I'm looking for some friends for this journey as well. I'm 55, have lost 16 lbs and been on my fitness pal for a little over 100 days. I like to exercise but have physical limitations so can't just do whatever I want like I could when I was younger. I also love sugar. Waayyyy to much. My goal is to lose another 25 lbs and…

I've had plantar faciitis for 10 years. Ugh. At one point it was so bad I couldn't walk. And I love to be active. Here's what works for me. Always wear shoes with good arches. I never go barefoot. If a shoe doesn't have a good footbed use an orthotic. I like Superfeet but you need to find what works for you. I ice the…

Lots of good advice thanks. I do exercise daily. Walking my dogs when I get home is my way to destress. I was low in vitamin D a couple years ago and have slacked off on the vitamins the last few months. I don't deprive myself of any food group. If I'm really craving sweets I'll have something. I can't do the whole "I'm…

Move more! I go for a walk during my 15 min break at work and when I use the restroom I go to the farthest one from my office. Walk my dogs every day after work. Take weight lifting class on weekends. Switched from low fat to regular foods like yogurt. When I crave chocolate have one piece of dark. Very satisfying. Watch…

Tru dat. It's not about me being hungry. I'm just snacky. :smile: But I've gotten a lot of good ideas!!

Awesome. Thanks. It's good to know that you broke the habit. I am going to start brushing my teeth in the evening.

Yummmmmmmm

Which would work, it I haven't eaten about 1400 calories before snack attack sets in. When I go over, it's usually by about 200 to 300 calories. Since I"m eating close to my total calories burned a day, it's usually too much.

Sigh, too true.

Thanks. :huh:

:)

Yeah, I do weigh them out, and yes, it's a small portion!

I like the idea of a snack drawer for my husband. I but the majority of the food, but he will but chips and crackers. His diet is horrible.

1999 BMW 528i 215,000 miles. This car is sooooo comfortable, but gas is so high in California that we bought a 2008 Honda Fit with 46,000 miles.

Seriously. My whole figure has changed since menopause. I used to be pear shaped, now I'm an apple. The most annoying thing is keeping my pants up with no waist. Suspenders anyone?

I just turned 50. Was on myfitness for a few months last year and recently started again. I would like a few friends.

Don't starve yourself. Remember this isn't just about losing weight, it's about finding a life style that works for you. I suggest you eat at least a portion of your exercise calories. Do what you need to do to feel comfortable on a daily basis. I tell myself this isn't a sprint, it's a marathon.

It sounds like you are doing a sculpting class. I've been taking "pump" classes for many years now and I love them. I can only go twice a week and it does take a long time to move up because we usually do lots of reps with a lighter weight. I bought some hand weights and stared lifting at home once a week. I used heavier…

Shawn Connery, for all you youngin's he's from Scottland, has that amazing acccent, and he played 007 about 20 years ago...

You look so much younger! Like 10 years!! Fabulous.

Popchips!! You can find them in many flavors in the grocery store.:smile:

I shell them, heat them up in the microwave and add a little salt. Yummm.

I've been dealing with acid reflux for a loooooong time. I'm on medication, but started having heartburn in spite of the meds. Saw my doctor, he mentioned that eating more vegtable could help. Well, sure enough, I started eating more vegtables and my heartburn went away. If I have a few days with low or no veggies, it…

Get a second opinion, if that doesn't work, get a third or fourth or fifth opinion. You need to speak up and tell you doctor that you are not satisfied with the care you are getting. You want them to be more aggressive in finding out the cause of your pain and treating it. Doctors are very busy and over worked, like most…

I train so I can do the things I enjoy; hiking, horseback riding, biking. I train because it is an amazing fountain of youth; and I have seen how vital being in shape is when you are older. My father died of cancer last year at 74. He was in shape and it carried him a long way before the cancer finally took him. Even when…

Sounds like you may need a new bike. you can get stationary bikes pretty cheap on craigslist or from garage sales. I picked on up for $20. You might also try used sporting goods stores. There's almost no reason to stay with a bike that hurts you.

I get up at 4:45 four days a week to go to cardio and weight lifting classes at my gym before work. I go to bed by 9pm. Sometimes it's hard getting up, but I love getting my workout done and over in the morning. I'm not a big fan of deprivation, I enjoy my food, so I need regular exercise to keep me on track. In addition,…

Thanks!!

What recipe do you use for the breakfast cookies?
