  • I started this and ran into that problem all the time. I told my sister about not making 1200 a day and she was stunned because she has a very healthy eating lifestyle. I am adjusting, but if I eat the healthy stuff I really want, I'm under and in starvation mode. I am finding that I'm losing the weight the closer I stay…

  • Thank you Molly! I walk my dog every day and I am excited about being able to walk farther and farther. I went to a low impact exercise session and we each came home with a jump rope. I guess I need to USE it! Susan

  • I've taken deep water aerobics and we move all the time. All you need to stay above water is a noodle. Straddle it and go to town racing moving both arms and legs like you are running at full speed! Don't forget the stretches in shallower water...you always need to stretch!

  • I just did this the other day: Extra Virgin olive oil, rosemary, grated onion, and orange zest and then grill. It smelled wonderful as well as tasting good.

  • Hi! I was going to ask the same thing. I have to have a high fiber diet, but I have gone a little crazy trying to get the protein level right each day. I'm glad to know the answer!

  • Plateaus happen. It stinks, but it's a reality. Shake things up a little. More water is good. It's REALLY hard for me to drink the amount we are supposed to, so I'm trying to increase gradually. Change up some of the food and exercise. Surprise your body and brain! :drinker: (here's us drinking more water! Good luck and…

  • If not this party, then the next one offer to bring a bowl of fresh fruit or a plate of raw veggies. My office became a "candy-free" zone in January because we had gone crazy with no stops from Easter last year right through Christmas. We now have a bowl of mixed nuts and a bowl of raisins to snack on. Believe it or not,…

  • Thank you 623Hernandez! I'm excited to be here. I love your reward system! I have an immediate goal of a family member's wedding in 2 months, a longer goal of a family member's wedding next year, and the permanent goal of a lifestyle change. I think the food diary is a little scary too, but it makes you think and it's fun…

  • Hi Sandra! Thanks for the welcome! It's day 3 and I realized I should see if anyone responded to me. Good grief! Anyway, right now I walk my dog, Molly. She's part pointer part collie so she keeps me moving at a good clip. I belong to the Y and need to get back in the habit of going. Then a co-worker and I have some low…
