Hello, I was active on MFP about 2 years ago, and found it really helpful. I went from the high 180s to 169 currently, through sporadic logging and no regular exercise.

'Tis the season to be insulted by family members?
Is it too much to ask to go through one holiday season without a family member commenting on weight or food intake?
