WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR OCTOBER 2014

Hello everyone! It's such a beautiful day here! Temps in the 60's. Sunshine out the wazoo! We are packing up to go to the lake this afternoon, and hubby went to the store to get some stuff we needed. I made a list. He just called to say they are having a big sale, so he's going to get some other stuff too. Not very specific. Oh joy. Husbands should be required to have a permission slip from their wives to do shopping. At the register the clerk would say, "I'm sorry sir, this item was not on your approved list."
I was just looking through my list of "friends" and noticed several who have not logged in in several months. I feel bad that I didn't notice before now. Remember CritterSue? She hasn't logged in in four months. I'm such a bad friend!
Robin, I'm glad Bodi got to walk some. I'm sure he enjoyed it.
The joke of the day yesterday:
A rapist, a gangster and a murderer are in the same car...
Who is driving the car?
A police officer!
Have a great Saturday!

Hi everybody! Pretty new here. Just started logging a week ago. I am 53, lost 50 lbs on my own and am down to that last, pesky 15 lbs. So I decided to get some support and motivation from some folks in the same position. Losing weight after 50 is a bear but I have been doing it. Lots and lots of walking. I am lifting free weights and doing yoga too. I gave up drinking anything but water, coffee, tea or juice. As soon as I ditched the booze and soda I lost 15 lbs without much effort at all. I had NO idea I was drinking SO many calories! Anyway, I lost a pound this week. Yay me! And yay you guys! Keep up the good work!0

Oh and my biggest goal is to mentally prepare myself for the holidays so that I don't screw all of this lovely progress up. I am Wendy from Kansas City. Peace!0

Hi everyone.. I'm Karen. I'm 49.. I just started cutting calories for the first time by counting how much everything is I'm consuming. For October I'm shooting for an hour of exercise a day with the diet shift. Goal-by Dec. 7th I want to be down two dress sizes for a black tie event. Since March with aggressive exercise I've lost very little but feeling very light already with Fitnesspal's help figuring out the calories, what to eat /what not to eat. I'm from Fairfax, VA. USA0

Hello all lovely ladies! My name is Lyza, aka Big Muscles53, I am 61, and I have lost 20 pounds since I was diagnosed with type II diabetes in August. It hasn't been easy, but the encouragement of reading how everyone else is fighting to get healthier and being honest with themselves is very motivating. A week after I was diagnosed with diabetes I got a sonogram report that I had a large ovarian cyst, discovered because I'd pestered my doctor into ordering tests since my sister had uterine cancer...long story short, total hysterectomy, the cancer was well contained, encapsulated, no signs of metastasis but still I am opting for 6 cycles of chemotherapy, commencing in two weeks. My goal will be to continue to eat well, keep moving and motivated, stay healthy despite side effects, and come out of this with more compassion for those who suffer and appreciation for what I have. Bottom line - if there is cancer in your family pester your doc to get tests, especially as you get older. The squeaky wheel gets the grease!0

Hello chicas (borrowed from Allison, haha), I just wanted to mention a book I use from time to time, called "Small-Batch Baking", by Debby Maugans Nakos. It's mostly sweet stuff, but there are some rolls etc. in there.
Katla, sounds like your lesson was good. Did you do the thing where you touch your right toes with your left hand and vice versa?
Robin, do you have (or need) one of those harness things for Bodi, so you can support him when he is getting tired?
Michele, ah, I get the hay/straw thing now. Sounds like good advice to take straw. I've never seen hay in gardens; maybe those seeds are the reason.

