August has me clocking in at the same weight I've been at for several months (even though my 'if every day was like today you'd weigh X in 5 weeks" LOL mmm-hmmm). I do feel fitter though, and that's why I'm really doing this, so I guess that's a bonus. Started up at the Y several months ago, convinced my mum and daughter…

Sounds like you are doing the right things. Some carbs are good for you (like brown rice, or other whole grains, etc). Perhaps try incorporating more protein sources to balance out the healthy carbs that are in your diet. Then at least your percentages will balance out. Fruits and veggies count towards carbs, but they are…

Hello, I've been over 200 for several years now (8-9 maybe)....my average weight used to be 155-165, 5'9" (I'm currently close to 5'8"!!); until about 40yrs old when I went up to 180, held there for several years then after an illness went up over 200. I am currently tracking around 218-223, down from a top of 226. I am…

I've fallen off the Journaling wagon a bit, but I have several. I like to write in them, it's fallen off to monthly or if something happens, but I'm trying to get back in a weekly habit. Sometimes it's the weather, sometimes it's about something I saw, or something I thought, so.etimes I sketch, sometimes it's a story, or…

I had to make an effort to do something in the morning. A lot of the times it ends up being 'just' a 20 min yoga session, either on TV/ online or doing my own, sometimes I dust off an old exercise dvd....anything so I know if my day goes haywire at least I've "done something". It took a lot of the pressure off. Many nights…

A redbox rental! made some popcorn and movie night last night was hunkering down before the storm. However the last item I purchased that I received (delivery arrived last night) was new snow pants!! I am so excited! I was using the same pair for years and years (decades?) and they had started to fail...so last year I was…

Here's an article that outlines some of the concepts and talks about set-points as well. https://www.livestrong.com/article/13729967-weight-set-point-theory/

You may have just gone below your body's happy weight and it's fighting you to put some back on. Try staying on a track of eating healthy foods at the portion sizes that has already worked for you so well, and doing a set of activity (doesn't have to be intense because you are not trying to lose more) on a daily schedule…

I am on Levothyroxine for thyroid replacement (due to surgical removal of thyroid gland). I am 52. I seem to be able to fix at one weight rather frustratingly so!! LOL because often I am trying to lose weight! I am not your height, I am 5'8" and am currently overweight at 95 kilos...but I encounter many of the same issues…

How important movement was to keep me on my daily goal, while allowing me to eat 'normally'. Also, how much a banana impacts my day (see movement though LOL). My biggest aha though was seeing why I was great at maintaining a weight number...even if it was one I wanted to lose; my daily numbers if I wasn't really 'trying'…

Tippy and Molly - can't seem to locate the more recent pictures where you can actually see them LOL

Molly. She is always ready for walks, but as she's gotten older (I think she's 12 or 13 now) she likes to go a bit slower on the return to home (all uphill of course LOL)

Oh my goodness!! so much cuteness! Let me see if I can get pics of my yoga snugglers and walk co-horts!

I really like walking...walking in the woods, walking along city streets, walking in a public park or reserve, just walking the dogs, walking and talking with friends....I've used walking as my go-to, "isn't going to be to hard to motivate myself to do that" sort of exercise, kind of along the lines that anything is better…

New member, 51...have been trying to do the slow and steady weight loss for the last 6 months...have dropped about 10 pounds from the (OMG this has to stop!) start weight LOL. Activities are mostly walking 2-3 miles several times a week, or using the (ancient) exercise bicycle for 25-50 min (however long the Netflix…

My Short-term goal is to be good about logging in and keeping honest track of my habits/eating/exercise. My intermediate goal is to work more vegetables back into my diet and reduce meat consumption (not eliminate, although I did do that for several years). I eat generally pretty healthy, but often I do not eat enough…
