I drink black coffee and log it as well. :)

My dear Taylor, you sound just like one of our daughters. Life can be very stressful. She and her husband have 2 children ages 4 and 5, plus they each have a full time job.Many times she gets stressed, which causes her to want to eat for comfort. She has battled being over weight for quite sometime. I tell her to take a…

It is good that you are trying to be healthy. I am quite a bit older than you( 62), but I will help in any way that I can. I do struggle with snacking from time to time, but I can help you in any way that I can. My favorite thing to do is going for my daily walks. I wish you well on your journey to a healthier lifestyle.…

At times when I am feeling down about something, I pray and ask God to help me through. We all have our days, but you will be O.K. I will pray for you as well. Continue to exercise and do the best that you can , until you get back on track. :)

First of all, I wish you a Happy Birthday.I admire you wanting to get fit. It is never to late. I am 62 and finished my first 5 k in my age group for the first time in my life. Start out with baby steps,and always let your body tell you when you have had enough. I wish you well on your journey to get fit. 😊

Thank you very much. I don’t drink much water, but I love my black coffee. 😊

It sounds like you did great last year. I hope that you have fully recovered from your accident. If you are allowed to exercise, and have no restrictions, due to your accident, walking is a great thing to help clear the mind as well as helping with weight loss. Also, try to come up with a healthy diet , of the foods that…

Yes, I know exactally what you mean. I can do good all day. When evening comes, look out. I just want to snack .I recently purchased some healthier snacks, so I am trying to make better choices. There is nothing wrong with snacking after dinner, but I am trying to pick the healthier ones. Don’t give up, just try to do…

You are welcome, I am glad it helps. 😊

I use: ( Calorie lab.com ) you an check this site to see if it will help you. 😊

No, we have those days from time to time. Just try to do better tomorrow. When I want chips or other goodies, I use portion control and try to save a few extra calories for a yummy snack, if I crave one. 😊

You can do this. Like I tell everyone, baby steps . One day at a time. I’m sure you will get back on track. 😊

Wonderful! 👍

I keep thinking of the 23 four leaf clovers 🍀 that I found two days ago. I found them all in one small patch of clover. :)

Thanks everyone, I am getting there. Last night was a bag of 100 calorie popcorn and 1/2 of a bottle of Coke Life. :)

Today, I purchased apples, grapes and clementines. Oh, did I want to buy chips and candy, but I told myself no ! I am trying to get the right mind set. 😊

Thanks everyone for listening. Sometimes we just need a little bit of encouragement. The next time I go grocery shopping, I am going to focus on healthy snacks, not junk food. If the junk food is in my house , I can’ t control myself.

I have a Fitbit charge 2 and it works just great. This one sounds like it would be perfect for you. I purchased mine at Walmart. You can check it out there to see if it is what you are looking for. I had a Fitbit Charge HR for 3 years and upgraded to the Fitbit Charge 2. I am 62 years old , so when I explain what my new…

I went to my doctor due to having pain in my hip and thigh. I found that the pain was due to sciatica nerve pain. I was referred to a physical therapist. The exercises helped me very much. You might want to consider going to your doctor.Perhaps it could be sciatica nerve pain.

I was in a Sears store. They had televisions on display. The special news bulletin came up suddenly on the screens. It stopped me in my tracks. I started praying for our country and was praying for my family.

Good for you. You can do this. Take a day at a time ,one step at a time. 😊

A new Fitbit. My other one died. 😊 I love my Fitbit.

I am 62 years old and did my first 5K. I was so excited. I just wanted to finish. I came in 3rd place in my age group. 😃

Thank you everyone. 😊 I really appreciate your encouraging words.

My friend now feel that it was probably hormonal.

Thanks everyone, I will pass on the info. I haven’t received anymore info about her situation recently.

She stated that she thinks it was fluid retention. She did not mention what types of food she was consuming.

I am in pretty good health, except high blood pressure, so I do have to watch my salt. I think you are right about it being in my brain, because I feel bad when I eat candy or chips late at night. I feel that I should be eating something healthier. :)

Thanks everyone for the great ideas. I most usually stay under my calorie goal,but I like chips and sweets and just felt that it would be better if I ate healthier snacks. I have found that I feel much better physically when I eat healthy snacks. :)
