Thanks for all the great ideas. Reading through all the suggestions, I'm realizing its a boredom thing. I'm not hungry, I'm bored. My schedule has recently changed, I normally work 2 or 3 jobs but right now I'm only working one so I'm home earlier at night. Last night my volleyball group started playing again and I had no…

@KATRENAJ you may not have dropped a lb, but you didn't gain any either. Plus getting your sugars down...Awesome job!! Sounds like you have a lot going on, but your handling it. Keep up the good work!

@SammyKlingler walking a puppy is a work out. Push your self a little more with it. Change your pace...Walk at a faster pace for a min+ then your normal pace for a min+ and back up to that fast pace. You could also increase your distance or tackle some big hills.

@KATRENAJ Glad to see your back. Sounds like a beach vacation is exactly what you needed. Don't worry about that 2.6 lbs... Vacations are suppose to be worry free and that 2.6 will come off quickly. Figure out a routine for planning your meals and you'll be right back on track. Set your self a mini goal this week...…

" You are not shy. You are tall or short. You’re blonde or brunette or a fiery redhead. You are funny, clever, kind or maybe quick witted. Those are things which you are. Your shyness is just something hiding who you are, and it’s removable." Came across this inspiring post about How to be Confident and thought I would…

Welcome to all the new faces. My goal this week is to log all my food... good or bad. I need to write it down and hold my self accountable. Monday went well. Today will go well too :smile: @Yennyboops Set your self a schedule at home that you can only have one snack at a certain time and have those snacks prepped in the…

@kakolimukherjee73 Welcome to the group. I'm a newer member but I gotta say this group is great. Very active and lots of great advice. I'm on the same roller coaster as you. I would recommend just taking it one day at a time. I have found the most success by changing a few small things here an there and they turnout to…

Thanks for the on the go dinner ideas.

Does anyone have certain healthy go to's from fast food or convenience stores when they are on the run? I keep picking up unexpected work shifts that I didn't plan for so I get stuck eating in my car from one job to the next. Lately when this happens I've been picking up a sandwich but I'm looking for more suggestions.

@Jessec80 Nice work!!

@canyonGeek never too late to start. I do it as a hobby and side job. Do you have any volunteer EMS or Fire agencies near you? Contact them and see about observer time.

Hey guys, I fell off the band wagon and have done an awful job at logging in. I need to make my self accountable and I think joining a group challenge will help. Is it too late to join the Think Spring Challenge?

@jules81 welcome to the group. I'm new here too but the motivivation and support these group members give each other is fantastic. Plus they are extremely welcoming. @raindogmaa Some times you just got to eat the cake and enjoy life. Eat healthy the rest of the day and remember how sick all that sugar made you feel and it…

@happygirlxxx Thanks for the recipe. I think I'll give it a try next week. Do you rice your cauliflower? @Nikion901 Thanks for the seasoning ideas. I'm always looking for new combinations to jazz things up and get me out of my comfort zone. @b_lisieux Sorry to hear about your back. My fiance just did that to his back this…

Thanks for all the welcomes! @happygirlxxx thanks for the tea suggestions. I'll be on the look out for them the next time I go shopping. Do you have a recipe you could share for the shrimp cauliflower fried rice? It sounds delicious. @Nikion901 what type of spices and herbs did you use in your soup? @tdunnegan Congrats on…

Hey guys, I've been on MFP for quite a while on and off. I recommitted my self back in Sept and have been going pretty strong since then. I had a bit of a hiccup through the holidays but I'm back at it and looking for an active group to participate with. You guys seem like you have a great support system and I'm hoping I…

Hey guys, I'm looking for new friends. I turned 35 this summer and its time I focused on my health. My main goal is to drop 100lbs but my first mini goal is to drop 25. I've been back on the healthy track for just over a month now. To help me stay on track I'm looking for supportive friends to hold me accountable and…

Feel free to add me.

Hey guys, I'm looking for new friends as well. Ive been on and off MFP for a while. I started back about a month ago and looking to loose about 100lbs. This time I've been trying to find friends that actively comment on each others news feeds. I find the support helps keep me on track. Feel free to add me!

Free free to add me.

Hey, It seems like were looking for the same thing and maybe we can help each other out. I need to lose about 100 lbs as well and am looking for friends to help hold me accountable. I'm just getting back to being on MFP after a hiatus and I think to keep me going I need friends that are going to interact, more then just a…

I can always use new friends. Anyone can feel free to add me.

Anyone can feel free to add me. I'm always looking for new friends on the journey. I started a few weeks ago at 305 and I'm down to 296.
