Thank you so much for this group I love reading and replying. Everything I read is positive and that is what I need to stay motivated. :smiley:

You are funny, I'm still trying to see my vagina. I had such a flat stomach until I had my partial hysterectomy. Had a bikini line scar well now with the belly fat I'm like you I can't see it. :blush: I stopped the diet pop. I still miss my Diet Mt. Dew. I drank them from the minute I woke up till I went to bed. Drinking…

Wow you had a great day. I'm glad we need these and what better day than Friday

Hi everybody! Well today went and cut my hair and refreshed my hair color. Feel beautiful. I have naturally curly hair blue eyes and freckles. So the copper red I'm sporting looks natural. She layered it more and my curls are back. It was getting really long and the longer it grew the straighter it became. I got a new…

Yes walking by the cake would be hard for me. I haven't had any sugary foods since December 31st. I don't know how to add friends, but I also started with fifty pounds to lose. I'm a good cheerleader :smile:

Thank you quzzdragon, I woke up today and both knees were hurting. Yesterday I didn't do anything but walk normally no exercise type walking. It has turned cold and damp so maybe that's why. My first thought was to take it easy but I did that yesterday. So I put my knee braces on and Guardians of the Galaxy on my I-phone…

Wow that is very informative

I'm glad you enjoyed it and still maintained control

I have a Garmin Viofit, I haven't been able to sync to MFP. I love my Garmin though. I originally ordered a Fitbit, couldn't get it to sync, then read bad reviews so I sent it back and ordered Garmin. I sync to Connect on my phone and have everything there I just thought it might be cool to sync to MFP.

That is for me. Being a man that would not work for you at all. In the beginning which was last time I started a weight loss journey , I had paid for a test. It tested my resting metabolic rate. Using the test they told me that 1200 calories would be what I need to eat to lose weight. I'm not sure how all of it works but I…

I love your pictures.

Well today I had my grief group. This has helped me more than I thought it would. I didn't think I could share with strangers. But we all have been through this and the support is amazing just like this site is the support I need for my weight loss journey. Went the other day to get my drivers license renewed. They wanted…

It is a great loss. I became obsessed with the scale the last time I did this. It was to the point where it defined how I felt for the day. I've decided on once a month this time around. Although I did jump on about three weeks in cause I was curious. This site is great for the motivation and the help from others who have…

The thing about addiction to food it's not like drugs where you stop and never touch them again. With food you have to eat to live. Reading over your statement I can see some things I did, like eating candy and hiding the wrappers. I think you are doing great. It's hard to walk in the winter with snow. Be careful falls to…

I look at your pictures and I'm not seeing what you are describing. I think you look pretty good. I love reading your posts your so upfront about your journey. I think it's great you shared with your wife I hope she supports and works with you. My husband and I did it together on my first journey and it gave us time…

You can do it. You've already ahead seeking out a trainer and you have something to work towards. My daughter and family are hiking to the bottom of the canyon this year so they all are trying to get fit. She's helping me with encouragement to stay with my journey. I will gladly cheer you on we all need cheerleaders!!!…

I love crab too. I hope you enjoyed it. I have bad knees. I had shots in the right one. They told me I had broken my kneecap at one point, but it healed ok. Whenever it's damp I have an ache in both, plus both of them creak real loud when bending them. I don't remember PT hurting like you're going through. I would definite…

Thanks jilliancreates and kettiecat. I love the term release, I'm going to start using that term. My left knee was sore today. I may need to go a little more low impact. It's the same knee I twisted when I was walking so it was irratated anyways. I haven't been able to sync my Garmin Viofit. Anyone out there have…

Wow both meals pictured look so good! Your little one looks like he was going to sneak a bite :)

Wow you did great three hours is a lot. I live your posts. Keep up the good work

I am so excited. I weighed in this morning I've lost 7.3 lbs. This is my first month back and I wasn't exercising much. I know next month won't be as much but it's a validation that I'm doing something right. I haven't been eating as much as I'm supposed to be, we discussed how to fix this. I will write more later.

I like that statement too. Although my first instinct is horror when I see a picture of myself. The only one I liked lately is my profile picture which is a selfie my daughter took of us in December. I'd like to feel joy I need to work on that.

Thank you Mimi2974, you know my grandkids call me Meme. I'm so glad that I went to Zumba. I was at my goal weight before my husband got sick and maintained. I know I can do this. I used to think because of my age I couldn't lose weight I had tried every diet out there. I finally was referred to a nutricianist. With her…

I did make it to Zumba. Put my knee braces on and modified some moves. I feel so good right now. Totally going next week. I put Vaseline on my feet then socks with my shoes. Will continue this till I get my new shoes. I feel those good endorphins. I am trying to fix something to eat. I hate to but I am way short on my…

First day of February. This month will be hard because of Valentine's Day. The only time my husband sent flowers was on Valentine's Day. He never missed in all the years we were married. I didn't realize this till I put my goals for February on the 60+ group. I need to talk about this in group. I keep trying to remember…

Hi everyone. It is a beautiful day here in Kentucky. Took my two dogs out for a walk. I turned my knee wrong and limped the rest of the walk. I haven't had problems in six months but I wasn't active either. I guess this may nix my plans to do Zumba tomorrow. Life keeps throwing curves. Well my first monthly weigh in is…

You are all doing great with the cravings. I live near a whole row of fast food which is right by the grocery store. I love milkshakes and Steak N Shake calls out to me also Wendy's fries. So far this month I've managed to bypass them too. I love this concept of keeping journals and I'm getting encouraged just reading all…

Wow that is a great weight loss !!!

I love reading about your journey so far. You have had a lot going on. You can really look within yourself and analyze things. I'm going with the mindset that exercise is an everyday thing I need to get fit. I need to release fifty pounds that I gained back. The diary of food I'm good with, now I'm adding exercise.

Haven't been here in two days. My food log says I'm not eating enough calories. Gee I'm on 1200 calories and there are days where I'm not that hungry. I did buy a protein shake I wonder if it's ok to use this as a nite snack???? Well today I thought I would get a head start on exercise. I did 60 minutes in the treadmill at…
