I will be glad to be your friend, Old lady living on an island in the caribbean where food is expensive and it's easy to fall down because of our hills and rocky terrain. :happy:

Everyone is trying to help you. If you don't have a clue on how to cut sodium, start reading the labels of everything you put in your shopping cart. Too much sodium, don't buy it. Check sugars as well. So many foods have hidden sugars. Just don't buy those foods. No sodas either, diet or otherwise. Watch juice intake, it…

I was disappointed to have gained a pound on my weigh in today. When I began logging my foods and joined the community, I had an injury to my trapezius muscle and had stabbing pains which I had to take medication for. I really could not get out of bed for a few days. I didn't eat much, so I knew I could gain some weight.…

No. Not trying to blame the cookie consumption on her at all. I just had one of those brilliant self discoveries because of the incident. Like I said, this is the first time I have connected stress eating with myself. Light went on in my head. I agree, I should have packed only one cookie. I packed them all with the…

Thanks everyone. It was just three cookies which is not my normal. I am more upset with myself for letting my colleague get my goat, so to speak, than I was at eating the cookies. It is just the fact that she does this frequently and I seem to be the one getting her "correcting". She is NOT our supervisor.

Parents should test out the potential name by yelling it out the back door several times.

My daughter was taking the baby to the nursery at the gym and a mother was picking up her little boy. His name was Skyden. After reading all of the posts, I am just shaking my head.

I would like to say that you rock that look but BWWWAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

Welcome to MFP. Check in every day and fill out your food diary. Good luck with your adventure. You can do it.

Welcome! Congratulations on a big step in your life. You are making a lot of changes, all for the better. Be true to your food diary and checking in daily to see what others post. Will be glad to be your friend.

I have high cholesterol related to thyroid disease (who knew?) Anyhow, after years of being borderline, my doctor suggested medication. I tried the statins and had severe muscle aches and weakness. He switched me to Zetia which works differently and I have no side effects and it is working to lower my numbers. I also take…

I wear Asiacs for work and for working out and walking. I am on my feel 90% of my day at work and these have excellent arch support.

Just thought of two more. These are true names of people I worked with. Switzerland Elks (a woman) and Hiawatha (can't remember the last name--a guy in the medical field. So just for fun, if anyone's last name is Morris, why not name your kids Doris Deloris Morris and Horace Boris Morris?

I have worked in health care for many years and have heard plenty of dumass names. Makes me wonder what in the world parents are thinking Virgin Mary--born at Christmas Chairaia--Chair + Rail + A + Chair rail ya The people who name their kids after cities or where the kid was conceived (tee hee--oh please!!) The self…

Men can never win. No matter what they say, it will be wrong. I think he was attempting to make you feel better about yourself. Unfortunately, he failed to notice that you were distressed over your clothes not fitting. It was NOT a comfort to hear that you were ok . In his eyes, he loves you like you are. He needs to be…

I love the stuff too, but the first ingredient is carbonated water followed by sugar and corn syrup--just another sugar. Treat yourself to once a week. Buy the small bottles so you can ration out what you drink. Don't even drink the diet kind. Drink water instead.

Walking is good. Change the incline, walk up a hill if you are able. You can go through the motions of dumbbell curls without using any weight. Keep your range of motion going. Be patient. Healing is the most important thing right now. Eat well with protein, fruits and vegetables to give your body the best nutrients to…

A well deserved congratulations is in order. Love the photos you have taken of yourself. You can see the muscles coming on. Don't stop!!!!!

Don't treat yourself badly because of him. You know you will feel worse if you eat it. Next, read the ingredients in the cookie dough. Do you really want to eat that? NO. So go take a walk, cry, laugh, whatever you have to do. Stick with your program. "This above all: To thine own self be true" William Shakesphere

Once a week, in the morning without my clothes and before I've eaten anything.

Oh geez, as I have gotten older, it is quite clear that men no longer look at older women. Fortunately, I still get some look from men and a smile. That makes me feel good. I have to wear baggy, unflattering scrubs at work with a cap to cover my hair. I always wear my glasses to protect my eyes from body fluids. My glasses…

Some people truly have disgusting personal habits. Nose pickers, street spitters, loud swearing in public, parents who think their children's bad behavior is cute or should be tolerated by the rest of us. Let's see, men in speedos, coughing without shielding it from the rest of the public, not washing hands in the public…

I guess mine is obvious. I keep forgetting that I have dimples until I hear, "that chick has some really nice dimples"

Bad idea. If you snack while studying, you could get carried away. Study for a while and then take a dedicated break. Eat your food, drink some water and go back to studying. Measure out the snack in advance and give yourself a 15 minute break.

Break it down so it doesn't seem so overwhelming. You didn't say how much you want/need to lose, but let's say it is 20 pounds. So set your goal for 5 pounds. When you reach that, make it 5 more and so on. There are several calculators with BMI (metabolic rates, etc), weight charts for your height and so on.

We have one like that too. I think it is unsanitary even if nobody licks their finger. I am sure housekeeping never cleans it.

Don't get obsessed with the scale. It takes time to start losing weight, so give it a little time. I weigh myself once a week at the same time of day with the same amount of clothes on. Don't be afraid of the scale. It's just a machine, you rule over it.

I am a medical profession. Please see your doctor right away. A nutritionist could help you with diet plans and goals, what foods to eat and recipes for a healthy lifestyle. You must eat at least 1000 calories a day or your body will think you are starving and start breaking down your muscles. Next start by taking baby…

I got trapped in an elevator and after five minutes of pushing various buttons, I was able to get out. You can bet I took the stairs to my destination.
