The dead will walk the earth

Right now, I'm trying to stick to 1200 for calories. I change my diet drastically from pasta, bread normal food to what you're describing. I eat two shakes a day of spinach with fresh fruit (mixed-mango, peaches, strawberries, blueberries..) then sml handful of walnuts, ice, almond milk with a protein such as organic…

I just started making my own smoothies and getting healthier. Working out at least one hour and eating much better than I ever have.. at 50 too.

I get red only if I exercise hard in the Summer months. Especially if I've walked 8 miles or so. I've had people stop me concerned. I'm a natural redhead with dark eyes so I tan, I really don't get what makes it happen as my skin is pretty thick for a red head. I guess it's as my husband says "better red than dead".. what…

Hey just a note about the walking, I walked not kidding 2 hours a day.. never lost substantial weight .. it doesn't knock off enough calories.. Got an elliptical lost more weight in 1 month than I would have all Summer.. I did lose weight once fast walking but that was when I did 3-4 hours a day.. just a fyi that it isn't…

Just take it one day at a time.. you have friends here!

I'm trying to loose enough weight to be a size 6 and look good at that size at my age. If I'd wear a bathing suit now for sure a size 8. I'm trying for a size 6. But I'm petite with a small frame. My perfect size is a 4 but not reasonable at my age so I have to do a 6 now.

I confess I'm too thrifty which embarrasses my husband. I cut/highlight/color my own hair, buy discounted clothes and $20 for anything is too much for me. In Paris my husband said buy any outfit you want, several times, and I said no.

My child is diabetic and the doctor told us always to avoid processed foods of all types meaning pre-made dinners, cream of wheat, pre-made potatoes, pancake batter,ice cream, pasta is a big one, .. so eat whole foods. Okay foods are chicken, fish, some red meat, yogurt, beans, cheese, whole wheat bread(s) ,brown rice,…

I had that happen once years ago. I was exercising twice a day a total of about 3 hours. I would even wake up very hungry in the middle of the night so I'd eat a small amount and drink some milk and I was okay. My body adjusted to the weight loss. It was the one time I was in excellent shape (as an adult).

Staying busy physically at work keeps my mind off food. If I work from home or at home it's a lot easier to think about being hungry and being on a diet. If I go to work I take grapes or ice water and I too busy to think about when I get to eat next.

Box of love notes

Concentrate on one day at a time. Don't think about pounds just eat healthy in smaller amounts and exercise. Take it one day at a time and you'll be there before you know it.. I drink a lot of ice water and snack on plain pop corn freshly popped at home when I get the munchies before it's time to "eat". You can do it and…

To a guy- I want to get married. To a girl - I don't believe in marriage but I want to live with someone.

My goal was to keep my weight low to fit into my clothes and I was able to do it this year. It got cold out and I tried on my winter pants and this time they fit. I did it by experimenting what would work for me and I first did an elliptical trainer last Spring. Then Summer came and my husband had an accident so pretty…

As a female I get a lot of annoying comments about diet/exercise. I get a lot of comments about other people's injuries when they were young and how I'll also hurt myself. (Usually you find out the person over did it and that is how the injury happened.) The other advise I get comes as I start to take off pounds then I get…

I've had unplanned cheat days such as when my husband fractured his neck. But in a matter of days I'd put back on 2 pounds. I always overestimate how much I eat so I'm way under where I need to be. I cut my calories a bit more to get my body losing weight again and I try to do half an hour of exercise in the am then in the…

I'm in.. my weight is up and down. I stopped weighing myself when I was around 147 or so.. my goal is around 130-135 depending on how I look. I'm older so I'm staying flexible with the amount.

Coffee

I finally got myself after a year to get up at 5:30-6:00. I don't have to start work until around 9 or even a bit later. I work out of the house so right now just the idea of looking any better has gotten me up. Even losing one pound. Sounds dumb but we went overseas and the photos of me looked so much better than I've…

My fat initially went to my stomach so it was all the : When are you due questions. Now with my little old lady bumpy body which affected me all over, the idea of going out in public in a bathing suit made me think "Oh God I'm going out in public in a bathing suit" ... I wish it were the roaring twenties because even old…

I have the same exact problem on the weekend.. my husband likes to eat out a big meal at night with beer and dessert so what I do is snacky food during the day then a huge 800+ meal at night.. I make my goal. I never feel well in the morning, queasy stomach since I was a kid so usually I have coffee then a lunch of fruit.…

If you did lose that much weight you'd be probably sick and unhealthy. You have to eat to be okay then exercise to balance out what you have eaten.

Yes I want to do it though I'm late.. add me.. I want to do it.. my last group totally fell apart.. and I'm ready to do it..
