  • Hi All: I hope you are all doing well Greg....Italy....oh my I am so jealous. I have only been there once and I felt I was living in a movie it was absolutely beautiful. Sorry you are getting discouraged but keep on pushing. Beverly and least the scale went down and not up. Darla - sometimes when I have the urge to eat I…
  • @Beverly ....yes i have been swimming. I have been going 2-3 times a week. I can't wait to hear how your running coach instructions go! I do miss running but I usually walk every day or at least several times a week. @Darla - your camping trip sounds fun. We are going (well we rented a small cabin) to Great Smokies in…
  • @greg.....nice update!! I get what you mean about discontent. I feel lucky that my body is still doing strong at 66! So many don't have that opportunity you know. Have well out lived my father and when i think of it i feel blessed to have each day. Marla...great on keeping at 1260 calories! I honestly don't count the…
  • Welcome Greg! happy to have you here. Gosh, I know what you mean when you go off the rails and and think....well heck I might as well TOTALLY go off the rails. Hate that but sounds like you are turning it around. Beverly and Marla! So happy your scales are going in the right direction! Beverly 2.4 pounds in one week? That…
  • Hi All: It sounds like everyone is doing well. I think I am almost at two weeks with no sugar and eating healthy. Like you Darla it is so hard after dinner. Sometimes I go for a walk just to get my mind off of eating and it helps!
  • Darla! Welcome! We got you covered! I hope we can all support you. I am in my 60's too so you are not alone. Beverly- good for you! Keep up the good work. I am on day 8 I think of eating healthy and I do feel so much better. I want to keep this streak going. Eating a lot of healthy food. Have a good Monday everyone! Thanks…
  • WAY TO GO! That is great!
  • Hunger is the Best Seasoning! I love this and is so very true. My mom (who was a widow for many years) used to say "food tastes better when eating it with someone." So true! That is great Beverly you have stayed below 1200 for 3 days! WOW! That is something. I am not too good at tracking but do usually eat about 1800 a day…
  • Hello Beautiful People! @BeverlyW1108 welcome back and if you only gained a few pounds the whole time you were on vacation is a WIN. Those last 5-10 pounds are so stubborn aren't they?? @ Marla that is interesting to hear that these last pounds should be no more difficult to get off. I have been doing really well. Not…
  • Way to go Marla on losing 2.8!! Is that in one week time? I am down one pound but I think it may be water weight. Still struggling with sleep. It is so crazy when I am eating healthy (less junk food and less carb) I struggle with insomnia. When I eat terrible...I sleep well. Like a sugar coma but I know it is not healthy.…
  • @SweetHeart1299 I am sorry you are feeling this way. I understand this and when I am not eating healthy I tend to get very depressed. It is a very hard cycle to break. I don't have much advice for you but I wanted you to know I feel your pain and am sorry you are feeling down. I try to take it one day at a time. When I get…
  • THIS!! Let's get those last 5-10 pounds off !!
  • @Marla86336 21 consecutive days....way to go!!! That is my goal. Keep up the good work. @gregphopkins we are all still here and fighting the fight! Keep positing! You seem to be doing well. It seems those last 10 pounds (well with me) are the hardest to get off.
