Up until a 2010 June, i was Operations Manager for a small human service agency in PA. Then i had a heart attack and opted for a reduced job with the same company. Then middle management got cut after govt. funding cuts.... and now i work part time one on one with a client. Soon old enough to collect SS. Money is tighter…

Every day is a fresh start. Resolve to exercise a bit more tomottow to make up for it, if that will make you feel better.

Just got one of the upright ones..... handed off from my chiropractor.... for free... lucky me. I guess he thinks the upright style is good for an older woman like me

Hanging out my whole life here in Berks County. Lots of high carb, high fat good cooking in this part of the state. (sigh) so much yummy food i've had to give up. Potatoe filling, apple dumplings, AP cakes, ring bologna just to name a few. These are the things i think have been the most unhealthy for me, hardest to give…

That's exactly what i need to lose, and i have been trying for 6 months, or longer. Its hard to lose when your body is over 60. :ohwell:

If he is still your best friend, then be good with that. I never dated by best friend in school, because it just never occurred to us to date. We were best friends and did not want to interrupt that with dating, if you know what i mean. Well, after school, later on, we both married other people, and we hung out as couples,…

I am a 61 year old grandma, who is raising a special needs grandson, aged 10. I have two other wonderful grandkids ( the littlest also has needs). I have heart disease, and have had a heart attack two years ago and have a stent. I am about 40 pounds overweight. It is SO MUCH HARDER to lose since i passed 55 years. I try to…

I posted a "fat photo" of me on my refrigerator door, along with a "skinny" one from years ago. Along with the message: YOU did it before and you CAN DO it again!" Now maybe that will motivate me.

Edgy from prednisone, and flabby and disgusting, and old. maybe tomorrow will be better.

A few years ago i drove from Orlando FL to Reading PA, in two and a half days. The first day we drove from 8 am till 10 pm with stops only to grab a bite to eat and pee. the second day was more of the same, but we started out at 5 am and drove till 10 pm. by then i could not see straight. I was the only driver, I was about…

If I was you honey, and that was all i had to lose, i would be dancing a jig. I am over 60 and have 30 pounds to lose. "You look marvelous darling", dont fret about that little bump. Just enjoy life, it goes by so fast. (and i am still only 17 in my head - and you dont know that till its too late!)

OK, been there did that got the tee shirt. I am married now 30 years to the right person. on three separate occasions, we split up. we had grown apart, we had nothing in common, we were on the verve of splitting up permanently. He moved out completely one time, and his brothers wife called me and said she was glad, she…

definately my belly fat. it sticks out past my boobs, and that bothers me. its flabby and not at all nice. legs and butt is OK.

Wow, if you are 5'3" and wear a sixe 6 you must be pretty fit. You probably dont really need to lose.... i am 5'4" and 165 lbs, and wear a size 16! Not a happy, sweet 16 either. My hubby knows what i weigh, i guess i have complained about it over the last few years. my goal is 135, but i would be happy with 140, at age 60.

Do what makes you happy. Life is too short to worry about what other people are thinking. They are probably envious anyway..... just have fun!

Well, i would not do it myself.... i'm over the hill. :smile: However, as long as the poses are not too suggestive, and the "important parts" are covered, i dont mind. I dont have to look at it much if i dont like it. OR maybe they are looking for dates with someone else who is trying to lose weight. :wink: To each his…

i disappoint myself regularly--- every morning, naked, before i get into the shower. Rarely does it make me smile. I am under my calorie limit every day, exercise about 30 minutes a day, and still no loss for quite a while. I am beginning to hate that little message that always says, ""if you ate like this everyday, you…

I love Maeve Binchy! I am also addicted to those OLD time mystery stories. I got a nook for christmas, and downloaded for FREE, 1000 mystery stories by Agatha Christie, A C Doyle, Katherine Green, and many more.

OK, I do not like soda or pop, whatever you call it, diet or otherwise. However i do like diet iced tea, and have about one a day, and also one or two DD iced coffees a day. Thats my only REAL sugar. Otherwise, i drink water. I dont really like it, but i get thirsty for it. the more you drink the more you want. good clue…

My first one was in 1970, and i was 19. Back in those days (the sixties) you married after high school (parents would not let me to go college, that was just for boys, they said). It was too quick a marriage, and i divorced 12 years later. My second one I was 26. I had 13 foster kids at different times over the years. I am…

There is a gym i go to- i think its a "chain" and its called Planet Fittness. It advertises it self as a "Non judgemental Zone", and has "Lunk Alarms". There are very strict rules posted "if you are judging someone, or attract un-due attention to yourself by dropping weights, showing off, etc, you will be asked to leave".…

Either a tight 10 or a loose size 12, American sizing. For me that will be about 135- 138 pounds. I was there before, and still have my old jeans and khakis in my closet. Always hoping.....

I just switched back to splend and milk in my DD iced coffee..... i am also trying to drink more milk..... 1 % of course. I hate soda diet or otherwise... but i do like diet icy tea. Twice a day.

I do the emotional eating thing, when i come in the house after work and am a bit frustrated. Grrr... Also, i eat when i spend too much time in the kitchen, so for me getting out of the kitchen, or better yet out of the house works. When i am hungy on the way home from work i get the $1 menu yogurt at McD's, and a low fat…

I agree, you need some protein in the morning, fruit and oatmeal and carbs quickly burned away. try adding some greek yogurt to your breakfast..... the greek Oikos has 9 grams of protein. its delicious.

I'm 5'4" and weigh 165. He is 6'0" and weighs about 195. If it get to his weight i will be very disappointed. That 6 inches of tallness makesa big difference in BMI. I want to get to 135 or 140.

I read the Sherlock Holmes series on my Nook color a few weeks ago, on vacation. Now i am reading A Tale of Two Cities, and just finished up with David Copperfield. It was ****ens 200th anniversary, and i felt these were worth a read again. I havent read them since high school when they were reqiured 40 years ago. I am…

Loved the Holmes series..... and then there is the Father Brown mysteries, also very good reading.

Wow, size 7s going in the dryer!!! i cant wait till i fit my 12s again..... :o( I want to wear jeans, with a belt and tuck in my shirt, and have the 12s fit loosely, and be near fittin in 10s. By Summer, and then keep it off. I hope I can get there. All my clothes have been in the dryer, I dont have time for anything else.

Nope. He is 6 foot tall, and i am about 5'3' . he weighs about 190, and i am currently at 165. we are both 60, and its harder to lose when you are older, let me tell you!
