I am doing it to reclaim my lost health. I'm only 49. I have lots of play left in me if I can get into shape!

Awesome way to start out! I am new, too. Love this community / site. It really makes it easy. Best of luck on your weight loss journey.

I look for one healthy new recipe to try each week. I also am trying to do one new physical activity a week (or on really bad weather days break out the Just Dance 4 game on Play Station). Great thread!

I think everyone has their own technique for dealing with temptations. I have an addictive personality. I smoked for 20 years, and ate food like an addiction, etc.... I think alcoholics do not allow themselves just a little drink everyday for a reason....the little bit leads to a whole lot. I could be wrong about this for…

unjelly, I think self control is one of those things that you have to talk yourself into, and mean it. I remember 20 years ago when I quit smoking, and the silliest thought that actually helped me quit cold turkey, was ' if I don't allow myself to put the cigarette in my hand and light it, then I won't smoke it." Simple,…

Ah, a plateau...I so wish I was on a plateau right now (LOL). I am just starting my weight loss. But I do remember the last plateau I was on left me stranded for weeks and weeks. Have you tried really really restricting for a couple of days and then having a really good blow out day just to mix things up a little. I worked…

Wow! Seriously impressed!

Julie, I am new, too. You and are close in age (I'm 49). How much do you want to lose overall. I am trying to lose the twenty plus five pounds I lost two years ago LOL. I have been on the site for a week and have lost a pound, so I figure I am off to a good start.

I am curious about sugars.....I thought that sugar spikes caused fat to build up around your abdomen. I have NAFLD (non alcoholic fatty liver disease) and I have been told to erase as much sugar as possible from my diet to help melt away that fat surrounding my liver. It was suggested I only eat one piece of fruit a day. I…

This is my exact meal of choice!

I have not heard of Strava or Muse....looks like there is some googling in my future!

This cracked me right up!

From what I've read, bread reacts in your body very much like sugar. I try to avoid bread. It is really hard to figure out things to eat without eating them with bread, until you are in a new habit. I think Subway should be a treat every once in a while. We should all be able to indulge sometimes, right?

I had a sweet tooth. But honestly, I struggled and kicked sugar out of my diet in a big way, felt the withdrawals and the cravings for about three days. Would only allow myself to eat nuts or 90% dark chocolate instead of sugar. And, guess what? No more cravings. A tough three days, but I think cold turkey really worked…

Please add me as your friend. I am 49 years old. And while my weight issues are not as extreme as yours, I recognize my struggles with food in yours. I read your post because I saw Nausicaa under your picture, and I love all things Hayao Miyazaki (whom I first heard about in my early 40s). So we have a few things in…
