Hi Alyssa, thank you for starting this group! I'm right down the road in Chicopee. I've only been back on MFP for about a month now. Hope you're still here. I'm a Mom of 3(with their spouses) and a Nana of 6. I'm looking to loose 40 to 50 lbs & gain some strength back. Hope to find more Western MA people along the way.

Hello all! I'm back at MFP (great place to be) after too long. I've gained back 20 pounds, have to do something about that. I'm one of those "skinny girls trapped in a fat body", I'm literally twice the woman I used to be. Of course I did this to myself over time, by eating like I'm 40 years younger and 94 pounds! I've was…

Nice to meet you both! Lol, Keenan, happy to hear you don't have that one issue. I've been being honest with my logging, it worked for me before. I get lazy logging, got to be diligent this time. If you to would like to be friends, just send me a request. Talk soon

Hi Jason, I'm just recently back on MFP. Made it to my 5 year mark in February. It does get easier as you go forward. Susie

Welcome back Valerie! I'm just back after a long absence here also. I've chosen to get back to work on my health and stick to it.

Bump. Thanks everyone for the inspiring info!!

Absolutely NOT, I'm not "dieting" either...I'm here to change my life as you said! I'm learning (or is it relearning) how to eat, play and work healthier. Like Mom taught me eons ago!! Dieting doesn't work...working to change yourself does! Although, I am eating a more nutritious diet; kind of tricky for those who don't…

Awesome transformation! Great work, happy for you! (Not that hairy; maybe because I'm partial to men with body hair)

Sounds delish, thanks for sharing!!

Hahaha I just love this! ^^^ I'm going with Mae West (If only she was alive), she was ahead of her time!

Thank you Nikki, maybe some of the folks being "grammar police" will calm down after reading your post. Coming from a professional it may help. Grammatical criticism on a support site such as this is just uncalled for...We are all here for support!

Love football! I'm a bit of strange fan... Dolphins are my #1 always have been, then I'll root for the Giants & the Pats. I was 5th & 6th grade team rep for suburban football for 9 years while my boys were growing up, loved it!

Who me a MFP addict?? Nah, not me. I'm only on here everyday somewhere between one and 3 hours a day. I can stop, I can really Pete I can. Who needs all the fabulous new family and support we've met here?? I can do this by myself...ahh H&ll, where's those cookies???? I LOVE this drug!!!

I agree, block and report. Naming names is up to you. MFP or not, there are idiots everywhere. It's a shame you had to deal with this. Oh yeah, thanks to all the guys that responded with support!

Bump! Sounds yummy, thanks for posting. It's beginning to be soup weather here in New England!

That's all? lol I've been tempted to log "Sexercise" but, outside of the fact that everyone would have a blast with the tracking of that activity & I have my daughter and a few friends on here, the calorie loss just isn't worth the post! :laugh:

Bump! Sounds yummy, love Riesling too. Thanks for sharing~

Bump! Sounds yummy thank you!

There's something about a man with a nice trimmed "salt & pepper" beard, that's Sexy & Distinguished! Please keep it. :bigsmile:

Bump! I have to learn how to post pics here. I will change my profile pic for now. Great thread btw!

Great thread! I'm a Medical Assistant/Phlebotomist, Mom & Nana too. Full time Phlebotomist for somewhere around 13 years now. Love my job, my patients & my family!!

Hahaha isn't it nice to know we aren't alone in this wonderful addiction! Love it! If anyone would like another site addicted soul to add to their lil MFP family , feel free to add me!

Well I just left the bartender....3 Bass & a shot of Rumplmintz later...I never do Rumplemitz and haven't been out in months! Thank you Mr. Bartender and friends!!!!

You go!!! Not only are you amazing, you look amazing too!!! I'm so happy for you. What a fabulous job you've done!! Big hugs!!!!

Welcome to MFP! You'll love it here and all the amazing people lending support while we are all on this journey! Be faithful logging food & exercise; I log everything that goes in my mouth. Sometimes I'm over and sometimes I'm amazed how far under I am in my counts! Go ahead and add me if you like. Have fun on this journey!

Oh yes, I count them...I count everything I put in my mouth (including gum)! Otherwise I'm only fooling my mind, definitely not fooling my body!

So very true!!

WHOOHOO!!! Good for you, 'cause that stuff just isn't good for us!!

Well, seems to me this is what happens as we age. I too progressively gained after 40. I'm 54 now, quit smoking 6 months ago and oh the weight I gained. Working now on being actively changing my life style. It will take time (it took time to get where I am now) & dedication to be a healthier me! You've come to the right…

I'm in the "west" (South Hadley) but wanted to say Hello and enjoy this journey we're all on!