Another post cut in 1/2.......Grrrr
Good afternoon,all.House is clean,no special plans today.DH loves football wk-ends,he is such a fan.
We might see frost ........
Yesterday was a late lunch in an Amish restaurant.Wasn't planned,but I am doing better in choosing food that will work for me in fat,calories etc, when there is no chance to see the menu ahead.The waitress was helpful,bring a sample of their turkey chili.It was beyond ��spicy,so had veggie soup ....yummy ��.Salad bar was sliced cucumbers,broccoli,cottage cheese,hard boiled egg & no dressing.
Brought home an apple fritter.......ate 1/2 last eve ,will have the rest today.They are high cal for sure & worth every bite!!
DH has Dr appt Mon with family Dr. I need to get mammo appt.Hope0 -
Hello :-) I was wondering if I might join? I'm 50-something, in the UK, and need to lose about 60 lbs, which is going very slowly

Cynthia: I touched the horse’s tail and ears with the right hand and then the left hand by stretching my arms straight out to the side and twisting each way at the waist. I think I’d have ended up with my head planted in the dirt of the arena if I’d tried touching my own toes with the opposite hand. Maybe I didn’t understand your question correctly. I also rode for a while with my arms stretched out to the sides like a little kid pretending to be an airplane. :bigsmile:
MrsMizart and other newbies: Welcome! This is a multinational bunch of the nicest women in the world. We have members from the UK, Canada, the US, Australia & Tasmania. The weight comes off slowly if you do things right. :flowerforyou:
Sylvia: Good joke! :flowerforyou:
Going off to play with DH. We plan to go to the Pumpkin Patch on Sauvies Island and just meander. We usually have a great time. Once we got there when the French Bulldog Club was there with their dogs in Halloween costumes. My favorite was the “French Maid.” :bigsmile: :laugh:

Hi all. Well I survived I guess and woke up just a bit sore and my right knee hurts. DD#2 and I went and got our hair cut then went shopping for DD#1’s baby shower. That was pretty fun although it was a bit overwhelming! Not ever having babies I was befuddled! I kept asking all these other ladies what to buy, what they liked or their babies liked, and that kind of stuff. I must admit the baby’s clothes are cute. I’m trying to have a better attitude about this. However I have noticed that she only contacts us because she wants something, and true to form, she texted DH this afternoon wanting him to come help her find her car title.
Michele: you are still having hot flashes? I thought you were over them by now. Thank goodness mine aren’t too bad.
Joyce: glad you are back home. A cat in the lap is always good
Katla: the bareback riding sounds grand. I am not a horse-y person, but I have several friends who own horses so I know how exciting that can be!
Heather: aubergine is eggplant to us yanks, right? We have eggplant rigatoni on the menu this week. I love it Oh, yes now that I see the photo, it does look great!
Robin: sounds like Bodi is doing pretty well and I am glad, although I wish he didn’t fall down…I wish I didn’t either LOL
Sylvia: I was just thinking of Critter Sue and PetalsandPaws just yesterday. Jill Fenner hasn’t been here in months either but when I get on Hotmail I see that she is on messenger. I’d send her a message but I feel like a stalker!
Wendy from KC: Go Royals. OK I used to be a fan until they traded Bret Saberhagen away ….ok that really dates me. Welcome!
Other newbies: Welcome to you all too. Keep coming back and let us get to know you.
OK I’m out. We are having dinner with friends and going to their house to play cards. This week and next are full of eating out so I can only hope to maintain then it totally settles down. Take care, stiff meg from Omaha

Sunday here and scales said 216.26 lbs down from 218.02 lbs Saturday morning.
I caught up with old neighbour yesterday after walking/dragging beagle. We had a good long chat. I enjoyed the boxing and will do again on Monday.
Stan is cooking our Sunday Brunch and I will cook roast lamb dinner after drive and walk, 1746 cals, so OK. Just going for a drive and walking the dog today
I ditched the Livinglite diet and went back to Jeannette Jenkins for the higher protein and fibre and feel MUCH better.
Need to organise training for next week and update spreadsheets for doctor to see on Thursday, Duramine NO help at all. Will start printing meal/exercise sheets on Wednesday for dietition week after next. See what she says
Welcome Newbies
Lesley in Tasmania0 -
I've turned the corner on the flu; I can eat regular meals but I just get tired easy. I hope to be my old self in a day or two. After my walk-among-the-mangroves this morning, I napped and watched some TV. But then I had the urge to exercise again so I took another walk this afternoon. I havent done that in years.
Celeste - I am wondering if someone with a knee replacement can work out on the elliptical machine? Also, what are the restrictions after replacement? I'll need one soon.
Lesley - So sorry the Duramine isn't working. Let's hope the dietition can help.
Pat - your great grandson sounds too cute with his walking!
MegBlair - I'm so glad you are feeling better after that fall.
Hi Esther - I found that my walking became consistent after I found a place that had scenery that I really love.
Joyce - Ahhhh! Nothing like your own bed again. I'm glad you had a good trip.
Dreamwriter - Welcome; 8 grandkids!!! Thats 8 greally great reasons to get your health back on track. Keep at it - it all comes together eventually.
Katla - nice victory taking your horseback lesson.
Hope everyone has a terrific Sunday!
Mary in south Florida0 -
My new computer is up and running and I've been spending a lot of time getting things organized. It will eventually be awesome but right now it's just a lot of work and an interesting challenge.[/url This has been a great day with breaks from the computer to work in the yard, walk the dogs, ride the exercise bike and watch TV