  • Hi All and Happy Saturday! I love your suggestions @Marla86336 - the brushing the teeth works for me as well. Also sometimes when I am hungry (and shouldn't be) I will set an alarm for 30 minutes and by that time the urge has passed. I went to a potluck yesterday and ate normal! Today invited to a barbque! So many…
  • @VRTC1960 Welcome....it is nice to have you hear. God Bless you for taking care of your mom. You are a wonderful daughter. Ugh....I know what you mean about Crumbl cookies....those things are addicting!! Yes, yesterday is gone and today is a new day. I know exactly what you mean about mental beatings! Sometimes I don't…
  • Hi All! i just got caught up reading everyone's posts. You all have such good advice. So happy you are all here and it just starts my day off good to read this post. We got back from our trip late last night. Of course I am ashamed to admit I went off the rails! Oh well back to day one! I am here and plan to make the rest…
  • Greetings all! @SweetHeart299 You sound a lot like me with the anxiety and stress that gives me insomnia. It's crazy some nights I lay awake and think of things that I did that bothered me years and years ago. Ugh....so crazy. BeverlyW1108 thank you for the early birthday wishes (20th) so thoughtful you! Your trip sounds…
  • @Marla86336 Way to go on being down 1.1 pound!! Excellent. I am feeling so much better after a decent night sleep and healthy eating. Yes, traveling will be a challenge. I am kinda of dreading it but hoping for the best. Have a great Wednesday y'all!
  • Greetings all! I did stay on track yesterday and feel better today although not much sleep. We are going on a road trip to MI and the thought of eating out at restaurants scares me. I always tend to over do it. I like how some of you bring your own food and that makes sense to me. Even the scale! I like that to be held…
  • @SweetHeart299 Welcome and glad you are here! I struggle with discipline and commitment. Another failed weekend for me. I get so frustrated. I hope we can all support each other. Today is a new day and a new start for me and glad to have you and everyone else along for the ride.
  • Good morning all! @Maria86336 great on the food scale! I would imagine that really helps with counting the calories. I would love that store you mention. I am getting ready to go for a 5 mile walk. I am going to eat well today!! Have a great Saturday!
  • Hi All! glad to hear we are back on track. I had a slip the other day but am doing well and feeling so much better. Like you @Marla86336 I hope to figure out why I deviate from a healthy plan when I know how it makes me feel so much better to eat well. I have been gaining and losing same 5-10 pounds for ever. Well let's…
  • Oh I am so with you on the plastic cup!!! I hate, hate, hate drinking wine from a plastic cup! I think it does have something to do with outdoor dining. I won't drink wine out of plastic. So bad for the environment as well.
  • @Marla86336 I had a good day yesterday as well. I ate healthy (feel so much better) and exercised which also made me feel better. I have been planning my meals out in advance which really helps. Today is the 1st of the month lets all try to get through the next 31 days eating healthy. We can do this!
  • @Maria86336 Welcome ....happy to have you! I love your goal!! 3-5 pounds by Sept.1 is very doable. I will try that myself!! I have been gaining and losing the last 5 pounds for several years now. Time to just get them off. Yes, Monday is a good day to start and tomorrow starts a new month. I bet rural NY is beautiful but i…
  • @amreing Yes, today is a new day. Monday. I am right there with you on being off track. Let's get through the week and exercise and eat healthy. Thank you for the sleeping tips. I need all the help I can get. I do read at night and that sometimes makes me sleepy. @BeverlyW1108 Your trip looks fantastic! I know you are…
  • Hi All! I hope all are doing well and staying safe and cool. I am just checking in and am down 1.5 pounds back to my prevacation weight. I feel so much better now that I am exercising and eating healthy. It makes such a big difference. Best to all of you!
  • Hi All! I hope you are are doing well. On day 3 of healthy eating and exercise and am starting to feel effects. So simple really. Still not sleeping well. Do any of you suffer from insomnia? It is awful and I read so much about how sleep restores you mind and body. You just can't make yourself sleep though. Well I hope…
  • Hi All! I just lost a big long reply to all of you! Oh rats! I am home from vacation and had a great time. It was so hot at the beach. What is happening to our lovely planet???? These record heat waves just keep getting worse. Anyhow I am happy to be back on track. Day 1 for me. I did gain 3 lbs but that is OK. I feel so…
  • @amreing thank you for podcast suggestions. Yes, you surely have a lot on your plate! I love listening to a podcast when I walk. I am down 1.5 pounds after two weeks. I just hope I don't gain this weekend. Weekends for some reason are soooo hard. I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. "Came from a plant, eat it;…
