NEW GROUP: The Ladies Who Lunch

AliceNov2011

Welcome!

We are a group of adult women (mostly over 40), who love to cook, eat, and entertain, while getting (or staying) healthy.

We share menu ideas, exercise options, eating out tips, and a host of clues to navigating our ever-changing bodies (yikes!) and health surprises.

We hope you'll join us and participate regularly. Be sure to ask us questions! SOMEBODY will have an answer for you.

Here's to the ladies who lunch!

Hi! This looks like a good place to introduce myself. I will be 59 in a couple of months, have two grown children, and 20 pets (see profile).

My highest weight was 207 pounds on January 1, 2009. Before that point, I had to decided to just eat as came naturally to me and allow my body to settle into the weight "it wanted to be". At 207 pounds, I decided NO WAY did I want to be that big. I'd been destroying pictures of myself for years and could see it would never get better.

I've been struggling to get my weight down since then. I had limited success working out like a maniac through 2009, but it wasn't something I could sustain beyond a year.

Finally I realized that it is my eating habits that have to change permanently. Right now I'm focusing on absolutely no eating between meals and keeping within my calorie budget.
