protein powder in almond milk and frozen berries..yummm....like ice cream with no guilt!

The less you have to lose the harder. I relate. I eat very healthy. Slow slow results. But I know I am going over my calories a lot. When I eat less and weigh foods etc. I do lose But I lose very slowly. Want to lose 7 pounds.

Me too. Tired a lot. But happy I was down over a pound this morning. Too tired to exercize I can relate. But when I make myself go walk in mornings I feel better that day.

Congrats. You are making good choices to get healthier. One day at a time. Little by little equals success!

I think it is fairly common. I take supplements from health food store I am 63. Not easy but Mfp and this community helps Hang in there. Perseverance will pay off

Slow and steady is better. You want to KEEP the weight off. Quick on...quickly back on often..... 1 pound a week is healthier....but fast forward to a year from now. Picture yourself with the weight still off!!! Year after year... instead of quickly gaining it back plus extra-- that's how it often goes.

thanks campfire ---today has been the best day in a long time... no doubt this community is helping me!

good to read these posts. I am 63. Nice to be reminded no matter what our age, eating less and moving more and doing weight training can be done. Plus so many benefits like feeling better. I want to sleep better and ahve more energy all day long. Thankful for the inspirational examples and ideas here. Thank you people!

Hi tym... how long have you been in mfp? I like it...easy to use...and now I have discovered the community part of it.... I think it will work "if I work it"

Hicampfire thx for the info! Congrats on 37 pounds since May....that is fabulous I do log every bite which no doubt has kept me from gaining.. I do have a food scale and am using it more and more lately....it does help. I think I've been lacking in the community department, so am thankful to get to meet you and join in…

You are here so you are a success. You have not given up. Inch by inch we help each other. Two steps forward three backward. Four forward. Etc.

Me too. Welcome.

Yes agreed. How to get it going? I will share right now. -357 today for me.1597 calories eaten. 51 exercize 1200 cal per day is my goal It is 5:19 pm. If I do not eat til breakfast tomorrow that will be helpful. Later I eat more I gain.

Something is better than nothing. Just take a baby step in right direction
