@Caroline_slowandsteady Mango Salsa - I don’t have an actual recipe, it’s just something I throw together. Dice up 1 peeled mango into 1/4 inch dice. Dice up a couple slices of red onion and some red bell pepper. Slice a scallion or two. Chop a bunch of cilantro (to taste - I like a lot). Season with your favorite chili…

@Cashen68 I’ll be 69 next month, and have taken off 48 pounds so far. Just 10 more to go, and I’ll be where I was at 30 years old! My step goal is 11-12,000 steps per day, and I hit that, on average. If I can start and be successful in my late 60’s so can you. Let’s cheer each other on! 📣

I work, so breakfast and lunch are pretty simple. My breakfast is usually one of 3: Low fat yogurt and Dave’s toast Oatmeal and low fat milk Homemade egg bite and Dave’s toast Lunch is often leftovers. If I don’t have leftovers, I either have Apple with peanut butter or Tuna salad sandwich Dinner is where I get my variety.…

That’s a pretty powerful opening statement! I grew up without a mother. She died when I was young, and my father mostly left his 5 children to our own devices. We were never taught basic housekeeping and daily living habits. As an adult I was often embarrassed by my own actions. It took real effort to develop daily habits…

✅ ✅ ✅ Still 2/3- hoping to save it for a party on 5/21

These days, my ‘how’ is more about activity and exercise than diet. At 141-143, I am right in the middle of a healthy BMI for my height. I would like to trim down another 10 pounds, but I am comfortable where I am for now. I concentrate a lot on my Apple Watch rings and a couple of app challenges to keep burning calories…

I wholeheartedly agree that doctors are very necessary and that proper medications are critical to manage many complex issues. My issue is not with properly prescribed medications. My issue is that too many of us want and expect a pill to solve all of our nutritional and activity deficiencies. I live in "old people…

I respectfully see your point. If you notice my screen name (which I have used online for decades) its 2 parts. Silver is a reference to my Snow White hair, which I’ve had for 25 years. Sage is a term for experience and wisdom, usually applied to tribal elders (old people). My niece in law was born in China and refers to…

My plan for the day changed unexpectedly. That really threw a monkey wrench! Exercise ✅ just barely 40 minutes - less than half my normal. Tracking - ✅ every extra calorie Calories - ❌ I was going to a party tonight and I had a plan. But at 1:00 everything changed. I had a last minute crisis with a client that tied me up…

Don't sell yourself short. You are more active and athletic than the majority of women your age! Old? At 62? 😵 That must make my wife and I ancient! In our spare time, we lay flooring, tile, hang cabinets, install baseboards, build closets, etc. We refuse to call ourselves old - that's a word I'm not ready to own. (In case…

@victorious55 When I first joined Noom last summer, they had us dive into the question of The Ultimate Why. This developed into Your Big Plan, or YBP. For the first time in my life I actually asked myself that question, and the answer surprised me. It wasn’t about a clothing size or an event. As I started thinking about…

I made it through another day. Exercise - ✅ my workday ended early yesterday, so I went to the gym in the middle of the afternoon. Did 50 minutes on the treadmill. Later, did a yoga class for another hour. No weights - I usually take a day off from those on yoga days. Tracking - ✅ Calories - ✅ thank goodness was for…

My current mini goal is my final goal. Just trying to peel off those last 10 pounds. I've been at a standstill for the past 2 months.

3 days in a row! Exercise ✅ Tracking ✅ even the wine. Calories ✅ and I was under. Still 1/3 Pass days (those darn cookies)

Wow! I spent the whole day binge reading this thread. Even in the gym on the treadmill, I was scrolling through this thread. I recently moved over here from Noom because I was missing something in the groups. I just found what I was missing! So many things I read here were reading out of my diary. Thank you @springlering62…

I got down to my original goal weight, and decided that I was at level 4. I also decided that I wanted to take off an additional 10 pounds, but that I now knew enough to do that at level 4, so I didn’t need to track. 🤭🤣😢 After spending 2 months going up and down the same 3 pounds, I realize how easy it is for me to under…

What a beautiful morning! Exercise - ✅ 12,000+ steps, 6.5 miles. Treadmill after work, outdoor walk after dinner, and a round of weights. Logging - ✅ I’m always surprised at the calories in wine - it’s so water-like, isn’t it? Calories - ✅ with just 12 to spare. I usually allow myself to use my exercise points. I’ve been…

@StayFITTer that sounds good to me.

I’m new, but I’d be happy to take a day later in the month, once I’m more familiar with what is expected. Maybe the 26th or 27th, heading into the holiday weekend?

Back on track. Exercise - ✅ Calories - ✅ Logging - ✅ Pass- still 1/3 So why is my weight up today? I think it’s from the box of cookies the day before just catching up with me.

I have to start off with a pass day. I hosted a previously planned brunch for May Day. Although it wasn’t ideal, I managed to stay within budget all day - until evening. Someone brought me a gift of butter cookies, and I managed to devour most of them before bedtime! Not an auspicious start…. Exercise - ✅- a round of yoga,…

I’m Kathy, 68, from the Gulf Coast of Florida. About 35 years ago I lost 60 pounds on Weight Watchers, and kept it off for many years. I even became a WW leader for a while. But when I turned 50 I quit smoking. I piled on the weight and have struggled ever since. Last summer, at 190+ (that was the last time I actually got…

That quote is from an old piece of Weight Watchers literature in the 1990s! I’m surprised to see it resurrected here.
