us as far a weight. If you lie on here your just lying to yourself right. This has been an up and down struggle for me for 22 yrs. Done using excuses and doing something about it. Hope I can be a…

Did not realize you where not tracking food intake. That is the most important thing you can do, or how do you really know how many calories you are taking in. When you stop logging u just set yourself up for failure. Get back to logging I bet with in no time the weight will start coming off. Success is in the accuracy of…

Have you tried eating your minimal calories per day and not eating your exercise earned calories. Also all that exercise you must have a lot more muscle. Which I am sure you realize weights more than fat. Also maybe step back on the exercise a little, I know that sounds crazy but your body has probably became complacent…

Hello lady's, I am Monica from SD. I am 52 yrs. old. I started my journey with MFP 75 days ago. I have lost over 20 lbs. Had lost 20lbs before that but was stuck. Would also like to be with ppl that understand after 50 it does get harder to lose weight. Not saying we can't just harder. We've had a long time to develop all…
