I found that diet sodas gave me headaches. After a while there was some level,of pain constantly and severe migraine levels several times a month. After I dried out, if I had one, the pain would begin several hours later.

I made 100 days in a row today, and I too recently came back to MFP. I quit smoking 12 years ago and still miss it at times. I quit soda last year b/c it was giving me chronic head aches. I try to respond to my friends in someway at least once a day. It bothers me if they never say anything about anything. I teach and have…

Maybe get involved in something you're interested in with a group of people, like volunteering.

Great Attitude!

Sugar in any form lead to a blood sugar spike and fall, which can lead to you feeling hungry kind of quickly. That's why I've gotten big into veggies for snacks.

Goodwill rocks! You can find lots name brand stuff and maybe let a style find you. 90% of my clothes come from there and it's lead me to wear things that look great but that I wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

1pound

Ah, maybe you should give yourself the muffin if and only if someone, in natural conversation, uses the word, "centrifugal" Then it's destiny and a salad for lunch:)

Down .5

Good Luck! Consider reading You on a Diet by Dr. Oz. Lots of good advice about how/what to eat to avoid hunger pains.

Read MFP, magazines, books, or blogs daily to stay mindful of ways to make positive changes.

Sounds like good thinking! I hope you find somebody:)

:)

You can take a break on actively trying to lose. Just don't take the break from eating healthy. Also sounds like you should explore new food instead of being bored. Also maybe do some reading. I find that reading about somebody else's journey helps me reflect on own :)

Down 1 :)

Good for you!

I'm looking for the same thing and glad to try and give it:)

Got 250 and surprised how much easier it got so fast:)

Excellent attitude! I came here to be healthier. I let it slide a bit and now I'm getting focused again too:) Add me as friend if you need any more support.

TOD during first week so I went down 4lbs. Too bad I know that can't happen again:)

Oh dear Jesus! It might kill me, but I'd rather do this than cut flour:)

Sounds like a plan! Add me if you'd like a buddy:)

Ah, I know that corner:) And I know knowing what to do but not doing it. Blue crayonz has good advice, though, plus a cool name.

Please add me if you haven't found a twin yet or if you'd like more "family" Age: 42 H: 5''4' SW: 184 Also, I have 2 kids and am in Education. (I'm also really happy that I just figured out how to "quote" a post.)

I'm in, but I'm not going to be able to manage a picture today. Weight this AM was 184.

Heyya, I'm trying to get re-motivated after too long away. Please add me if you like:)

I was lucky. When my kids were little, they loved yogurt (which I despise). There was a fancy whipped, whole milk kind that they would eat and eat and eat.

I've gotten off track and put back on like five pounds. Now I'm refocusing. At least I've kept 30 lbs off for close to a year! Much luck to you!

You on a diet.

I'm hearing that eating food you like is something that happens when you aren't working on weight loss. You can eat to lose and eat the food you like, but you have to want to get control. I also have to say that eating healthy food tastes good. I don't want to settle for junk when I could have healthy instead. But it…
