Hi both of you. I'm 71 and have not logged on since last year. Usually this program eats too much of my time. I'm 5'2 and working to loose weight in a healthy fashion. I was very active, rowing competitively, into my mid 60's. Two hip replacements and a dislocated shoulder have slowed me down. I have a non-profit…

I'm 70 and just had my right hip replaced in December. It was a great success and follows the replacement of my left hip in December of 2014. I have been an overweight athlete most of my life and have been up and down on the scales. With my second surgery, I had to keep looking back at my exercise diary to remind myself…

Would love to join. Smaller goals make sense!

Wow, that wagon must have lots of room in it. I know I made some space on it last year, Now I'm ready to get serious. I am going to focus more on exercise than food, but still track what I eat. In the 65-70 age group we forget we need less food and we need to keep moving. My big goal this year is to row at the Master's…

It's a great day to start shredding. 30 minutes of house chores this morning and a walking lunch is all I can manage today. Please tell me more about this Shred thing. What counts etc.

Hi all, Not much time to post. Went to Dallas for the Komen Summit from Wed last week thru Sat and then a visit with my cousin on Sun and Mon. My hotel was about a mile from the conference site so I got in a good brisk walk each morning. The food served was pretty healthy, a little heavy on the salt, and very generous…

Hi all, My weekend was sure crazy trying to get ready for my flight to Dallas on Wed. Sure hope the weather there is good. I'm looking for a little vitamin D. Saturday I squeezed in an hour walk with my crazy lab, the went to a meeting and worked on my computer getting ready for the trip. We had dinner with friends at…

Thanks, I've been looking for ways to use this. Doc recommends but doesn't have recipies. What kind of beans do you use?

Hi all, Lots of testing with the docs and my numbers aren't good. I'm sure I'll be on statins for at least a while. I'm hoping to speed that and treatment for high bloodpressure by making more changes to my diet. Both DH and I have a new doctor and boy is she full of questions. Big issue for me is dropping the wine with…

Think portion control. When I am eating in unfamiliar territory I try to start by not being hungry. Then I can eat like a bird, a bite of this and a sip of that. Then I can honestly tell the hostess how much I love her cooking without pretending AND be able to shrug off the self criticism. Maybe add in some extra exercise…

Glad to see so many people succeeding on lowering that cholesterol with diet. New doc will likely want me on statins as my life has changed significantly in the last 2 years; +20 lbs, high stress, low exercise..... I'll be visiting here again.

Hi all! Can't resist coming back on a day when I can log another pound shed:blushing: I love reading your posts and identifying with some and agreeing with some. I too feel better when I exercise. It does reduce my stress levels and boy do they need reducing. Started Physical Therapy yesterday for an old shoulder injury…

I've been awfully busy and keeping up with this is hard. Sometimes I just have to "post" in my head until I have time to enter on this website. Numbers are 2 steps forward and 1 and half back, but at least I'm headed in the right direction. Happy Monday everyone.

Sorry you are facing potential for major surgery. Remember there are lots of us out here rooting for you if that happens. Don't hesitate to keep us updated.:heart:

Last message didn't post. Oh well! What weekend? So jammed I need to go back to work to rest. Will continue dog/sister walks and am going to try a Barre3 class Sunday morning. It is a combination of Yoga and Pilates with a ballet barre. Hope I can walk when we are done. DH wants to go to auto show. Old red wagon is getting…

22 for me:tongue:

20 as of this morning. Not so rainy makes it nicer to be outdoors before sitting behind a desk with no windows for my workday.:happy:

Hey Terri, I've done WW as well. Now my budget won't allow, but I think this can work just as well. The trick is to keep up the daily food and exercise logs. Don't worry about the pounds...they will go away slowly. Mainly focus on taking good care of yourself, both physically and mentally. If you can find a physical…

Congratulations Virginia. :glasses: Twin sister and I celebrated our 66th birthday on MLK day and toasted the Social Security Admin. Both of us are still working full time but that extra can pay down debts so we really can retire. Yippee! Re Heart Rate Monitor; I have used a polar monitor for several years and now my DH is…

17 for this month so far. This really helps keep me motivated. Pushed the pace on this mornings walk with Looney Lucy the Labradork.:bigsmile:

Just when I start to think I had a hard day yesterday, I read about heart attacks, pneumonia and strokes affecting the lives of others. Furnaces never go out at a convenient time, and illnesses seem to wait for our most stressed days. Here's wishing you all strength and some sun breaks as we say here in the wet Northewest.…

Can't cheer the rain too much myself today. I was called home from work at 9:30 to hold back water from coming into our house while DH set up garden hoses from the dry well to drain off the overflow. After 8 hoses and 2 sump pumps at 11am we took a break as the rain had diminished. By 12 after changing to dry clothes and…

17 Went home from work and danced through dinner prep to Zydeco music :laugh: Did 30 min on rowing machine this morning and plan about 2 hours of warehouse work today.:tongue:

Since I'm doing this from work, I can take time to read your posts, but not comment on all of them You are all such and encouraging and hopeful group. I enjoy your updates and use them for inspiration myself. The lack of whining keeps it all positive. Found this site after leaving WW due to finances and I wasn't checking…

16 so far. Winter drearies making exercise not so fun. Time to put on the dance music.

14 Sticking with it even if I can't post every day. Turned 66 yesterday. Want to feel like 56.

Hey Susan, Try reading instead of watching TV. It truely is more interactive and the food calling from the fridge has to shout much louder. Good luck!

Yes Brad's book is Assault on Lake Cassitas. I have an autographed copy. Met him at a national event. What a pleasant person. Treated this short old matron like a fellow athlete. Libraries sometimes do exchanges an I know the book floats up in the second hand bookstores occassionally.
