New to TOPS - Love to make new friends!
My name is Charice and I just joined TOPS. I go to my first meeting on Tuesday. To be honest, I don't know a lot about TOPS so I was happy to find this group. Any suggestions and friend requests would be appreciated!

Starting over
So, I am not particularly new to MFP, but I haven't been on for a couple of years. I had a serious health problem that required 4 surgeries and took me out of the game for about 2.5 years, but it looks like I am finally getting healthy and ready to lose some weight! Unfortunately, I am starting from the heaviest I have…

Depo Provera problems...???'s
So I got the Depo shot the middle of August and have been in Hell ever since. I have so many side affects I can't even list them all...the biggest issues are weight gain (8 lbs so far), tired, achy, dizzy, headaches, etc. Anyway, my Dr has agreed that this is NOT for me and we will NOT be doing a second shot! My question…

I was wrong!
I took some picts back in January at the start of the journey...I didn't see a lot of change so I haven't taken pictures again until a couple of weeks ago. I didn't even dare do a comparison because I was afraid of not seeing any progress. I am very happy to admit that I was WRONG! I am really glad I took some more picts!!

Hungry in Philly! Help?
I am attending a conference in Philadelphia and it doesn't seem to matter what I eat or when, I am hungry all the time! I am talking serious hunger pangs. I am walking a lot for the conference, and I am trying to drink lots of water, but I can't handle always being hungry! I am afraid I am going to undo the last six months…

Scary experience...but great NSV!
I was driving home on a rural highway and the car right in front of me suddenly veered off the road and rolled a couple of times and came to rest on the passenger side. Of course I stopped, told my kids to stay in the car and ran over to help. There was a dad and his 6 month old daughter in the car. They were both wearing…

Advice needed: Trouble eating
OK, I have never had this problem but the last few days I have stepped up my exercise and since I did that I am having trouble eating. I'm not just talking about the extra exercise calories, I mean just eating. I feel fine in every way, have a lot of energy, but I start eating something and my stomach starts feeling really…

Logging jogging vs. walking
OK, I will just admit it upfront, I am slow....really slow! But my question is this...my jogging pace is about 4.2-4.5, but when I go to log my exercise it only lists walking at that pace. Does it really matter if I am walking or jogging at that pace, is the cal burn the same? Thanks for any help in advance...and yes, I am…

Suggestions for "higher calorie" but still healthy foods.
I need some help with finding some healthy foods that are still higher in calories. I'm not trying to be weird, but here is my problem. I have never counted calories...I have done Weight Watchers for several years...and I have never added back in my exercise calories. I have always tried to keep everything down by eating…

Need some advice on a treadmill issue...
So I acquired a used treadmill. I am thrilled because it allows me to work out in my basement which is easier than getting ready and going to the gym, and with my kids watching TV or just there with me so they don't feel like "Mom's gone again". Anyway, my issue is that the display on the treadmill does not work correctly.…

And so it begins...love some friends.
So, I'm sure like most people, I am not new to the weight loss game. I have tried almost every diet at one point or another over the past 20 years, but I keep ending up back where I started. This time I am taking a different approach. This time, it is a journey, not a destination...this time it is mental, spiritual, and…
