Amazing and you look wonderful.!!:flowerforyou:

Don't be so hard on yourself - we all have been there at one time or another. Right now, I'm up almost 4 lbs. since Thanksgiving and I'm not liking it at all. I have to stay away from the candy and cookies I made (for others) and the ice cream my husband so thoughtfully bought me for my birthday. No he didn't just buy an…

Too much fiber will get me bloated with gas, a lot. Have to watch it carefully. I think changing eating habits and eating healthier sometimes is the cause. Our tummys are not used to good food. Hope it goes away for you. I still have problems once in a while.

I went for almost a year about 2 yrs. ago. Had to drop out due to a back injury (not caused by Curves). Would love to go back someday - maybe next year.

This post is exactly right!!

I'm 5'3", 72 years old, currently 155 lbs. I wear a size 16W because I have a tummy that I've had all my life and can't seem to get rid of it no matter what I do, but I'm happy with my weight loss. Started at 188 lbs and now down to 155 lbs and shooting for 150 lbs. Then I'm going to just maintain.:happy:

Everything in moderation - I don't deprive myself of my favorite holiday foods. One way to curb eating is to have something from home that is filling and drink some water before you go to any gathering. This helps fill you up so you don't tend to eat more. It also takes a lot of will power. Hoping the best for you during…

I can't drink black coffee, I've tried it and hate it. My creamer is my indulgence and I make sure I count it every day. :drinker:

I think you are quite a Success Story - 92 lbs. now that is something to crow about. Let us hear your story, your journey and your pictures. You have done good in my eyes. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I''m 5'3", 72 years old and female. I started MFP a long, long time ago and have had success as I went along the way. I started out at 188 lbs., now down to 154, but it has taken me a long time to get there. I'm good a checking in every day when I'm not on vacation and try to keep my calorie count to 1200+ a day. I do get…

I Put my TV on the Country Western Music channel and dance away by myself. When the music slows down, I cool down, and then get right back it. Of course, you have to like country music, which I do. But any kind of music will do, and its almost free.

You can lose weight without exercise - however read the article about losing weight on the Mayo Clinic website. It has a lot of good information. If you can't exercise, at least you can move your arms and legs and walking is part of moving. I can't do too many strenuous exercises either, but walking is the best thing for…

Goes to show you that your healthy eating and exercise has paid off - you can really see the difference in the two pictures. Happy for you!!:flowerforyou:

I don't like water plain either. I use stuff like crystal light, hawaiian punch packets, etc. I know they are probably not so good for you but this is the only way I can get the water down. Good Luck in finding something that works for you.:flowerforyou: :drinker:

Don't worry about the natural sugar in fruits, that is perfectly okay. It is the added sugars to foods that you need to watch out for. I have trouble keeping sugar under control, but I don't worry about it all that much. I do watch my sodium though because I have high blood pressure and the Dr. told me years ago to lose…

I have one and haven't used it all that much. Getting it out tomorrow and going to do some cooking up of chicken breasts and some veggies. Putting it on some brown rice and hope I have a filling meal. Thanks for the tips and for reminding me of the easy way to cook, especially in the summer.:flowerforyou: :drinker:

I quit cold turkey about 25 years ago when there was nothing to help you but the nicotine gum which I tried and didn't like. If you want it bad enough, you will lay them down and never look back. It is not easy by any means, but after about three days, it gets easier as that nasty stuff works its way out of your system.…

This sounds good. Do you get espresso where??

There are several exercises for back pain on the Mayo Clinic website. Check it out, they might help.:cry:

I use one tbsp. of rea mayo with 1 tbsp light ranch salad dressing, mixed together. Cuts down a little bit and it tastes just as good I think.:drinker:

Goo to know as I consume WW candies once in a while. Thanks for sharing your information.:flowerforyou:

I've lost a cinder block and so glad to get rid of it!:drinker:
