A New Year's Message
Hi there! It's December 31st, so maybe I'm a little early to catch all the New Year's Resolutioners, but I'll be chilling at home tomorrow, not sitting in front of a keyboard where it's easier to type, so I'm posting now. I'm not a very good welcome wagon. I have the Introduce Yourself forum filtered out, and sometimes I…

I need a hug (and a stepladder)
Joined a gym and got measured yesterday as part of their fitness analysis. My whole adult life, I've thought I was 5'4. They measured me at 5'2. I'm crushed! :lol: My measurement at home puts me at 5'2 & 11/16 (because 16ths matter now!) I'm rounding up to 5'3 when I update my stats :tongue: Nothing has actually changed…

Perspective
Having been here since 2011, I've got a fair bit of weight history in MFP. I lost ~65 pounds in 2012-early 2013 to reach a low of 136. Over the next 5 years, through some ups and downs, I managed to re-gain 50 pounds. Gah! How horrible! What kind of glutton was I to gain 50 pounds?? Then I broke it down by the numbers. 50…

Hi!
Hi, I'm Dana - 37, married, 2 kids (12 and 15), 2 dogs and 1 cat, just living the middle years of my life :smile: I've been a member of MFP since 2011, lost weight, found it again, now I'm back!

Of pregnancy, stretchmarks, and motherhood
This post has been brewing in my mind for a while now. We'll see if I can formulate my thoughts as well here as I did in my head while plugging away on the treadmill this morning (dreadmill, to those of you on my friends list ;) ) It seems I see at least one thread every day, sometime several, posted by a new mother. She's…

Echo - ooo - oo
So this was my old hangout, I remember when Ro0kin started it :smiley: I made a lot of great friends here on my first go with MFP. Now that I'm back for round 2, it seems to be a bit quiet these days! I looked around for a new, shiny geek hangout but alas, found none. Anyone still here?

Can Hunger Masquerade as Thirst?
People here are often told that thirst cues can be misinterpreted as hunger and lead to overeating, but is the opposite true? I stay well hydrated, plenty of pee breaks, pale urine, yada yada yada. Water is my main drink, maybe one tea a day or very occasionally a (regular) soda. Artificial sweeteners are a headache…

Dallas Fan Expo, anyone??
I'll be there with my husband and kids! The guest list is shaping up to be first rate :D Would be fun to keep an eye out for fellow MFPers

Not sure where I fit in
By no means new to mfp. I lost 56 pounds here a few years ago, then life got in the way as it tends to do. I'm back now to lose 35 lbs and regain control

So, uh, Netflix REALLY thinks I should watch this...
I have my doubts.

2 pumpkin patches, 58 lbs before and after
I logged my first meal on MFP on Wednesday, November 9, 2011. I had actually joined in January, but never got off the ground. I weighed 198 pounds, at 5'4" and was simultaneously in denial and incredibly unhappy about how overweight I had let myself become. While I had struggled with my weight somewhat for the last decade,…

Request for help - Samsung galaxy tab won't boot up
Anybody familiar with this problem, I could use some input! It stays stuck on the boot up screen. I can access the Android tools menu, where it gives me a string of 'Error cache not found' type messages. I've tried a hard reset, which should have wiped everything and set me back to factory settings, with the same result. I…

Just another intro!
Hi! I'm Suz, stay at home mom to two elementary age boys. I've lost weight in the past, but always manage to find it again :tongue: This time I'm concentrating on changing my bad habits of inactivity and overeating for good. I have started, stopped, and re-started using MFP. I've lost 15 pounds since November. Happy to be…

Yeah, I'm a geek
I just dropped the xbox controller like, three times in a row (hey, nobody ever accused me of being coordinated!) My expletive of choice? 'Well frak me!' :tongue: And now I want to watch BSG again.
