I have been missing from My Fitness Pal due to my best friend is in the process of dying from breast cancer. She wanted to say good bye to her friends and family - therefore I flew to Arizona from Oklahoma and spent almost a week with her u til other family came in. I then flew to California and spent 5 days with my…

One of the things that helps me is eating a sugar free fat free pudding at night with some sugar free whipped topping. I look forward to having a pleasure at night in front of the TV. I have 45 lbs to lose. At one point and time I had over 100 to lose.

I have also lost and gained over the years. I am now 65, retired and working on me and getting healthy. I am truly 65 but feel like I am 40. I walk a lot and have elderly parents that sometimes I need to focus on slow and steady - slow and steady wins the race !

I am going home tomorrow looking forward to getting back on my program. Stressful taking care of parents.

9/13/2023 Donna Will be busy today cutting up wood preparing for the winter. Cleaned house yesterday. I will burn lots of calories today. Feeling good about my day, prepared, with my house in order and meals planned.

9/12/2023 Donna Pissed I have made dinner and asked DH what time he wants to eat -he said 6:30 so it is ready and on the table but no DH

I can feel I am up on the scale. My scale records my weight so I am afraid to step on it. I plan to be careful for the remainder of the week, then weigh on Sunday. We live at the lake so we end up with company from time to time.

Try to exercise if possible. I also read or play games on my iPad. It helps may not work for you but give it a try. You can also meditate if you are unsure how to Google it. Very simple to sit and think about your breathing and your minor goals.

The other lunch I have is turkey lunch meat with string cheese, a fruit sometimes cantaloupe and a fruit but like I said I love the mini cucumbers and mini peppers.

I would pack a Sargento cheese and crackers and a couple of mini cucumbers. The mini’s are full of crunch and taste. I eat them like an apple.

I tried my first plant based smoothie this morning. I think I added too much ice because it is very thick but good.

I agree about the cake. I am having a dinner party tomorrow night and I am making a peanut butter cake that I have no idea what the calorie content is and it is one of my favorite cakes. I would not be making it if it was not requested.

Deejoan I want to try chia seeds. I read several articles about eating plant based food - oats and chia seeds is part of a recipe I read.

Welcome Lessennan wow Scotland! Cooking for one is easy such as this evening I had a hamburger and a cucumber with a piece of cheese. Was very easy to cook and clean up. Now I did not have the bread that most want with the hamburger.

I agree and it seems it is becoming a habit for me. I go down to the lake get some exercise late afternoon early evening. After exercise I am not hunger I just have some sugar free pudding and call it a nite. I need to work on getting dinner in but so far I have not destroyed my goals.

I have started this program just last week. I do not know how to be friends - is there a place to click to add someone as a friend? Last week we had some really good weather and I got 6000 steps in a day. Now it is hot again so I swim instead of walking. I am a bit older at 65 but still looking to exchange information that…

I spent several hours in the water on my raft and exercising as well. I find this evening I am not hunger and removed my evening meal. Not sure if the sun got me because I can eat even when I am not hungry. Dinner was bbq chicken and a garden salad. I feel more thirsty than hungry. I am sure missing one meal will not hurt…

I feel the same exact way that I always focus on everyone else then when it comes to me I have nothing else to give. I am new to this Tina but willing to be your friend so that we can learn to take care of ourselves.

Hello August and turning 65 this month! My goal is to get 6,000 steps in a day. I am 5’4” and live in rural Oklahoma. SW 213 CW 204.5 GW 165
