A little unnoticed success!
Most of the time, I avoid the reports section of our lovely app. Today, though, I opened it up to analyze where my health journey has taken me over the last year. It's been a big year that was both long and hard. I fought off Cancer. Finally, in January, the doctors declared I am Cancer-free! Yay! Now that this major -…

Making it happen -- for the first time in years.
Hi folks! Needed to share it out with someone. I've been logging calories for 5 days. I worked out today for the first time in probably 4 or 5 years. I bought myself some kettlebells, and a wrist device to help keep track of steps, heart rate, sleep, so on. It feels great to actually make it happen. I'm also making myself…

An Apology
I apologize for any of my posts that seem to imply that the way I've found to lose weight, get healthy and not put the weight back on is for everyone. Looking over what I've written, I have to agree that it DOES seem to imply that. I guess after 60 years of yo-yo dieting and gaining more weight afterwards each time to the…

My Brand New Wardrobe
Years ago when I was on a calorie restricted diet, I lost some weight and as an incentive to help me continue to lose, I bought a large number of clothes in a smaller size. (They were on clearance with an additional 20% off.) I didn't go on to lose any more weight and regained what I'd lost plus some more pounds. I've lost…

INTERMITTENT FASTING HAS WORKED MIRACLES
Looking back over my "diet history", I realize I've spent way too much of my life focused on and anguishing over food. I've been on every diet imaginable since the age of 16. I was either torturing myself by depriving myself of food or was breaking the diet due to intense hunger and eating any and everything I wanted. I…

Intro and Thanks :)
I joined MyFitnessPal almost a year ago but kept my account private until recently, so I never did introduce myself. The app has been instrumental in helping me shed 72 lbs (32.7 kgs) over the past eleven months, and I am now writing a book about healing from obesity after fifty! Would love to collaborate with others here.
