thanks ya all :)

feel free to add me as well. I'm not keto but I am 63 and can well understand the weight loss frustrations of a senior!

Your BMI puts you well UNDER morbidly obese, aka FAT. Getting fit is far different though. I agree, it's important but you can exercise your *kitten* off and the cellulite will still remain. Work your way up to the full mile run by going as far as you can and walking the remainder, adding a little more running stride until…

I will keep you in prayer for healing of that broken heart! Keep strong and do not ever measure yourself based on others. Big healing hug! <3 <3 <3

It takes a combination of factors. From what I can tell, uncontrolled appetite, especially for fried, processed and quick foods. This goes hand in hand with a lack of any reasonable activity. Some people end up bedridden while others are still ambulatory, albeit, limitedly. Dr. Now mentioned the caloric intake of one of…

Hometics scale and measuring plunger. I saw the latter on Alton Brown's Good Eats show and have been sold on it!

Maybe I should share with you the family rules for going out. 1) Only one time a month. Whoever loses the most poundage that month selects the place from our researched list. 2) It has to be dining OUT. No buffets. Full service "someone waits on you" stuff. It need not be four-star, just sit-down and not a buffet. 3) We're…

Also, why a cheat day? When we do go out, we don't "cheat". We may go a little over calorie wise, however, we stick to healthier foods. Things I couldn't or wouldn't necessarily cook at home.

It kind of depends on what your cheat meal is all about. For me, if its something like fast food, where you really cannot control salt, I puff up like a balloon from the excess sodium and put on as much as 1-2 lbs in water weight! So I try not to have cheat days. Instead, once a month, our family opts for a nice sit-down…

You want to know something? Since our family quit eating fast food, we have saved over $300.00 a month. Imagine!

You're probably right. I am concerned though. I wonder why people are encouraging others to be overweight when we know its unhealthy. Then again, "My Big Fat Fabulous Life" anyone?

I went and looked and while its nice that Amberlyn has some kind of income from it, it's a little like paying a drug addict to OD online, isn't it?

Thank you for your insight. I've felt for some time that there are lots of people making videos who are seeking attention and, usually, they do it in a non-destructive way. But this seemed like destructive behavior.

It does seem that way. Or maybe its a cry for help.

You are now MY inspiration!!!!

I opted for distance vision because I wanted to be absolutely clear when driving and, since I had developed a night vision issue with cataracts, he even agreed this was most important. Readers do work for the computer. I guess I will adjust to the reversal over time.

Yes, I had both eyes done at the same time. It's been weird. I used to be able to see close up (6-12 inches) but not far away ( I was nearsighted). Now it's the total reverse! I'm going to ask the doc why this is. I see him tomorrow. I love having the distance without glasses but this slipping on reading glasses every time…

Well come on and journey with a sister in Christ :)

Thanks! I didn't know this group existed. There's so many groups listed its hard to find them all. I signed on :)

Feel free to add an old grandma, too. Honey, the hardest part of the weight loss journey is knowing that it IS a journey. Have you ever heard of a journey going great all the time? I haven't! So come on into the imperfection called "weight loss". Embrace the fact that you're not perfect, we're not perfect, so all of our…

well I challenged myself and blew it.. for a bit. But if anyone is still following this, please tell me that its okay to restart! :(

Im 63 and learning every day! Hi there to Snickerscharlie! Charlie i've been there. I was diagnosed with it quite a few years back (around 10). Hashimotos can give your life a total upside down! But hang in there! You can get through this!!

Well I missed yesterday. I was in the hospital here all day (pre surgery) and they had NO reliable cell connections! by the time i got home. i was so tired :(

Still going strong!

My mom had one of those and swore by it too!so far Im still on the old fashioned one lol

I agree! No electric can opener for me.. I had one once upon a nightmare...

Mine may seem rather odd but... I take them from frozen, put about 1/4 of a cup of unsalted chicken broth, some frozen stew veggies into the pot, set it on manual for 3 minutes and test to see if more time is needed (sizes of breasts vary. After its cooked to temp and the veggies are done (not spongy) I take it out, add a…

Maybe one day I will break down and buy one. Another old fashioned baker suggests something- I'll listen! It could make things easier as I age also. I know I resisted the Instant Pot at first, now I have a love affair going with it ! lol Thanks for the inuput!

Thanks RA! and Madison. He seems better when hes' taking the medication to deal with the irritation but the stuff with codeine does nothing for pain, unfortunately. So one medication works, the other only makes him dopey. What he has to do is pass it. So far..no pass. He is finally getting in to see a urologist next week…

Up at hospital until 1 am with hubby. He has a kidney stone!
