Old Grey Mare
Hi all, My name is Janie and I have been on MFP for a while, but I guess I had a serious concussion from a bad fall "off the wagon" a while ago. Many things have happened since then, which all make it more important than ever to take care of myself - no matter what I like to tell myself, I am not getting any younger. I…

Has white bread always been this gummy?
My 10-year old made me a sandwich today because I wasn't feeling good. After that much thoughtfulness (from an everyday princess), I didn't have the heart to tell her I'd prefer wheat. Two bites and it just became glue - don't remember it being this yucky... LOL- guess I have come a long way in that regard... Now if only…

Watch out for Norovirus

I live in Southeast CT. The…

my x-mas present to me
For today, I've decided that I will log all my food, be as active as possible, and do everything I can not to sabotage my goals. In return, I will not obsess, worry, stress out over any slip ups that may occur. I may (or may not) go over my calories, but I will not beat myself up - I have tomorrow to straighten it all out.…

afternoon slump
Just like clockwork - it is now 2 pm and I could just lay my head on my desk and sleep for an hour. Does anyone else have so precise a slump time as that. It seems that every day at 2 pm, no matter where I am or what I have eaten, I get a major case of the suddenly tired's. Any ideas out there?? It is tough to get…

Hi out there from chilly CT
Hi all. I'm a new member from Connecticut and am psyched to be a member of this group. So far, it seems like a really inspirational program. I have a lot of work to do to get down to a more healthy weight and many pressures that makes this particularly challenging, but totally necessary. If I can only get past the part of…