The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.
My word for 2014 is “mindful”

I'm new and enjoyed this thread very much. I turned 50 in June and decided to make this year fit450. I gained 60 pounds in 2010 when I lost my mother and the what I thought "love of my life dumped me. I quit smoking in 2011 and I've been stuck since with this extra weight. My metabolism just isn't what it used to be. My son is getting married in December so I am motivated. I started counting calories. This is my day one.
Thank you everyone for sharing,
Toby0 -
Ooops
Forgot Toby 50 trying to lose 60 pounds in Naples Florida0 -
Forgot to mention. DD in Fl says Corky Bells on Rt 1 is no more.There is a barbecue place there now,but she didn't know much about it. Her hub loves ribs & barbecue,but she isn't a fan.

Did levels 2 and 3 without the cooldown between the levels for a 50 minute workout of Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred DVD. Tomorrow I'm planning to do some cardio in the PowerFit series
barbie - thanks ever so much. You're right, it WAS awkward, but still doable. Thanks again
Esther - welcome!
Joyce - welcome back!
dreamwrite - welcome! What great inspirations you have there!
katla - so glad your bareback riding went so well. I can hear the happiness in your post. Wonderful! Sorry you were hurt two years ago, but glad that brought you to us.
cindylouhuu - we're glad to have ya
Jackie - I know that barbie has posted before and after pics. You'd be amazed. I know others have, too, just can't think of their names off the top of my brain.
Sylvia - when Vince goes food shopping, he never fails to come home with lots of "unwanted" items, things that I wouldn't have bought. When the kids were little, they loved to go shopping with him "daddy, we need this" "oh, mom gets it" (she only gets it maybe once/year when it's on sale and I have a coupon). But they got all sorts of junk. When I take him into the store, I try to get in and out as fast as possible, he just can't browse and not buy, especially when he's hungry.
Wendy - welcome! Congrats on the wonderful loss
karen - welcome! My daughter lives in Reston
Lyza - welcome! So sorry about your diabetes, good that you are tackling it. Good for you insisting on that sonogram! I think sometimes doctors think they know it all, and I really think we know more about our own bodies than any doctor. Not all doctors feel they know it all. I remember once I just knew something was not right with Bryan, every test came back positive but the doctor even said "when the mother says something's not right, I look deeper" sure enough, I don't remember what it was, but something wasn't right. I knew that something wasn't right and I pestered the MD to give me a bone density scan. I swear she ordered it just to shut me up. Was she ever surprised when it came back that I had osteoporosis! I just KNEW something wasn't right.
Pat - that's great that you're getting more and more able to pick healthy foods when you go out to eat. Good luck on your boob squeeze
MrsMizart - of course you can join in! Just jump right in
Meg - I'm thinking that I had a hot flash. I was pretty hot. Well...it wasn't that bad in all
jane - please take care of yourself. Sounds like some chicken soup is called for
Toby - welcome! So sorry about all your hardships.
Paat - thanks for telling me about Corky Bells. I'd asked this one lady, but I think she forgot.
Michele in NC0 -
Good evening, all. Usual Saturday after 3hrs. bad sleep on the couch. Tai chi, then yoga, then buffet at the "biker bar"---crowded today because they were doing a charity "poker run" to benefit one of their own women with cancer. Came home and crashed for 4hrs. so will be back in the bad sleep cycle again.
I'm getting major hints that a mutual friend of one of the tai chi/yoga women and myself is seriously ill. Hoping the news is not going to be as bad as I'm thinking it will be. This is the woman DD just took the job with.
I've been doing "cold calling" trying to secure publicity for the upcoming race to benefit the therapeutic riding program to newspaper, tv, and radio media outlets. This is not easy by any means.......trying to make contact with the people who actually have the power to get you on their programs, they have layers of people you have to go through.....lots of fast talking, emails, begging,etc. Finally, tv success!!! Got booked on a local tv talk program for pre-race publicity, then the race director herself tells me she won't go on it as she doesn't like the sound of her own voice over the tv???????????? I have the charity head, but w/o the race director---it's ABOUT the freakin race!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrr...........the race director wants to send a woman who has been to ONE race planning meeting (a runner friend of hers) and has no connection to the charity. I am so frustrated........I was supposed to just be in charge of registration to begin with (can pretty much do that in my sleep), pitched in to do the publicity work exta.
Barbie.........Love you in the pumpkin costume! How sweet!
patceoh......Video sounds adorable!
Meg.......Glad to hear you are OK after the fall.
Beth.........Fantastic that both sons are doing well!
Michele...........Yeah, I had the same reaction to the watermelon salad the first time I encountered it too....... and liked it a lot. Now I just use mint flakes and balsamic vinegar usually.
Katla..........YAY for your great bareback ride, happy you enjoyed it so much......DD wanted a full report on how you did.
Heather.......Glad the soup was a success! That table looks fabulous and sounds delicious!
Mary.....Wonderful that you are feeling better! YAY for the end of flu for you!
Newbies, welcome......stick around, y'all....tell us about yourselves and get to know us too.
G'nite

