Hi, I am Susan, back for my second month of UAC. Just yesterday I finished with my last psychotherapy client, so although I still own a counseling center that I run, I am mostly retired now as that only involves a few hours of work per week and I am free from work commitments that require meetings. Now I should have plenty…

My husband and I found the same thing. It has only been since I started here that I even tried a low carb or keto diet, and the thing that impresses me if how much less hunger I have! In fact, it is clear to me that when I have eaten little carbs for the day, the hunger I do feel passes easily and if I REALLY want to eat,…

I saw that one too! It has made me think more about the importance of drinking enough water when trying to lose weight.

@Ladybug8882021 I think there is a big difference between doing an 800 calorie diet a couple of times per week and doing it everyday. I think if you are going to do it every day, you do need good medical supervision. Here are a couple of references: https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-weight/very-low-calorie-diets/…

@Summerskier I stopped playing tennis for more than 20 years and then took it up again. I found there were two tennis centers near me that offered tennis ¨drills¨ groups that you could drop in to practice tennis together that included drills and then playing that rotated partners frequently. Participating in those drills…

@mmcram I love it! I have never heard anyone say they need to get in shape for retirement before, but it makes a lot of sense-- obviously you want an active retirement. I am retiring to get healthier (the inability not to put work and the needs of other people ahead of my own health got to the point I realized I need to…
