Ack! I lost the post I had typed here - I'll retype it later today. sorry.......

Blugal, I appreciate the input. Those do not apply to me. I don't eat much more than 1200 calories when I'm not of a diet:) and I'm reasonably active - ride, bike, hike, a lot of farm work (we bale hay and the stackwagon is broken). In my fit, thin days (most of my life) that wasn't true but when I thought I was eating a…

Down another 5 percent but my goal is 10 percent per week. If I said how few pounds that is, I'd cry. lol - percents work so much better for me. That's a total of 10 percent weight loss (10 percent of the total amount that I want to lose), However, the problem is that it is slowing down and is not reflective of the low…

I had seen hre mentioned on COTH. I'll be interested in hearing how it works for you.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions. I have been working on certain stretches that have been effective in the past. I will work through the list of everything you all have said and appreciate it - will probably just print the thread. I really need to get to work and will report back. When this gets under control, I have…

The New York City Ballet workouts are on youtube.

I'm here obviously lol - pop on everytime I go by my computer LOL. I needed a bit of a push to get going, my start button was frozen. This and the fb group has helped me start. I'm pretty solid now, but now I how easy it is for a "solid" to melt. Thanks to everyone here! I hope the group continues.

Hi Razzarez. It's probably not a bad thing to be allergic to artificial sweeteners. It surprises me that true stevia falls into that category, and that's very interesting. I think everyone's metabolisms and bodies are so different that I never speculate on what other people do. I know for most of my life I could eat pretty…

IIt's interesting. I used to hand out at a small local supplement and vitamin store when my kids were in Karate. I got to know the owners very well, and the man was really quite knowledgeable. He recommended stevia so many years ago. I have tried it and tried it and tried it. I do not like it. That is too sweet for me…

Oh, I so agree with you on the pasta sauces. My sil uses the Prego, and I was really shocked when I first tasted it. For the most part, I do not like sweet taste in my savory foods, but I do love sweets.

I'll do this. I'll have to get my baseline.

You could do a "first one to lose 10 pounds" wins. I'm down one. :) Then, either that person is out until the next round while the others finish which will start on a certain date. Then it resets where you are for the second round. Something like that, just a preliminary thought

I think it may be a good idea for some people who want to - sort of a "whatever works" idea and I can see that being motivational. I think, for myself, I have some pretty aggressive goals so I like the idea of a pass-fail on my goals - maybe a A,B,C,D,F scale rather than pass-fail :) I don't agree that losing weight fast,…

I'm Coyoteco on COTH. I was always thin. Each time I had a kid, I'd gain a lot and lose it. Then one day I started gaining unexplicably. I went to the doctor and explained my symptoms, unexplained weight gain, loss of muscle tone, loss of flexibility, fatigue. She refused to believe me. She had never been competent. (Yeah,…
