OMG! Tube of meat! I think it is a pound-sized package. Even that sounds hilarious!

I just started couch 2 5K, and have repeated day one three times. Now I feel ready to do day two. I might do that a few times, too. It is easier to run after you have lost a few lbs. so don't worry. Go your own pace.

This last Wednesday I woke up feeling bloated and sick after eating half a salty, greasy pizza the night before. I got on the scale and it read 200.0 for the first time ever. I have logged in religiously for the past 2 days, gotten out to exercise both days and am not going to stop until I reach my goal weight. I am sick…

I didn't want to do my food diary today because I went for nachos and a margarita. But I did anyway and still came in under goal!

I'm going to make this today! Thanks!

I love quinoa and use it for tabbouleh salad, too. This recipe sounds great and will have to try!

I did not quit, just went out of town and ate at restaurants, drank wine, etc. did not exercise and gained 4 lbs. Now I am one lb. OVER where I started. Something has to change, and it has to be ME. I am asking myself some serious questions about why I have gained all this weight since menopause and what to do about it.…

Although I am new here, I also want to give some words of support, Michele! Why is it that those closest to us insist on sabotaging our efforts?? I haven't told my DH that I have joined this website. He would start bringing home chips, my downfall. Hang in there and stick to your guns. But today, we are having friends over…

I used to eat these every day. They are so full of sodium!! So I switched to making my own lunches and making more dinner so I have leftovers. But now and then I like the Kashi meals. Lots of flavor and not as much sodium. A little spendy, so I wait for them to go on sale.

I like nonfat ricotta cheese on toast. It also makes a great snack with some Splenda and almond extract.

Hi everyone, just want to check in. It will take me a while to get to know everyone well enough for personals. I got my walk in this morning. I live in Bend, OR, and there is a landmark called Pilot Butte. It is a cinder cone, and there is a .8 mile trail up to the top. Today I hiked up in 20 min.! Great workout. On track…

Hi, is there room for one more 50+ retired school teacher here? I want to be accountable and motivated by joining a group. Hope to meet everyone soon! My screen name, Melyhegedu, is Hungarian for viola, the instrument I play. I taught public school for years, now teaching at a private music school. I want to get back into…

I'm a refugee from Juneau, now in Bend, OR. Today it's sunny. 88º and smoky from the fires. But we had lots of smoke this time of year up there, too. I am going to lose 22 lbs. for good this time. I don't know where my Xtra Tufs are! And I haven't worn my Goretex rain jacket since I left.

you guys are all amazing. thanks for sharing your stories and for the ideas and support.

I'm 55 and want to be in my best shape physically and mentally by 60! Sign me up and let's do this together.
