Slower Weight loss at 50?

Good morning.
Linda, that sounds nice. Our old house had 3/4 acre, we had a lot of trees and bushes, and there was plenty of wildlife. Our new house is on 1/4 acre, hardly any yard at all, so far just bunnies, birds, and bugs. Oh well.
I stayed on NS food for a 18 months the first time. Probably about 6 months the second time. I didn't mind the food, though it did get boring. But it was highly recommended to me, for health reasons, to get away from eating processed foods and try to go more natural (which can also get boring!) I probably need to start using recipes to make more variety.
Off to body flow class this morning.
Have a happy day, everyone.
Hi Vix
Processed foods may be bad for me, however I suspect not nearly as bad as what the extra weight was doing to my health.
I have a much better quality of life right now.

Haha...I think the dust definitely breeds while we're asleep. And the clutter piles up when we're not looking too. Today is a good day for straightening up. That's what I'm doing too. 0

Good afternoon
I just wrote a long post and forgot to hit post reply and lost everything.
Vix-I googled raccoons and they are nocturnal, but will come out during the day if there is a food source.
Roger-Unfortunately the list is permanent. I am sure I could have some of the food once in a while,
Linda-I grew tired of the dinners and started eating what I cooked for my husband. I had so many dinners stock piled that I switch my plan to dinners on your own. After hearing others talk about the frozen dinners, I ordered some ala carte. Like Roger, I also use the costco gift cards. When they are on sale, I stock up.
Have a good evening. 0 -
Hi All
I Got sidetracked and never did get to the Vacuuming
Hi Joanne, I think I have 20+ of the $59.99 cards left.
I need to get busy and apply to my upcoming order or else pay full price, No Thank You.
I also have so much food left from buying A La Carte that I need to move the order back further
Cheers
Roger

Hi All
I woke up early, For me that is
Brought up News 12 the local cable channel and looked at the weather and decided to walk. When I looked out the window it looked OK, When I went out the front door it was drizzling. So I put on my Frogg Toggs Jacket, put the folding umbrella in my pocket and went anyway. Same route as the last two times. I have planned out a new route that is the same distance for the next walk.
Have a Great Thursday

Hi Vix
Sometimes You need a day or meal off plan to enable staying on plan the majority of the time.
Enjoy the class

Hi Roger,
Yes, after a lifetime of dieting, I realize that once in a while you need a meal or a day off. I'm good with that as long as I get right back on. If I stray more than a day, I'm in trouble!0 -
Hi all just wanted to say I am still hanging on actually lost a pound

dinner sounded nice0

Good Evening;
Hi Irene-congrats on the lb. lost.
Vix-It is good to destress once in a while.
Roger-I have enough costco cards to last me until the end of the year. I usually get on order every other month.
We bought a sunsetters retractable awning for over our deck.The deck gets full sun all day and sometimes it is just too hot to sit outside. Hopefully we will use the deck a little more.
Have a good evening.
PS I have been using my elliptical machine every evening. I am only doing 10 minutes at present but plan to increase by 5 minutes in a few days. I am slowly working up to it.

Jo, good for you for getting back into exercising. And I hope you like your awning. Our deck gets some shade during the day, enough for the 2 of us anyway.
As for the girls' night, we were all feeling pretty stressed so it was good...we all got to talk and let it out. So nice to have girl friends, at any age. And dinner and drinks were yummy!
Irene...so glad you stopped in...we miss you! Congratulations on losing a pound. Yay!
This week seems to be flying by...
Have a good evening, everyone.

Hi All
Happy Friday
It's almost Summer and Fathers Day Both on Sunday.
I walked a different route today .01 miles longer than Yesterday stopping at the Quick Chek for Coffee this time. The walk was OK until I turned onto a different street that blocked the breeze then I did feel the Humidity. It is supposed to be in the mid to high 80s today. Cooler Tomorrow.
Have a Good Day

