Ginny, hang in there. Sometimes the body is stubborn in wanting to let go. Not everybody loses weight like the next person. I belong to a gym and they are clueless but then I only pay $15 a month at Planet Fitness. Had one woman show me around and now she's the manager. What I heard from her I could have gotten from any…

Well, I'm in. I need to lose weight. Want to lose 30 lbs by April 1st. I really hate that I'm near the 'obese' number on the charts. Grrrr! My downfall is sugar lately. Never used to have trouble dropping sugar, but this time it's been nuts since early Sept. Gained the 8 lbs I lost earlier this year. I would LOVE friends…

Hi Everyone, you all seem like wonderfulgroup of ladies! I'd love to join in the conversation. I'm 53. I want to lose 30-35 lbs this winter and just am not finding the much-needed support I need. If anyone likes to encourage and converse back and forth to motivate each other (more than just the occasional 'like') send me a…

I can relate too! I am looking for someone who really wants to encourage me and I will encourage them. I need to lose about 30 lbs and I'd be happy, but I've gotten down 8 lbs and gained it back over the summer. So disappointed in myself, but I won't quit trying. Feel like I'm starting over again at ground zero for the nth…

Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. The lyrics, 'Quick to the point to the point no faking, I'm cooking MCs like a pound of bacon...' haha, funny but annoying when I can't stop hearing it. :p

Feel free to add me. Would be great to have some support too! I have 30+ lbs to lose this winter.

Im right there with you! I need someone who wants to encourage and be encouraged. I don't get a lot of comments anymore like when I began, you can add me. I know people start off with good intentions but don't keep up. I have 35 lb to lose. Let's do this!!

Feel free to add me. I'm 52 and know the struggles of trying to lose at our age. I'm determined too to do this. Would be fun to have another to talk to about the day to day challenges. ☺

It's always tough to lose for most, but your doctor should encourage you, sounds like he isn't. Feel free to add me. I'm in similar boat. I exercised all last winter and dropped my bad cholesterol a lot though. It would have been even better had summer indulging not interferred. I need to lose another 30. Happy to…

For me, it's diet 75% because I know if I watch what I eat and don't snack, I lose weight without exercise. I lost 20 lbs that way. Last year, I exercised for an hour a day. I only lost 10 lbs this way in 6 long months. The bonus with the activity was that my cholestrol/trigylcerides went down many points. That's GREAT!…

Try to limit it to meals if you need it with food. Then over time try to lessen the amt in your glass each meal. Try to add a full glass of water before meals so you don't feel as thirsty. I used to think I needed a full glass of soda with meals just because I was used to it. I found out that 1/2 glass was just as…

I hear ya! It's better than possibly having a stroke/heart attack and those have far worse consequences if you live through one (you'll have to be in the hospital for a while, will need to take other meds, etc). Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to aneurysm, damage to your eyes' nerves, heart failure, damage to…

For. Every doctor I know says get it. I didn't one year and was out of work sick for a whole week. Never missed it after that.

In a case with a person injured, please call 911. They are professionals and know what to do. People involved don't think clearly as they may be in shock (which happened to my dad once). Then afterwards in their right mind they do second guess themselves. At least the EMTs can check them out (often it's the fire dept…

I can appreciate when the right candidates get approved for bypass surgery, however I'm more concerned about the co-workers I have heard talking about LYING on the questionaire just to get approved. Supposedly there are questions that when answered the right way make you a much better candidate for the surgery. Sad. The…

I read we need to eat smaller meals more often, it helps metabolism and you won't get really hungry at night. I know how you feel, I get hungry at night about an hour after dinner and that's my worst time. Try finding things to keep occupied with. It's often night time when we stop and sit down and eat in front of the tv.…

Beautiful!! Oh to be in my 20's and thin again! :smiley: Those were the days! You look stunning and you have the tools to keep it off! Congratulations.

Weight watchers scale is very consistent on same day. Will say same weight 5 times in a row. Weight does fluctuate from day to day, that's very common. Could be water retention.