Alison – good for you to start looking for new options!
Meg – hope all is well tomorrow… I hate it when I fall
Beth – glad the boys are doing better!!!
Michelle – I have had that watermelon salad too, so yummy!
Esther, dreamwriter, cindylouhuu, jackiemm6, wendy from Kansas City, Karen, Lyza, MrsMizart Toby, – welcome
Joyce – welcome home; sorry to hear you got sunburned.
Katla – I am not a horse person, but think it is so fun to hear your adventures; and I had not known that horseback riding was your catalyst to weight loss….
Robin – glad you and DH are working together on clutter.
A busy couple of days, Friday was my nephew's football game I love it but it is a huge chunk of time 1 hour drive each way and the high school football takes 3.5 to 4 hours so Friday I left home at 4pm and got home at midnight
Saturday was a surprise party for a friend in Sacramento which is a couple of hours drive each way; so out of the house at 9:30am - and home about 4pm; I am glad to be out of the car!!!
Tomorrow is 4 hours at the embroidery shop; and then to the quilt shop - I ended up with 12 hand embroidered pillow cases that a (Judy) friend's mom and grandmother embroidered and crocheted lace for. Well Judy was cleaning house and decided to let go of the pillow cases, she only has a son, and he only has a son, so she figured no one would want them... well they are beautiful so I am going to the quilt store to figure out how to turn them into a quilt and give them back to her. I really don't need another project but...
Well need to do a bit more paper work.
October Goals:

Well hello guys!!! Am a little more awake today than last night, or should I say early this morning. I slept for around 1 AM to 6:30 PM, don't know how much I will sleep tomorrow but I do know I hav't even unpacked yet. I have yet to find my charging cords for my Ipad and phone. I used them constantly in the car because my wifi hot spot on phone really zapped the battery when several people were using it as a hot spot especially when 13 year old watcing watched videos on my iPad. So I just had both of them connected to the chargr all the time. So I am sure they are both in the car somewhere. I do know that the car was constantly eating things like a dryer eats socks. Tomorrow I will have the energy to tell you all about my trip.
Kat, I am not a horse person but enjoyed reading about your ride and knowing that the ability to get back on your horse was what your inspiration was to loose weight. Without that horse we would not know you and what a loss that would have been
Joyce, Indiana0 -
Had a wonderful drive out today, plus a 40 minute dog walk at Ulverstone.
Lamb in oven roasting.
Feeling MUCH better.
Stan going fishing tomorrow.
I had hoped the Duramine would help, but did not. Shall talk to doctor on Thursday about whether to do another month = $115.