Good Afternoon;
I went to work today and left my pocketbook at home. I had no money, no drivers license and no chapstick.
I did remember to bring my lunch.
I skyped with my son last night. He has a job interview with Edinburg University on the 26th of June and he got a call back from another company in Manchester that he applied to that is closer to where he lives now. He is leaning more towards the Manchester job. He can commute if necessary. If he takes the University job, they will have to move to Scotland. I am just waiting for him to get settled and then I will make plans to visit. I think we will go for 2 weeks this time.
Have a great weekend. 0 -
Hi all.
Jo, I hate when that happens! At least you had your lunch. Glad you got to skype with your son. How exciting for him. That would be nice for you to go for 2 weeks.
We just booked a trip to Seattle in August for a week. Have never been there, should be interesting. I would like to go to England or Scotland some day....they look beautiful in the shows on TV!
Roger, it's very humid here too. It's raining again, just started a little while ago.0 -
hi all, aw jo at least you had your lunch. Well tonight I have to go to work manatory over time I would rather stay home and sleep oh well I am sure when I get my pay check I will be happy right now I am just pretty tired, I have pretty much been on plan but I don't get to walk to much unless you count all the walking I do at work you would think working 10 hour shifts I would loose it all oh well hope you all have a nice night0

Vix, the NS food is processed food for me since I don't usually eat much processed food. Lol! But it should get me rethinking my portion sizes and self control!
Roger, I don't belong to Costco so haven't ever bought their cards. Called NS to price the upgrade and it was $299 for the first month and then $379 thereafter so I opted out.

You know, buying Ala Carte just might be the answer here since I like trying to make some of my own meals that still fit withing the guidelines!

Joanne, great job getting going on the elliptical! The awning sounds nice, too! Our deck is on the south side and way too hot in the summer, too, so we sometimes think about buying one.0 -

Joanne, I'm hoping to go visit my son in the UK next spring. I was there a few years ago and had so much fun visiting all of the historical sites and buildings! This time I want to go in April or May instead of November which should make it nice for walking!0 -
Good morning
Hi Linda....NS is definitely processed food...that's one reason I stopped buying it. But it did serve it's purpose and helped me get down from being really heavy. Regardless of what the charts say, I'm just a little chubby now, and would like to keep trying to deal with the weight on my own terms. I've had a little success lately, but may be stalling out again. Just have to be a little more careful.
Cool that you're going to visit your son in the UK.
Hi Irene...hope work eases up for you soon. Seems to be a lot of OT there! Hope you're feeling well. Glad you stopped by to say hi.
Happy Saturday, everyone. 0 -
Hi All
One more day until Fathers Day and the first day of Summer.
I walked today, a rerun of Yesterdays route. It was nice while the breeze was blowing but when it stopped I started sweating and that was going out the front door at 6:45AM
Around 11AM when working in the back Yard I started feeling a fine mist, It seems that the rain is starting to arrive early. The worst is supposed to be tonight and Sunday Morning

Hi
You do not need to belong to Costco to Buy the Cards on www.costco.com
They do charge a small surcharge to non members, The last I heard it was $4 a card but even at the regular price where You save $20.01 per face value You would still save $16 a hundred. Nothing to sneeze at as I see it.

Linda-Where does your son live? My son lives about an hour and a half train ride from London.It rains a lot in the spring. Both times we have gone in Sept and the weather was perfect. There is so much to see over there. We plan to spend some time in London and then venture further out, maybe take a day trip to Brusssels or Paris. I have been working every Sunday and all holidays saving up.

We were thinking about going to a wine festival today, but decided to go to a small art gallery in Frederick and walk around the little downtown area instead. It was pleasant, and it didn't involve crowds and wine! So, win-win,
Jo, that trip sounds like it's going to be fabulous!
Linda, how exciting that you're also planning a trip to visit your son.
Roger, it was overcast when we started walking around, but got sunny and hot. Then we had a short t-storm when we got home, there are supposed to be more tonight and tomorrow....we've got to sneak those walks in between! 0 -

Not sure which direction from London, but my son is about the same distance - an hour or hour and a half northeast - Colchester. Two of my other sons have gone, too, and they were able to visit Amsterdam, Paris, and Belgium. They had a great time!0 -
Vix, sounds like a really nice way to spend the day!
I worked out in the yard for maybe 45 minutes and began melting. It was humid today so I moved indoors and did some housework. Need to lose a lot more weight before I can move around like I used to and zip through stuff!0
