Welcome Craig to MFP!!!! You already made a positive moe,,, sojump aboard and lets get started. I've been struggling the past 2 years with my weight loss journey, but i've never given up..so dont ever quit no matter how long it takes..its not an easy road to travel but keep focused!! Join me on my journey, and i'll be sure…

WELCOME BACKMFP LAND!!!:flowerforyou: Glad you followed the yellow brick road and landed here. We all have had a bump in our roads been caught up in a tornado of emotions, however...you came back to where you know success can be the key...to healthy living. I have been here since 2011 and I havent gotten it right yet, but…

You said a mouthful..no pun intended....exactly what i feel..i sabotage myself always...do well..then let my emotiona take control....how do u finally figure out what it is u r cramming the food into your mouth for??? I just cant seem to make it surface....

:smile: I'm sitting here in admiration.....for you....it takes alot to sit down and write down your raw thoughts..to read all the anguish life has dealt but to have the adversity to bounce up and grasp a lifeline no matter how minute it may be.....Your heart has had a few cracks form, but because of your experience, you…

Thru eating disorders and depression episodes, the weight can just sneak up on you....because..you ignore the signals...you check out of life and only function as a shell of a person...till something triggers your survivor mode and you come back ...and realize the damage you have caused yourself...

Well written post....putting down your feelings and thoughts helps others. Lot of it was relateable ( if thats a word )....Food becomes our "comfort" for numerous reasons..and b4 you know it the scale can tip in astronomical numbers....sometimes i wonder how much my body can take...quite a bit at times....but reading your…

All I can say is WOW!!!! What strength you displayed when the odds were against you.What courage you had to keep believing in yourself. That couldnt of been an easy journey..none really are...but you defeated every hurdle. I am in awe....thanks so much for sharing your story!!:heart:

Will keep an eye open for nx TBL!!:wink:

I am always ready to support new friends, but i must warn you....i want friends who give as good as they get...i understand some arent able to comment everyday...but i figure support should be available at least 2 times a week....giving support helps ...it keeps you out of the kitchen!!!! LOL!!! Add me if you like....i'll…

So it goes to show you, u just never give up..I've learned…

I'm sure the physician she works for would be appalled if he knew his nurse was asking patients she felt comfortable with for their unused scripts...She is jeopardizing all her fellow co-workers employments if this should ever be discovered and the clinic closed down. I , myself, would be disturbed by this incident...as I…

Hello group banders...Fall is coming around the corner, sort of marks the last quarter of the year....So why dont we make a run for it.

One word of advice when u get the lap-band done,,, pay close attention to your body and its signals...when u feel full...STOP!!!! Otherwise u will cause vomiting issues, and thats not pleasant...even if u only eat one or two bites...your body will tell u thats enuff!!! I'm sure there is alot of folks with All kinds of…

Hello Bandsters!!! I had a vertical-banded gastroplasty almost 10years ago come the end of October.....decided on the band becuz it was the closest thing that allowed you to still digest your food more normally without bypassing too many routes that the body normally traveled. Its been a great tool for me...but what i…
