This is a lifestyle change, not a diet. A shame you can't make healthy choices, and so what if you drink one or 2 glasses of wine, move on to the next day. No reason to deprive yourself of life and regret the chance to be with friends and family. Life is Short make the best of it. IMHO

so glad tomorrow is Friday. Day of my real job to do consulting at another Dr office. Going away this weekend for a girls weekend away, will try to be good will do a lot walking so that will help. Santa Barbara here we come. good luck ladies, this isn't a race. :)

So a question. I've lost 50 pounds and you'd think I'd know what I was doing but..... Can someone explain to me why I hear you can't count any water in your 8 cup count if you add anything to it? I understand no counting diet drinks and juices etc. but why does adding a flavor packet to it make it not count? [/quote] I…

Well had my grandson last nite, he is so funny. I had leftovers from my daughter's dinner with her dad. Tomorrow is a new week.

I was discouraged also, but I took my measurements and was surprised. The scale is not my friend. lol

well I had thai food for dinner, small amount of rice with chicken veg and baby corn and egglpant and chicken. Not sure the calories, but the company was good.

Sometimes we have to let our kids grow and make their mistakes and be there to pick up the pieces. Doesn't mean we don't love them, and we don't want what is best. Good Luck

marking my spot waiting for my massage

today was a pajama day, I ate light I think, made plans for a girls weekend away in a couple of weeks to Santa Barbara. Watching the Oscars, should have exercised but it is my pajama day. Waiting for my massage girl to get back to me about a massage this week. Lots of water today which is a good thing Good luck Ladies

Well scale moved down a little, today had lunch with my Best Friend from high school. We re connected about 5 years ago, and meet every couples of months for lunchl Today was mexican, I was good a salad with a cheese enchalda, the margarita will definately put me over im sure on calories. Now to drink my water

Happy Friday, I have had a busy week, yesterday my grandson was here when I got home from work, by time MOM got here we had a late dinner and wasn't a good choice dinner. But time with my grandson is worth falling of the wagon I will start over again today. Lots of restarts lately. Took day off of work to go and make some…

well I survived the baby shower, Im pretty sure I didnt go over calories, as I had one small sandwich and potato salad. The 2 or 3 or was it 4 small glasses of wine may have but oh well, this is my new grandaughter to be and we had a fun nice time. Was excited because my bff was there and I havent seen her in a few weeks,…

Isn't it amazing and scary that we have all this technology and depend on it so much, I always knew phone numbers and now zippo, I depend on my phone cause you locate who you want to call push a button and it dials...i don't know either one of my kids number by heart, I do know my DIL as her # is close to mine.

you look totally awesome! way to go I never wear sweaters cause they hug the body, great body :) Congrats

Happy Saturday :) It looks spring like here in Southern CA. Busy weekend, cousin's birthday tonite, baby shower tomorrow for my daughter in law. They are having a girl so all the things she saved from Grandson of course is all boy.The one good thing, is when she had Trevor, they didn't want to know the sex so she has lots…

I joined WW a few years back and I lost weight, my problem is why pay someone to weigh me? Here I feel I am more accountable, I log my food daily, even when I eat bad. Here you don't have to do the math to figure out your points, I know before 50 calories is about 1 pt, I knew how many points I need so I guesstamated my…

I so agree with the best thing about being older is grandchildren, My 3 yr old grandson makes me see things like I have never seen before, shower tomorrow for his little sister due In April.

Quote: Sherry, I am reading “Strong Women Stay Young” and “Strength Training for Women” because I don’t want to join a gym but I want some good workouts to do at home. Both books have some very good directions for things to do at home……I don’t have any goals of heavy lifting…… the books I’m reading talk about strength…

Happy Hump Day. My body is telling me I haven't been good about exercising this week, My back is starting to get stiff and I need to get that motivation, once I get home I need to change and JUST DO IT. I specifically didn't join a gym so I would be able to do this at home, so tonite is a new nite will do SOMETHING, be it…

good luck on the surgery you will be up and about in no time

Early Valentines with my friend. Dinner and a card. Nice evening

Happy Monday. Weekend went by too fast, dinner tonite with "my friend" so will try to make good choices. He too is trying to lose weight, so no alcohol with dinner. I got this quote in my email today: Just because you don't see results after a day or even a week, don't give up! You may not see changes, but every smart…

I look at the small goals, the 5 lbs first, exercising for more than 10 min at a time, baby steps, drink your water and move. Something I didn't do today move. Tomorrow is another day :) take your measurments and don't trust that darn scale, I was discouraged with the scale but I took my measurements and said WHAT? but the…

the one or two things I don't want to lose is my boobs, and I notice that I have had to move the back to next row or my straps start falling off my shoulder :sad:

I think that what you name your kids is between you and the dad. People will like it, some won't. To me it doesn't matter just remember they are stuck with it for LIFE> IMHO

Happy Sunday, Vypeters I will try that sounds like a good thing for drive to work. Had a fun nite with my 3yr old grandson, we watched movies, had popcorn, played cars and trucks. He spent the night and at least last nite did not hog Grammies bed. Yesterday meeting/interview may be more than I expected. May become a…

There is always time, I got my first and only tattoo when I turned 53. My birthday gift from my kids. on my ankle.

I agree, people would say you lost weight, I said Yes 275 lbs :) 25 lbs on me, 250 of him. Best thing ever :)

Hi I am Sherry. I am at my heaviest with good ol Menopause. I don't like the squareness of my body, or the stomach area. I am 57 and don't know how I let myself get like this. I guess in my head I am still 25 so I must still look 25 amazing how you can look in the mirror everyday and not see the real you. My goal is to be…

Happy Saturday, Weighed myself this morning, it went down 1.2 lbs plus measurements last nite something is working, why do we get so discouraged, like someone said we didn't gain this weight overnite why do we expect it to come off faster is it because we are watching the scale? When we are eating and happy we (well at…