Had a pretty good day. Work, movie and time with 2 of the grands. I even got in a short walk. Having trouble keeping my food down to 1200 calories. Trouble=haven't done it yet.0

Hello everyone... I am Chris, I turned 50 in May and oh boy, mid-life, well, PAST mid-life crisis crept up on me! I am STILL 250 lbs + and am struggling with depression. Happily married for 14 years to my soulmate, he is wonderful. Have 2 kids, 21 year old son from first marriage and 12 1/2 year old daughter with dh. Everyone in my family is thin but me and they eat what they want when they want. I love food and am having a hard time figuring out what to eat. I am type 2 diabetic as well, on medication and mostly controlled (4 years). My very bff moved to FL back in March and we were embarking on the fitness/nutrition change together but now she's gone, I have no one to turn to for motivation and support. Any advice is most welcome! Did I mention I love food? lol
Thanks

Good morning everyone!
Katla: no, I was serious about touching the toes with the opposite hand.
Or maybe you start with the shin; it's been a long time since I did that.
Mary: my GP once told me that a regular cold (not the flu) takes six weeks to completely leave your body. So take your time recovering from the flu! I’m another one looking to get my knee replacement sometime soon. Have to lose a few more pounds and then I’m going back to the orthopedic surgeon. I think you can use the elliptical. I just don’t think you’re supposed to run.
Barbie and Margaret: you’re hilarious, with all those things running around on your posts. I get the impression you should cut back on the caffeine. Just kidding; keep them in there!
We're removing the last stuff from the last of the four rooms being repainted. Well, almost the last stuff. There are some things that need to be carted off to either the second-hand shop or the dump. The guys will help with that tomorrow. I'm trying to stay calm, and doing a decent job of it, but there is homeless stuff EVERYWHERE and that stresses me out. I'm not a total neat freak, but I don't like everything being up in the air like this. Well, the final result will be nice.
Our favorite outdoor café, at a farm near here, is closing after the first weekend in November. They do that every year (and reopen in the spring), but the guy that runs it, whom I've known for 20 years, has decided not to do the café anymore and wants a "regular" job and steady income for his family. I hope they find someone good between now and springtime, but I'm sad it won't be the same person. After all that time you know the names of each other's kids and pets, what's happened in each other's lives etc. When my husband (who passed away 11 years ago) was ill, I could even bring him there, have coffee, then leave to to shopping or whatever, and the guy from the café would just keep an eye on him, see whether he wanted something else to drink, etc. until I came back.
Tomorrow we're taking my dog to the orthopedic guy for x-rays, to see if there's any clear reason he's limping. Luckily the eye (from the retrobulbar abscess) is just about completely healed, so that's one less thing to worry about.
Hope everyone has a good day!

