Thank you All!!

Oh, what did I eat and how much exercise did I get? I ate a low sodium diet consisting mainly of fish, chicken and some beef in no more than 3 to 4 ounces of protein a day due to medical reasons. I ate lots of vegetables, raw mostly and two servings of fruit a day. Lots of non fat milk. Very low animal fats. Lots of olive…

This is me pre cancer surgery. It will take a year and a half or more to recover fully but I have faith. Now go and live your lives fully and joyfully!!

I rarely overeat anymore. If I do, I exercise like a crazy person and lose another pound!

Great! Lots of good ideas here......writing them down!!!!

Thanks!!! I am glad I found two people here. Maybe more soon? It has been a tough road for me since I am not really young, just young at heart now. Age 69. I will add you two and we can keep it going, okay? Jeannie

If you have the $$ and value your little group of buddies like I do at my Utah Starbucks, (due to the Mormon influence they are very few here), then go to low fat and cut the whip cream. Nothing like denying oneself this little oasis of yummy stuff to set you up for DEFEAT. Don't give it up. Make adjustments!! I've lost 61…

People who just want to do nothing and then complain about their weight.

Fears Nothing at all!

Forget the medications to speed up your metabolism. Exercise, even moderate, is the best thing. Some Yoga or meditation to get your head together and then.....try getting together with good friends. No drinking or drugs, just talking. A good mental attitude goes a long way to having a good outlook on life and feeling like…

Oh God, I passed one of those last night!

Negative thinking, stress, poor self esteem is very damaging to ones health. We need to sort out what is negative and what is positive in our lives. Unless we do, the negatives will eventually be our undoing. Unless we can see clearly what is negative how can we fight or strive for our lives to be positive?? Not the case…

You can do it. I messaged you. Probably 4 days a week I do 1,200 calories. The rest of the time I go over a little. Check your mail.

So true! If you plan to burn a bunch of calories then you can do this!!!

OKAY. Do the low calorie bread. One tablespoon of P.B. and get the low sugar jelly. You will do just fine! Limit the amount of fat that you have the rest of the day! Big salad no dressing on the side and a big glass of water over ice.

This too shall pass....

Ha, ha! Chemtrails in the mind. The uninformed.

I hope so! He's cute.

Oh God, be careful honey. A good sense of self esteem and a balanced diet, avoid toxic relationships and get out and walk or bike or go to a gym. Also, someone who loves you. All of these total up to good homeopathy I believe. Lots of cuddling (s*x) also....oops, edit me.

That is just too cute!

Oh wow! This is a great thread! I could ruin it by saying that wind is what my dog passes but..........I won't.....

Jesus Christ.

Went down two pounds so I hope today didn't demolish what I lost. Barbecued Salmon Green Salad with cherry tomatoes and garbanzo beans, Balsamic vinaigrette. One slice French Bread with whipped cream cheese. One 3" slice Apple Pie, low sugar.

Both are crap. Water, unsweetened juice or veggie juice.

I use my local market's online service which delivers the groceries right to the trunk of your car! I like to choose my own fresh produce though and the bread also. Mainly I use it in the winter when getting to the store in a snowstorm is tricky.

Face it, it's nasty stuff. I'm losing and I include a little sugar, butter and all the real stuff. Won't risk any health concerns with aspartame. Or fake fat. I took in a lot of the sugar substitute once a long time ago and did not lose weight. I got hungrier! My ears also started ringing. Why mess with your body like that?

Some smaller clothes I want to get into.

I have a small hidden bag of Hersheys Kisses and I enjoy three of them three times a week with tea. I can't eat any more or I just lose it. I hide it or my husband would devour them in one sitting. They are mine, all mine. LOL.
