  • 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.…
