I too believe as ninerbuff, you have to wrap your head around a lifestyle change. Does that mean never having another cookie? God, I hope not! I also had an eating weekend, but told myself I'd be right back at it on Monday. I'm 55 and the weight is very stubborn to come off and it is difficult to not get discouraged. I am…

Janet, good luck with the VA. My husband, also a Vietnam Vet was recently given 100% disability because of a rare cancer. (Fortunately, he's holding his own right now). A lot of medical conditions are now being attributed to agent orange. There's a lot to be said for going in prepared with medical records and a good VA DR.…

Had an outing with 4 of my favorite girl friends yesterday, of course lunch was involved. 4 out of the 5 of us are overweight, boy does that say a lot about our age group ( we're 55-61).

She suggested low carbs, so far so good, but I do find it best not to totally deprive myself of the "bad" carbs. I'm 55 and have finally realized my…

First of all, congrats on your weight loss. Recovering from an injury is trying I'm sure, but sounds like your back on track. I recently got back to MFP after my all time high weight brought me to tears. I went to see the nutrition nurse at my Drs. office and she suggested counting carbs, my chiro has been telling me that…

I can definitely relate. At 55 I'm heavier than I've ever been. UGH! I too thought it must be something physically wrong, nope. I recently went to a nurse at my Dr's office and had a nutritional counseling session. I will be doing a low carb eating plan (my chiro has been telling me that for years). Too many carbs and the…
