Hi Everyone,
I am a newby to the program. This isn't the only program I have done before.
I am still trying to lose weight and I am 61 years old. Any people around my age
trying to lose weight? I need your support to keep plugging at this and now it is
for health reasons. :smile:
Hope to talk to you soon.

    Hi, keep trying to lose weight. Not only for being thin, we can do it also for a good health. I left the program for about a month but now I will try to keep records of everything. I wasnt losing weight as I was not eating more than 1,200 calories a day, my scale was showing no progress so I got kind of frustrated. I talked to an RD and she told me what important is to have more than this calories. I will continue with the program. Lets do it, sure you can.

    Hi again,

    Thanks for your support. Good luck with the 40th reunion and the new wife:grumble:
    I was on an on line program called Shrink Yourself. All about why you are eating and when
    you are eating. I didn't lose a pound but gained insight.
    I am also on a 1200 calorie program. We will see if it works for me.
    Yesterday I ate over that amount and lost two pounds.
