I like the idea of how you make your "Italian sausage" for lasagna. I usually make a veggie lasagna, but this would be good for a change. Thanks for sharing. We had quite a snowfall overnight so today I shoveled for 50 minutes. It was a good workout - cardio and strength training all in one. Have a good evening everyone!

So far the going is moderately better. I am down 2 lbs. Wednesday, January 1st > 169 Sunday, January 5th > 167.

Springlering62 you have some really good ideas for recipes. I am going to look for aquafaba. I stepped on the scale today and was really happy to see it showing 2 lbs. down. Happy with the start of the new yesr!

I love meringues. I can't just eat one. So they can't be on my list. You can enjoy them for me. :) So far so good on day 2. I will check in tomorrow!

Hi Everyone! Day 2 of January. Did ok today. Keeping my eye on the goal. To the woman who is struggling with coughing in the night I wish you an uninterrupted night of sleep tonight. Everyone else keep up the good work. Talk tomorrow night!

Hi! I am Cathy. I am a 65yo woman needing motivation and accountability. I will weigh in 3 times per week and log my food daily. My daily calorie allotment is 1200. I will comment daily with this challenge: Current weight: 169 Goal to lose 30 to 40 pounds. Calories used today: 1151. Thanks for having this challenge!

Thanks for welcoming me! I am 65. I am looking to lose 30 to 40 pounds. It is so nice to have a group of people in my age range who care about our health. Plus, I still do care about how I look. Not trying to be 20 again. Just still want to have some pride. So glad to be part of your group!

Hi! My name is Cathy. I live in Ohio, too. I am looking to lose at least 30 pounds. I am looking for friends to cheer me on. I will cheer you on, too!

Hi! I am Cathy. I have been up and down in my weight loss. I am wanting to lose around 30 pounds. Looking for friends to cheer me on and help me stay motivated. I will do the same for you.

Hi! My name is Cathy. I am 65. Is this group still active? I could use a lot of support as I begin this journey.

Good to hear from others. I am feeling a little frustrated because I am not seeing even a little loss yet. I know I am early into this. I only got started Friday. I guess I am being unrealistic. Glad to be on board with others. Thanks for being here!

Thanks for reminding me about the importance of tracking. You are really telling the truth!

Hi Everyone! I hope your Sunday is going well. I worked out for an hour today. I am really feeling it. It feels good, though too, because it is 2 days in a row I stuck to my commitment. It is just the beginning, but it is where I am.

Hi, I am 60 and restarting again. I lost 15 lbs and then gained back 10. I want to lose 34lbs. I will give you supports and ask for support, too. We can do it!

CONGRATULATIONS! Good work!

Hi Women! Thanks for sharing about Anne Bradstreet. I always enjoy hearing about courageous women. Felicia, I have a gay son, too. His coming out was very freeing for him. Young people are pretty accepting. Times they are a changing. Three days on track. Thanks for being here, everyone. Cathy

So I think I just join in? My first goals, though it sounds like not that much are: exercise at least 15 minutes per day and chart daily on mfp. I would appreciate any words of support and wisdom. I have 30 to 40 pounds to take off. Thanks in advance!

I would like to join. How do I do that. Thanks!

Starting weight was 160 on Feb 1st. Today, February 9th it is 159. I went to the Y 3 times this week. Glad there are so many others on this journey with me.

So glad I joined this challenge. I have been up and down with my eating since I joined, but I keep on going because I want to be successful at this challenge. Never thought being in a challenge with an online group would motivate me so much!

I guess I just daily write in the reply box. Current weight: 160 Challenge level: ♡♡♡ Challenge goal weight: 145 by May 1st ☆

How do I join this challenge?

Hang in there. You are still young and have a lot of life ahead of you. When you begin swimming you will feel better. There is nothing like being in water and swimming to help me feel at peace. And STOP calling yourself ugly. Believe in your beauty.

It felt good today when I was with some coworkers at lunch. I was eating my healthy lunch and not feeling cravings. Then later I had a healthy snack which kept me going until I could have dinner. Thanks for being here everyone!

Thanks for the support! I am surprised how supported I already feel communicating online. Right now my exercise is walking. That is something I know I can commit to. Good night all!

Hi Everyone! I am 58 and want to join in! I am going to the doctor on Friday and am hoping she doesn't tell me I have diabetes. I have 45 pounds to lose.

My first plan is to complete the mfp food journal daily, no matter what I eat. The next part of my plan is to walk at least 10 minutes daily. That may mot sound like much, but it is what I can realistically see myself doing. Thanks for asking. Your asking makes me have to be specific about what I am doing.

Thanks to who wrote about the realistic weight goals. I have 45 lbs to lpse so I will aim for the 1.5lbs per week.

I am beginning again today, too. On another post it said that a realistic goal for somebody with 40 to 74 pounds to lose is 1.5lbs per week so that is what I amaking my goal. I have about 45 tp lose. I believe we can do it!
