Don't wear a bathing suit anymore. HATE what I look like now in one. Haven't been in a bikini in 34 years. Before I got pregnant for my first son. Was 99 pounds then. Having babies changed my metabolism.

Jvc9950, please take it from someone that has been at her job for almost 30 years. Get out while you CAN! I have been here too long and would lose too much to leave (vacation time, pay, etc.) and I absolutely hate working here. I am on anti-anixiety medication because of it. A good amount of people I work with and work for…

I am 54 years old and have 6 grandchildren. When I got married the first time, I weighed only 99 pounds. I am basically a newleywed now because I have only been married 3-1/2 years to a guy I have known since I was 6 years old. We grew up in the same neighborhood and went to school together from 1st grade all the way to…

WTG!

5 pounds down and I have a LONG ways to go.

Whole wheat toast with a little peanut butter is good too. Gives you the protein.

Me too but it isn't my wedding. My son's wedding in July and my niece's wedding in June.

I take it you mean when we are doing good and following the good eating plan to lose weight because I look at all these foods and wonder why anyone is overweight. They are all healthy foods. I have my 10 that I eat when I am being good and my 10 that I eat when I am being bad. Of course, I feel much better when I eat the…

All of the above. Plus I'm very stubborn. Last night when I made myself a snack that I shouldn't have had, my husband made a comment that I should have eaten enough for supper so that I wouldn't be hungry later. That made me angry and more determined to have the high calorie snack.

This is a GREAT idea! Wish I had thought of it.

It is always your choice. Skip dinner and be at goal or miss dinner and suffer through it. I unfortunately go over my goal often. I need to cut out the night time snacks. You could try having a salad with greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. and maybe a little chicken for some protein. That way you wouldn't go too much over.

You did say no hate mail. If people can't talk nice, they shouldn't say anything at all. I've never used it and I'm hoping that it works for you. I agree that overeating and obesity is a desease. My own addiction is sweets. Keep us updated on how you do and I really hope all goes well for you.

Yes you CAN! Welcome. :flowerforyou:

NEVER do I want to add any more weight then necessary and so ALWAYS naked.:blushing:

Be the Turtle not the Hare!:flowerforyou:

Definitely stay away! May have looked cute and all but anyone that sniffs the seat is someone you need to stay away from. He even could be dangerous!::noway:

I'm 5'2 and need to lose 30 - 65 lbs. I have lost 4 pounds so far.

bhall, I thought I was the only one that did that. Thank you!

Down 3.5.:blushing:

Funny I was just thinking before I found your post that if I could just stay on MFP all day long, I would lose the weight because it is such great motivation for not eating.:flowerforyou:

All sorts of things could happen. Especially since you are a woman, hormonal changes happen and so I find that once a month I can depend on not losing weight and most likely gaining that week. Also, something you ate may have had more salt content which would raise your water level. I have also found things such as if I…

Me too. I need to lose a whole lot more then 30 pounds but that is a good start. I'm trying to do it in 10 pound increments. So my first challenge to myself is that 10 pounds and the ultimate challenge will be the 30 pounds. That will actually be perfect for this year. Been trying for years and I just keep going up.

Must be the day for beginning and beginning again. The weather is beautiful in Massachusetts and that helped me to finally get off my butt and start walking. I am 54 years old and I am determined to do it this time. I have two weddings to go to this summer and one of them is for my son. Don't want to walk into that wedding…

I needed this cake site about 1/2 hour ago when I couldn't pass up the cake in the office any longer. It has been sitting there all day looking at me.

I agree with you. I think if you try to watch everything, then it is stressful and you will end up quitting. Calories only for me.

I agree with you Lizzie. Everything in moderation. I'm counting calories too.

Hi Newbie: I'm really depending on this site. I'm 54 and have tried diets to just gain all the weight back plus more. However, I remember, when my children were young and I was younger, :-), there was a time that I counted calories and I lost weight and kept it off. So, I am truly believing in this site. What I like is…

I have the same issue and what even harder is that HE is the one that does the majority of our cooking. He is home all day and so it makes more sense for him to cook while I'm at work. I have to make sure that I fill my plate before he does because he ALWAYS over fills it. And I so wish he would exercise with me. It would…
