Please add me too--I'm 62 and looking for the motivation and support from like minds. Blessings all. Di

@Miriamwithcats--I can relate to the mom post. Years of therapy and learning that I need to take care of myself and when my boys were young, take care of them...mother was not and still isn't the mother I needed. Sometimes I still grieve the loss of the nurturing mother and father, but I had other women in my life that…

Melanie--so sorry to hear about the flooding and your loss. sending hugs and prayers for you.

Good afternoon ladies--I am a 62 yr old grandma and wife and mother of 2 sons. I am fairly new here and have posted in a couple of places. Not hearing from anyone--so I read some of the posts here and would like to join in the conversations and get to know others. I need motivation to exercise. My tracking is going well…

I've been learning that our pancreas needs us to eat a bit of something at least every 4-5 hrs during the day or it (the body) will "dump" sugar from the liver and then have to be "cleaned up" by the pancreas. It is best to plan for healthy balance of a carb and protein snack between meals and bed time. It isn't healthy…

Hi--I'm fairly new here. looking for some motivation to exercise. I'm 62 and the things I did before I just can't do now. I belong to a gym, but only go for Silver Sneakers exercise 2-3 times a week. I know I need to get there and do some cardio or just move, but my motivation is gone. I feel old and worn out. Anyone…

Hi Mary--I am a Christian woman, 62 and also looking for motivational support and ideas and to meet other Christian women in their mid 50's to 60's. It is hard losing weight. I've been on the roller coaster and I am finding that tracking my food, staying in a goal range and weighing and measuring has helped me a lot this…

I'm a "Newbie" to this site. I am weighing and measuring and over the weekend when I didn't and just ate like I did before, I gained 2 lbs. Lesson learned!! I need to weigh, measure and keep on track by keeping a log daily for each meal not trying to guess what I ate and "play catch up" at the end of 2 or 3 days. I'm back…

Hi Rae! Good to hear from you. I was wondering if everyone on this group just abandoned ship? I had a "bad" weekend--went so off my meal plan...it was our 44th anniversary and we went to visit our youngest son and wife and our 3 yr old grandson. Eating healthy isn't on their radar and so I just ate what they had. Then went…

Was praying I would find some Christian community here! I am also working on myself, my relationship with God and losing weight. I am 62, 5'2" and weigh 180. I can't stand being this heavy. I've tried weight watchers and found that I wasn't eating enough protein and my whole balance of food intake was "off". I like being…

HI--my name is MissDi and I am 62 years old. I feel old. My weight is at it's all time highest at 180. I would like to get down to 150 at least. More if possible. It is hard for me to get motivated to exercise. I belong to Silver Sneakers and go 2-3 times a week. But it isn't enough to get me to sweat or lose many…
