wow you look great , good for you !

once I started eating right I was shocked at how many calories I had been indulging in I am now quite well fed and that is eating less than half what I used to

odd post . the way to make friends is to be a friend. work on you and when you really want to be a friend then post helpful remarks and you will find friends that are interested .

go to find member paste in the members name and send a request ! ( I just had to look that up !) Nice to meet you I am 58 , and started last may , now down 39.5 lbs with 36.5 to get to my eventual goal .

do you really want this ? I ask because I spent years loosing a couple lbs then gaining it back plus extra last may I finally had enough of how I looked and felt . found this site and started logging . once I realized how over sized my portions were and cut back portions added fiber and made getting healthy a priority the…

beans , lentils, cheese, almonds,Yogurt ( specially Greek or Icelandic) , chia seed protein powder ( I make a smoothie each morning with some fiber protein powder yogurt and often chia seed ) Chicken Thighs are juicer than chicken breasts , and chicken breasts are more moist and flavorful if cooked in broth or savory…

Keep at it ! good advice here , take your meds, eat well , move when you can and stay motivated , it will come off but the slow months are annoying .

yes that worked !

I save my 200 cal for at night because I am also a night owl , and have a snack of dark chocolate and some almonds or bowl of whole grain cereal ,( oatmeal , farina with oat bran added , or a fortified cereal like cinnamon toast crunch or life ). that solves my craving for a sweet in a reasonably healthy way . do not cut…

every lb lost is a success ! Heck every LB I do not gain is a success!

took me a few times but I am free of the habit 18 years now and would not ever go back . I used the nicotine patch and chocolate ! It is not easy but such a good thing to do for your health . the first 2 weeks are hard after that it gets so much better You can do this

today I did 90 min on the elliptical for the first time ever ! I was so pleased with my self !

eat well ( 12-1600 cal a day and move more and you will succeed . if you DIET in my mind that is restrictive and joyless meaning you are eating foods that do not please you you will have trouble . food is pleasure . Like you I love fruit and veggies . I look at this as an eating plan not a diet , I build my days around…

it happened to me only a couple times I went and had a spoon of peanut butter only because my protein was also low that day . if you know you are eating enough to sustain you do not worry about 1 day . if you may not have had as much as you really should have a snack before bed . It is all about staying at a healthy…

you can do it , 234 days in I am at 39 lbs and many pant sizes lost , Just over halfway to my goal and feeling good about the journey . This site has been a huge help

why open the posts that are silly I only read the threads that interest me , cooking , nutrition , exercise and post with others asking diet related questions . You are responsible to yourself to only choose the threads that are weight loss related . there are loads of good people here even if a few are bored and like the…

I soaked my blackeyed peas and did 30 min and let the pressure release on its own they were creamier than if I used the slow cooker for 2224 hours and I tossed in a leftover bone in pork loin and dome seasonings and every thing was perfect . still getting used to it but every thing I have done so far is good . I have put…

exercise a bit extra and eat smarter tomorrow do not over stress or beat yourself up over eating more than you planned

almost the same goal here also I am almost 7 months in loss has been very slow the last few weeks with all the holiday food but I am averaging a lb lost every 6-7 days I do not eat completely clean , I refuse to give up coffee and an occasional drink I try hard to eat whole foods and not overdo sugar . I work out at home (…

People must not have double standards. If it’s interesting that I’m also another race then it’s just as interesting to be white too. Stop calling me different.[/quote] wrong I am white quite boring , mixed is way more interesting . exotic , pretty just more exciting . as a straight haired older white lady I find any thing…

what is healthy eating ? depends on your goals . for me I wanted to loose weight, lower my blood pressure , keep my blood sugar in check and get more fit increase . So I am setting my goals on higher fiber and minerals , and foods that are low calorie and high nutrient and allow for occasional splurges . my husband does…

22 cal over what ? so you get to set how fast you want to do this . 22 cal is not much to worry about go do 10 minutes of walking or dance you will be back in deficit , it is the many days of 2000 + cal that causes the problems

fill your cupboards and fridge with healthy foods that are low calorie and high fiber . so that even the treats are good for you treats . and there are loads of tasty foods that will satisfy and not throw you off track . I make soups with lots of onions and celery and carrot as the base using home made salt free chicken…

and the op is 84 congrats you make me feel like a 58 year old spring chick !

I see a lot of judgement , many younger members and especially men do not understand how few calories it takes to gain weight if you are a post menopausal woman with mobility issues, our metabolism is so much slower than man or a younger woman . I am older, I get it even at 1200-1400 cal I only loose a few lbs a month and…

I get it from the netrition site I get most of my fiber supplements there they have good prices just the orange drink mix was from walmart but crystal light is in most stores and tastes the same the walmart one is just cheaper. if you take it in yogurt drink 8-16 oz of water because it is the interaction with the water or…
