    OK THIS is for everyone....May I ask HOW MANY CALORIES you eat daily?????????
    I ask because what few forum friends I have dont' seem too do a regular 'diary' going..
    Do you eat back the calories you've worked off?

    I ask because you see the progress of my walks and this summer we have had mega outside heavy lifting and work too do. STILL I have gained 1.5 pounds since FEBRUARY. I have tried eating back the 'net' that everyone says I must. I GAIN WEIGHT when I do that. The bad thing is that I am Insulin Resistant and it makes it difficult too lose a lot of weight at a time. It took me THREE YEARS just too lose 50 pounds...... Since then which was 2014 I have gained a few pounds here and there and lost a small bit here and there. End result is I have gained 7 pounds in three years....I WANT TOO GET IT OFF AND KEEP IT OFF. I still have about 17-20 pounds too lose....

    I KNOW I probably need too drop my intake too 1200 Calories and some days I do but man that is a difficult one!!!!!!! I do walk at least an hour a day and some days another 30 minutes too an hour. I can not do sit up exercises. I've tried lifting 5 pound weights only too end up with shoulder pain and then I quit. Even today I have Lt. shoulder pain since trying too do those...

    I AM GOING TOO TRY and start cutting calories some...

    ANY SUGGESTIONS???????????

    When I first joined and was faithful I was eating 1200 calories a day. I was also walking minimum 5-7 miles a day. I lost weight regularly. I have not been walking as much and I have not been faithful in logging honestly. . .so the weight has been creeping back on. I will get myself back on track and get rid of the extra pounds.

    WELCOME sarah....we love late comers! That way you will have too join us NEXT MONTH as well! lol...

    I love it when people reach their goals early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Personally I've only been able too do that a very few times.

    Actually yesterday my husband fixed the tires on my OUTSIDE Bike. I rode for three miles very late evening after I had already posted my day's progress. He was outside secretly fixing it while I was doing house chores! lol...I WILL log that in todays miles progress later this evening after my daily exercise...

    EVERYONE IS DOING GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! :) and I'm so HAPPY too have you here with ME.... <3
