Am 76 and going to hang on to my athletic goals for 2024; 80km KVR bike ride, the Grouse Grind, then as a reward I'll paddle my kayak on the turquoise waters just east of Jasper, Alberta. These goals may be “pie in the sky” but you never know unless you try. If I can’t do the 80km, then 40 is better than 10. Week 1 actual…

NoynoyAvery ~ you asked about dealing with stress. I also turn to food. Often will get thru the initial stress okay but when I relax down a bit I eat. Now, IF I'm in "the smart" zone, I'll have flavored herbal tea ( mango or something similar), and try to remember to do relaxing breaths. But all too often food is my "go…

Donna, I googled "canadian diabetes guidelines regarding protein" and found the following. "A protein intake of 0.8-1 g/kg should be recommended only for patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Other patients with diabetes should not reduce protein intake to less than 1 g/kg of body weight." My interpretation is…

Decided to take advantage of our snow-less winter and walked a couple of miles. Usually we'd be snowshoeing this area in ? about 24 inches of snow.

Woke super early so have had a chance to catch up reading thru recent posts. I see so many diligently doing the work and losing weight. I def need to step up my game and follow my meal plans rather than “go with the flow and sort of follow a plan”. Jenny, oh how amazing it must’ve felt to fit into those jeans! Happy Dance…

I'm in! I'll be 77 soon and need to get this upward wt trend stopped and reversed. Work then dr's appt, so will be back later. Day 1 of the rest of my life, Lynn

Dawn, also would like / want / need to get 15 off by May. But stuck in a deep rut at home base. Hubby bakes sourdough bread which I find irrisistable. Most other foods are healthy but . . . ; also need to get inspired to add a lot of deliberate exercise daily, but that also is like working thru an obstacle course of…

Just lost a post. Grrrrr Donna, I'm a visual person and I view my wt loss journey as Dorothy from the Land of Oz, traveling along the yellow brick road. I think both of us have wandered off the path, perhaps after the detour at Christmastime cause loss of direction and we've been wandering in the woods. But wait, what's…

Maz 2024, that's weird how your scale displays weights / fractions. Does it have anything on the back that allows you to change the display to decimals rather than numeric? Can you exchange it for a different one? Week 3: Day 15-01/15: 176.2 WW 30/23 Worked. Only squats & heel raises. Day 16-01/16: 176.4 ☹ WW 26/23 pts.…

My personal goal for 2024 is to just lose 15, 20, 25 then ?30 pounds; I need this achievement as I recover from a bad reaction to using MiO water flavoring last year. Lost muscle strength to the point where I couldn’t even begin to raise my butt out of my kayak. I’m 76 and going to hang on to my athletic goals for 2024;…

Week 2: Day 08-01/08: 174.2 Work continues to be challenging b/c of equipment break-downs. Day 09-01/09: 174.8 Repair guy never showed up plus large order came in. Not an easy day but tomorrow I’m off! Did 3 sets of 12 reps of: 5# Bicep curls, 5# upright rows, 5# hammer curls. Struggled to complete these and really felt it…
