Hi Keri, Congrats on the recent low! And I'm so glad you are restarting this thread just as I'm restarting MFP. We did have a great group and fab successes with fitness on here years ago! Looking forward to continuing the journey with you and making new friends here :smile: About me: I recently turned 49, and I need to get…

SW: 229 CW: 225 GW: 180

A wee bit late to the start of the party, but so happy I ran across this! I'm in too! Lost 40lbs a few years ago with MFP, and gained back most of it. At least I believe in the success of making this commitment :smiley: especially together! Starting weight: 229 Goal weight: 180 Current weight: 225 Total weight lost: 4 This…

Back at MFP as of yesterday, after a long hiatus and gaining back 33 of the 40 pounds I had lost a couple of years ago with this awesome community. My long term goal is to lose 70 lbs. Just turned 47, self-employed (ie, cray cray schedule!), single, adult daughter living in another state. Looking for pals and loving the…

What a great idea! I need to look into getting my Wii set up to do this!

It's about knowledge, not self-criticism :-)

LUV Halloween!!! Great thread! AARGH!! My honey (skid68) and me last Saturday =D

*LIKE* hahahaha bay area ;-)

cuteness!! what an attractive couple you make. WOOT!

Embrace grazing. I have found that when I listen to my body, I need less in my stomach to feel satisfied and prefer mini-meals during the day. So, at the holidays, instead of gorging in one big meal, I will try to keep the calories spread out.

Dry red wine is part of life, and learning how to incorporate it with healthier lifestyle choices has been a challenge, to say the least :grumble: The article gave some good ideas, like upping protein and lowering carb intake on drinking days, in addition to just plain ol' moderation. Thanks for the great post and link to…

Freaking awesome! Good luck & keep us posted. Btw, how ever shall we refer to him when he is no longer the non-boyfriend boyfriend on MFP ;-) We could abbreviate perhaps... NBFBF? Super happy for you!