Good morning! :flowerforyou: Looks like we might have a dry and sunny afternoon so we can get the broad beans in and garlic. DH can plant his spring bulbs. :bigsmile:
Meg - I'm glad you are only stiff from your fall. Have you figured our why you fell over? :ohwell:
Joyce - welcome home! Looking forward to hearing about your trip.
Katla - good going on the bareback riding! :flowerforyou: I have never done it. I do remember that when I had my very first lesson I was doing spinning around on top of the horse and lying down. I had practised so much on the sofa and read so many books that they were surprised how much I could do. They got me cantering straight away. I think it is do great you are doing new things! :drinker:
Yanniejannie- sorry to hear about DD's employer. I have just heard that an old uni friend has had a mastectomy. Must drop her a card.
Barbie - I adore the costume! ! ! ! ! :flowerforyou: it reminds me why I started this diet - I couldn't besr to wear fancy dress to my brother's 60th. :sad: Now I would love to get dressed up. Bring it on! :laugh:
Mary - glad your flu is retreating. :flowerforyou: Walking along by the mango groves sounds wonderful. I have never visited Florida, but I'm sure I would love the wildlife.
Chris - Welcome! :flowerforyou: I love food too. That doesn't mean you can't make a success of this. :noway: I also am married to a slim husband. Planning is the key. You can make delicious slimming meals and just load up the carbs on the skinny guys' plates. I also feed him cake most days. Make sure every bite you eat is delicious, then you are more satisfied with less. :bigsmile:
Tonight we have Tandoori chicken thighs, yoghourt and cucumber raita, eggplant and green pepper dry curry and I will do rice for DH. I am going to cut and bake the eggplant first with a one cal spray so I don't need lots of oil to stir fry it. I am going to use a small amount of chickpea flour at the last minute, which makes it very nutty tasting.
Love to all. Heather in sunny Hampshire UK.

Good morning ladies.
Today I probably won't get much done. DH and I love to watch football. He is a Seahawks fan, I am a Broncos fan. (Yes last years super bowl was interesting in our house) :laugh: I will probably do a nice slow walk on the dreadmill while watching the game.
We will take the boys for a walk again today. Bodi really loved getting out in the real world again.
I am feeling better today. Much more on the upside.
Take care all,
Robin, Bodi and Ritter

Heather: I found the spicy tomato soup recipe and have safely tucked it into my recipe file. Thanks; this sounds very good. :flowerforyou:
Jackie: I have pictures of me on my home page here at mfp. One of them is a before picture. :flowerforyou:
Meg: I hope you feel better quickly. Your dinners out sound like fun, and I’ll send you ”good choice” vibes for successful maintenance. Remember the magic of portion control. Regarding baby gifts, my daughter set up a baby registry and I was able to get her things she wanted and needed. I even got a break from Amazon on sales taxes because I live in a state with none, and was able to have my gift shipped to a sales tax state without paying their tax. I’m trying to talk her into setting up a “registry” for Christmas gifts. :flowerforyou:
Leslie in Tasmania: Congratulations on the loss! I’m happy you’re doing better on the Jeannette Jenkins meal plans. I’ve never done anybody’s regime because of my list of food sensitivities. I just count calories and that works for me. My meals contain a lot of meat as well as veggies, and they tend to be on the fatty side, but my blood work was okay last time. I’m careful about what kinds of fat I use in cooking. I’ve switched mostly to olive oil but still use corn oil in salad dressings because it refrigerates better. :flowerforyou:
Margaret: You’re sure having fun with the smilies and gifs. I enjoy seeing them. :flowerforyou:
Toby from Naples FL: Welcome to a great group. :flowerforyou:
Michele: My injury two years ago turned out to be a blessing in disguise because it gave me the motivation to change. Finding this group was the best possible luck, because of all the support here.
:flowerforyou:
Yanniejannie: Tell your DD that I had a great time and will probably ask to do it again from time to time. The advice you shared really helped me focus on what I might be able to learn instead of worrying about falling off. :flowerforyou:
Chris: Welcome. Success comes from consistently counting calories and moving more. Find activities that are fun and full of movement, and log every bite and swallow. :flowerforyou:
Cynthia: Maybe in the future my balance will be good enough for me to touch my own toes. :laugh: I’m sure this will not be the only time I ride bareback. I have a LOT of work to do learning balance. :flowerforyou:
We went to Sauvies Island yesterday but the traffic to the Pumpkin Patch was insane, so we went to a different farm on the other side of the island. Kruger’s, where we went, had people out getting their pumpkin from the field on one side of the road, and quite a fun festival on the other side of the road. We were lucky enough to get a prime parking spot. There was food, including wine and beer, and pony rides for the kids in addition to the produce they sell. We had corn on the cob and beer, enjoyed watching the people and their dogs, none of which were in costume, then bought a butternut squash to bring home.
