WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER

BirdieM

I am very happy with the September results.:happy: I wanted 2 lbs a week and I lost 7 lbs:bigsmile: Given that I've had a few "Episodes" that threw me off, and I havent been able to exercise since 9/20, I'm pleased:happy: Everybody did great if they "tried"!!!!:bigsmile: It's not only the scale that counts, it's our will to keep going! If you're bloging....you're trying:laugh: :laugh: So here's to another month of good efforts!

Well I didn't get my swimming in. I think I need to sign up for 2x as much swimming as I think I want to do and then I'll get in as much as I want.

I can't believe Sept. is over already in one way but in another I'm already thinking like it's Nov. :laugh:

Good afternoon ladies,
Great work for those of you that lost or stayed the same. Keep on going. I just finished lunch. I made myself a big salad with greens, dried cranberry, low fat cheese, lean turkey and low fat croutons. I finished off with some cantaloupe. I also had my apple cider vinegar. YUK!!!
I also started mowing the lawn this morning. I ran over the cover to the water meter and it slipped in and broke a pvc pipe on a faucet. Water was coming up like a fountain. Right about that time a neighbor drove up and he turned the water off for me. I could not find the valve. I will let it drain and then cap off the valve and turn water back on. Never a dull moment. Will cut back yard later and try not to break anything. I watched Biggest Loser this morning. I had DVR'd it last night. So motivating. It was so special that the guys asked to be sent home so the big girl could stay. I dont have their names learned yet. Wouldn't you like just ONE biggest loser week. That would be awesome.
Have a good afternoon ladies.

Hi,
Didn't weight today I am just going to keep plugging away until after my dad's surgery. I do hope I start to lose weight soon it is discouraging to stay the same. I think I will try the vinegar thing later in October after I return home. May not be able to log in next week but will be back when I return after the surgery.
Great job to all who lost and all who meet their exercise goals.

Great work!

Missed my goals....in fact, I went in the opposite direction and gaines two pounds instead of losing two!:grumble:

October: Lose two pounds, again, and aim for a new two pounds lost also.

My goals for September were
:flowerforyou: to ride my bike 25 miles a week,
:flowerforyou: exercise using WATP and use my hand weights to firm up my arms, at least 4 days a week,
:flowerforyou: keep drinking at least 4 16oz bottles of water a day
:flowerforyou: lose at least 4 pounds.
Because of that nasty snake in my shed I didn't make 25 a week,
rode my bike 32 miles
only used weights 2 days a week, arms are slowly firming up
lost 4 lbs
drank at least 4 16oz bottle of water, most days 5
:happy: reached my August goal to get into a 14, with room to spare
:drinker: I will post new goals on the October thread.
Lynn, have a safe trip and return to us soon. As alway prayers and hugs for your family.
Welcome to newbies and welcome back to our missing sisters.
A new month already. We are in this together for the long haul, Rosemary

I stayed motivated! I drank my water! I stayed within my calories! I was sloppy with my workouts! Twenty one workouts for the month, averaging about 500 cals. over all.
I am the same weight I was on September 1.

Hang in there - I've had many months this year when the scales stood still... but when I get frustrated and stop, I get less healthy. It's challenging for me when wt loss isn't linear. Good for you for all you did right this month!

Good evening ladies,
I had another great day. Ate my calories and they were good calories. Got some exercise mowing the lawn. Drank that awful apple cider vinegar. (That stuff better work miracles) LOL. I am back on track and it feels so good. My back is better. Just a few twinges. Still no word from doctor about blood work. Hope he calls soon. Hubby is in Texas again, but this time I am planning ahead and eating right. Tomorrow is my oldest son's 35th birthday. It seems like yesterday that he was born. I hope you all dont get tired of hearing from me, but this really helps me stay focused. I look forward to a great October. See you all tomorrow.

Hi all,

For September I lost 2 pounds and my goal was 4 . I drank all my water each day and tracked my food most of the time. My weight lifting 2 times a week was inconsistant at best.

My exercise program has again been interupted by my other knee giving out. I will get a MRI soon and I suspect I will need to have the same thing done to my left knee that I had successfully done to my right knee last July. That is just fine with me as my right knee feels great. So for now I walk when I can, ride the stationary bike and look into swiming as possible exercise I can do within reason to help my weightloss journey. Do I want it to be different. Yep but I am so grateful that I have a solution to this problem and I have healthcare that will provide for me. I can't imagine this constant discomfort with little or no options.

And I have this group to share with and learn from.

Good morning ladies,
It is a cool 63 degrees here in Louisiana on this first day of October. It feels wonderful. I have a hair appt today so I dressed nicely this morning. I put on a pair of cordoroy pants size 12 from Old Navy. I am going to do good again today Already had a good breakfast. Usually work out after bringing girls to pre school but since I have hair appt. I will go later in the day. Lianne, you did so well with so many obstacles. I dont know if I would have been that diligent if I could not work out. You keep going girl. I hope you get your other knee fixed soon. To everyone else lets start this month with a new determination. Have a great day.

Sorry ladies that I was late on starting the October thread. It's on now.

Because of my back and not being able to do much of anything except living I did not meet my goals for September. I'm back to square one :grumble: It's been two weeks and maybe I'm okay now to do more but I'm afraid I'll re-injure it.

Have a great day ladies.
