    I'm a 68 year old with 50 pounds to lose. My main exercise is yoga which I love, but I'd like to find other physical things to enjoy. It would be great to share thoughts and ideas with others like myself. We can support each other during the ups and downs of losing weight making it easier and maybe even fun.

    Hello new MFP'ers. I've been here for a bit, welcome to the journey. A little advice: (add me if you like it):
    1. Listen to your appetite.
    “If you want to eat spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, have it!” “Don’t find the low-carb version with the fat-free sauce. If you actually eat what you want, you’ll likely end up eating a more reasonable amount of it.” Eating in tune with your hunger is a principle of intuitive eating, and it’s shown to have a positive effect on both your weight and your well being.

    2. Enjoy treats from time to time.
    Research shows (and experts agree) that sprinkling reasonably sized desserts or treats into your daily diet encourages you to find pleasure in meal time again—and that pleasure will help ensure you don’t feel the need to go overboard.

    So instead of confining your treats to one single day, drop them into places throughout the week. For example, enjoy: “a cookie or a few pieces of chocolate after dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays,

    3. Savor every bite.
    Once you place any item of food into your mouth, take a moment to: “taste, smell, and experience it as a whole,” “When you take the time to be mindful about what you’re eating, you tap into your satiety cues.”

    The Takeaway

    Forget about designating a cheat day to reward yourself. Denying yourself most of the week and then indulging like crazy on your one day “off,” just promotes guilt, anxiety, and shame around eating—which means you won’t likely get to the health outcome you’re looking for. Instead, make every day a great day by listening to your appetite, periodically adding in some of your favorite foods in small portions, and savoring each and every bite of everything you eat. This sustainable approach will help you think of all of your eating as enjoyable, and that’s what gets you down the road to where you want to be.

    Let your journey begin..
