Happy Belated Birthday, Annie! 65 isn't as old as I used to think it was! lol
I'll have my next birthday on the 11th. I'm getting there too! We are all still young at heart though, aren't we?
Belated Happy Birthday to Nana_Anne too! I'm right behind you!0 -

SW 159
CW 152-153-152-153
GW 129
I started 5 weeks ago. I lost 7 pounds in that period but I'm slowing down or at a standstill-not sure. I exercise (elliptical) about 200 calories a day. My TDEE is around 1800. According to everything I've read, I should be at about 1440 cal per day. I'm too scared to eat that much! I did up my calories to 1200 and that's when my slowdown started. I know my clothes are much looser but at the small amount of exercise I do, I'm not sure that muscle is replacing fat at this point.
Sometimes the information is overwhelming.
Oh, and my profile pic is of me 5 years ago when we were on vacation in Austria. I weighed about 125. I love those white crop pants and they are patiently waiting to be worn again.

good morning Beth. I have hung onto some former 'skinny' jeans I'm hopeing to get into also I don't know if this will help, but i have found that when I reach a stand still, I add a few more cals in the form of protein and it gets the scale moving again. Hang in there. You WILL get back into those great looking capris soon. Sandy:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: 0

Happy Birthday! and Nanna - my weightloss has been a lot slower than others but I did re-gain what I lost over Easter and am now back but very few pounds for the time but I have been ticking off the inches with all of this exercise.

Though my loss is slow, I am sticking to it...in no small part due to the great support.

Hi Nanna and all seniors,
My numbers are:
SW = 245.5
CW = 239.5
GW = 160
Height = 5' 6 1/2"
I joined a little earlier, but have been tracking my food and exercise for 3 weeks now. So far this system/site is working great for me. I like that it's so easy to find calorie count of foods and recipes, and I really like all the support that is available. I am a 63 yr. old grandma living in Northern KY and am open to meeting new friends! Have a great healthy day.

Time to update:Here's mine (btw I never tell my weight so this took a lot of nerve)
SW about 250 (I guessed- didn't weigh when I started, just didn't want to see the number until it was down)
CW: 232
GW: 170
Height 5'7"
I know 170 is still overweight but I want an obtainable goal and I would be very happy and healthy there, can always change it later.

Di--you are doing so well, almost to goal, congrats!0 -
