Fourteen down and sixty to go. I have been logging for 41 days. I'm a grandmother to two and spend ,y days at a desk. At 64 yo, I am still joking about post partum weighm but can point to other life chnages that helped pack on the pounds -- when I moved and no longer walked to work, when my dog died and I stopped walking 3 miles as a badeline every day, and various life stresses (I am a stress eater big time ).

    Howdy and welcome to this supportive, fun group, Vesper. Commitment and mindset are 80% or more of the battle, and sounds like you've got those down!

    You might find our Wednesday check-ins helpful for keeping track & general good stuff :)

    Thanks for all the welcomes! Trying to view this as a life style change, not just a temporary diet...

    Hi Vesper - your attitude is right. it has to be a lifestyle change not a temporary fix. I think there comes a light bulb moment when you realise that what you have been doing just isn't right!
