THIS! Take time to sit down and clearly write down what your goals are for yourself. It will help you hold yourself accountable! Welcome to MFP!

Hi, I'm Jessica. I can see that this group has been dormant for some time, but let's see if my post can help bring it back. ;) I will be 42 next month and will be celebrating my 20th wedding anniversary in October. I was diagnosed with arthritis in my knees at 17 and told I would be in a wheelchair by the time I was 40.…

Hello, all! I am a returning member! I first joined a decade ago next month. This is probably my sixth or seventh return. (Soooo much has happened over the years that I kept falling off the bad wagon.) Also this is a test post. I tried to reply to someone else's post in another thread and was told by the website that I…

My spirit sisters! I'm back on MFP for what seems to be the upteenth since I joined in 2011. My first go 'round, I did really well and lost 93lbs on my own. Then I got divorced, my work and school schedules both became full time, my mother died, my husbands grandfather (whom we lived with) was diagnosed with pancreatic…

Gah. 3rd time is charm. Tried to send you a message/friend request. Don't know if it went through.

Hi, Stacie. I'm Jessica and an old newbie myself. I haven't actively participated in the forums for 6 years or more, and I have decided that needs to change. I need motivation, support, and like-minded people who are on the same path to learning to live healthy -- not just to lose weight. Cards on the table: I have been…

I have been wondering the same thing and am glad I decided to check through the subjects before creating a new one. There are some really great thoughts here. Thanks!

I'm 37 years old and face the daunting task of losing 160lbs to meet my goal of 165. I am married (no children unless you count my 5 year old cat) and live in the middle of Podunk, BFE, Indiana about 15-20 miles away from any sort of civilization in any direction. I couldn't tell you how many times this makes for me…

I struggle with this, too. I agree with the above suggested glass of water. I've got a 48 oz mug that I fill with ice water before bed every night. I don't sleep well, or much, so to try to keep me from getting up and snacking, I drink some of it while playing games on my phone. (And yes, I actually get out of bed when…

This made me literally LOL. My husband is like that with onions. I can't even use onion POWDER in anything I cook for us both. I hate it!! I LOVE onions. I struggle with veggie intake horribly. This sounds like a great idea to do to incorporate them, especially since I LOVE the (albeit boxed) cheesy chicken rice and…

That is what I will do then. Thanks!

Hi, there! I am also a returning user. Between 2011 and 2012, I lost 93lbs using MFP. It became my addiction.. but then a thing called life through me down on punches and I got scared and.. well, I could keep using excuses. Bottom line, I'm now under doctor's orders to get this weight off or he won't help me with my knee.…
