Monday 9/22/14
Good morning ladies and gents!! Hope this finds everyone happy and well this morning. I just wanted to start this morning with a random quote that we received at work today. I feel this is very true for all of us: “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” Unknown On this…

Conversation with Best friend
My BFF and I gained a lot of weight over the years. I had lap band surgery in 2009.... didn't lose a #. I had VSG in 2012, lost about 65 #s, gained 10 back and so I started here. Well this morning I emailed my BFF as this weight has gotten to me. Horrible self-confidence, horrible self-esteem... just feeling down about…

? for people with mobility issues
Hi. I started MFP about 1 year ago... on and off. mostly off. Monday 9/9/14 I came to the conclusion I'm going to DIE if I don't do something about the excess weight that I am carrying around. With that said, I have a bulging disc at L5 that is sitting on the nerves running down my leg. This is an intense pain but I have…

? for those on here with mobility issues
I know that MFP people are not docs, personal trainers, or other health professionals. With that said.... I have a bulging disc at L5 that sits right on the nerve running down my left leg. I have a hard time walking but tonight I am going to attempt a 10 minute walk. I was just wondering if anyone here might have good…

May 12th challenge
I'm posting this as I drank 2-regular sodas yesterday (@32oz total).... which is totally not me. I tend to drink water, mix ins or bigelow's cranberry/apple drink (delish). I am highly addicted to caffeine. To the point that I take a caffeine pill to get me thru the day. I don't drink coffee..... I cannot stand the taste.…
