I love popcorn so this is my go to snack. (Simply Nature organic popcorn 35 calories per cup, 4 cups is my usual serving which is quite a bit). Also carrot sticks, celery sticks, cherry tomatoes or bell peppers dipped in Skinny Girl chipotle ranch dressing (15 calories for 2 Tbsp). Lots of ways to satisfy the need to chew…

Hi Sonjakohl, congrats on your weight loss! I lost 140 and as a result excess skin on my stomach was hanging very low. It would slap and flap when I was in Zumba and I would develop a visible crescent sweat stain (so usually only wore black) plus I had to lift it to wash underneath when showering. My boobs also drooped. I…

Definitely doable- I started at 360, now 229. My journey has been years in the making and had a lot of starts and stops but not giving up is key! My goal now is to get to 180 in 2024. Age 62(f), 5’6”. You absolutely can do this - get moving with exercising, water and a calorie deficit. I accomplished my weight loss with…

Another pass day - resting my knee from falling in my yard. Great on food and tracking but I am a bit hobbled (soooo miss exercising) :/

Thanks for sharing the blog details - - love the mean girl photo (I've beat my inner critic up pretty good over the years but she is a resilient old broad and keeps popping into my head to self-sabotage my efforts). I'll check out the blog for some much needed encouragement. I'm taking a pass day today - did great on food…

Happy Birthday! This year I turned 60 as well - definitely does not suck, in fact I love it! Never felt or looked better!

NSV - I am feeling very on top of my health & I actually love working out - cardio! Love to dance in Zumba and Dance Fitness.

Nice message with today's nugget. I've lost a lot of weight and am still what some would call "plus size" but I'm pretty pleased with my curvy look - tired of wasting my precious life comparing myself to an impossible standard and women years younger than me. I just want to focus on eating better and working out with a few…

Yes x 3 today - honestly, tracking is such a challenge for me but I am hanging in. Love today's "nugget" especially item #3 - - Only change what you’re willing to do the rest of your life. This is sooo true. I used to be a career couch potato back in the day, now I cannot imagine not moving my body and getting sweaty at…
