Mick, I love grapes! I even freeze them

I've never frozen grapes. In my house, they don't have a life expectancy long enough to warrant freezing. BTW, aren't the little buggers difficult to chew when frozen? lol!

Yep , but I woller them around first makes them last longer. Lol

"For the Sweet craving, there are slow-carb fruits: cherries, plums, grapefruit, apples, grapes, oranges -- some have a bunch of calories for their "filling factor", but they can help to address your sweet-tooth and keep it tamed for a while."

For some reason, most fruits, especially apples, make me hungrier shortly after I eat them. I still eat them, but need to be ready for another snack or meal shortly after. Is this unusual?!

I always try to eat some kind of protein, such as nuts, cheese stick, spoon of PB, with fruit. For me, it works as a longer lasting snack

Well done 88lb

Hi all. New here too. I'll be 54 next month. Have lost 88 lbs. thus far, have about 140 to go. I've been really enjoying reading your posts and look forward to making some new friends. "One day at a time" has been my motto since beginning this journey last August and, by the grace of God, it's worked for me. Hope everyone has a great day. Check back later. A*

I've always taken that as needing better hydration, but I more often go straight for the protein solution (my body already has enough stored sugary/energy/fatty stuff)

Would someone please post a link to the MFP group or send me an invite? I have been unsuccessful in locating "Fifty plus (or so) support group" in the group listings. Thanks!

No group out there Happy... Just this run-on thread (as far as I know).

HappyTrails -- if it helps, go to the upper right hand corner of your screen and click on the small star, if you haven't already done so. It will "bookmark" this topic and give you updates when something new is posted, so you don't have to search for it each time.

#standenvernet and #beachgal0626 - thanks for the information.

In no way am I trying to overstep or butt-in, but I just created a group called "Fifty Plus (or so) Support Group." If anyone is interested in climbing on board, the group is open to the public. Here is the link:
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/104713-fifty-plus-or-so-support-group

It's my understanding that groups allow for easier topical discussions within your particular interest or demographic.

If starting the group is in bad taste or improper etiquette please let me know and I will delete it and start something else. Thanks!

So I invite committed mature men or women to link up with me/us. Ups and downs, highs and lows, cries and prayers are all welcome. My goal is to reach a goal. Lets make reasonable expectations for the next 10 weeks. Hope you feel welcome to join.

Difficult to find groups of people over 65...LOL. Glad I found this one.
