I am 64 and been active since mid Feb. This is the place to be to get to where you want to be. My sister is 62 and is a member. There are lots of members around our age group and losing weight very well. Add me as a friend if you would like.

I like it , but in my case , it makes me hold fluid. But, that's me. I drink iced tea and I love it.

About 10 pounds. At 64, it seemed harder to lose than in my younger years. I do 3 miles on treadmill most days. I think that really helps. I hope that I lose as much on month # 2. I would be happy with 8 pound loss as well. BUT ! I am shooting for another 10.

I make my own yogurt too. Very easy. You can put it into a lined colander and let it drip for a few hours and it will get a bit thicker like the Greek yogurt.

Nocturnal eating is a syndrome. Visit your doctor, he may have something that will help. Blessings!

You look fabulous ! You are a real inspiration. I know that being without internet, and losing your connection , and support from MFP must have been bad. One day , I too, I want to get to where I have less to lose than what I have lost. Best Wishes ! :flowerforyou:

Welcome! I have been here a month and love it.

Thanks for sharing. I was just thinking about finding something clear and delish.

Hey! I am kind of new too and need some friends. Lets cheer each other on to getting to our goal. Lets be slim and purdy. Ha! Very nice job on your wt. loss so far. What are you doing? What ever it is , it is working great.

Hey ! I just read your post and I would love to be friends with you too. Okay? I just started around the first of Oct. I could not seem to get going until Oct 17. I have just celebrated my first month anniversary with 8 pound wt. loss. Yea me! I just use my food diary and watch my carbs, sugars, and fats. I walk the…

I just love to hear the truth. The way that you said it was so candid. For me, I have found that I do better to enjoy that treat in moderation. I have noticed that it actually kicks up my metabo with those extra calories by confusing it. I feel good having my treat, and I am more happy when I see some wt. drop in a couple…

Look at carbs. and sugar in corn. An idea is stir fry veggies. Also, a apple here and there is good.

Hi ! My sister had GBP surgery and was at 243 and now is at 120. It has been about 4 or 5 yrs. It took her a little less than a year to lose 100 pounds. I want to congratulate you for taking the steps to improve your life in the long run. You would have had some bad health problems had you not. I am a retired nurse and…

My husband is slim and loves buffets too. The way I do it is to go for the veggies. I also eat fish or shrimp as it is lower in calories. I eat fruit & Jello with a little bit of cottage cheese for desert. Keep track of what you eat and how much. I do have a lot of will power most of the time. If you don't , you had best…

You look gorgeous !!!!!! Congratulations. I lost a lot of weight one time and went from like 125 down to 100 pounds. Every body was calling me anorexic. OMG!!! How stupid. Sometimes people just want to pick on you like birds pecking. Ignore it, and go on looking fantastic.

I have not tried a hypnotist to quit smoking. What I did that worked was the patch. Cost is no more than the cigs you are smoking and there is a commitment. It was much easier than I thought. I have been smoke free for 2 months now. I am so happy now !! I just wish I had done it sooner. ::bigsmile:

Drink coffee between meals to dull appetite, or eat a spoon full of peanut butter.

If you like celery ? Put a little peanut butter on it, or chicken salad or tuna, Or, just chew on celery sticks.

:glasses: Hey, I am new here and I could use some support too. You can add me too.
