How are you doing with your steps?

I walk for exercise. I do think Pilates is much better for building your core. I read the article and it makes sense. Since I am limited on calories, I choose organic whenever possible and only use glass containers to store my food. I believe as an older adult, I’m worth the extra cost for these items. I am not a big meat…

I'm sorry I've been absent. I had knee surgery and am still recovering. Would anyone like to share words of wisdom to get back on track? I would love to hear your stories.

I just wanted you to know I tried one of those bars. All I can say is delicious! I hope the new year has gotten off to a great start for you.

Sounds yummy! Happy New Year!

What is a Kind bar? Please share the recipe. I am intrigued.

Great news and quite an accomplishment!

Thanks, I may give it a try before my knee surgery. I would like to shed a couple of pounds before going under the knife.

What detox diet did you use?

Yay! Way to go.

Goodness I am having a time typing tonight...slippery slope. This Apple autocorrect is annoying sometimes.

I meant it is a "slier slope,"...

My husband just bought some Planters Holiday edition nuts. I am having the exact same problem. I flat out told him to keep it out of my sight. It is a sexy sle for me so I don't want any of it. Trust me, get rid of it. It isn't good for you. Give it away or throw it away. The cost of the candy is far less than the cost to…

Welcome Danielle and Karen! I'm sure you will find this group very helpful. It is good to hear others fighting through the challengers and actually succeeding. We need to stay motivated and focused and moving forward towards the best version of ourselves!

We are off to a great start with this group. I love our positive can do attitude in the face of our age related issues! I hope sharing our stories will help us all feel more sane about what is going on with our bodies. We need to keep moving forward towards better health. In this vain, I challenge all of you to invite your…

Dear Phyllb, thank you for sharing. I'm certain many of us share similar stories. This is the conundrum. We want to eat right and stay active but, injuries sometimes prevent it. And, because we have a slow metabolism exercise is crucial to losing weight. I have started riding my bike a few minutes a day. At 1200 calories,…

I have lots of those challenging days. I still track the food even if the bottom line hurts. There is no sense in pretending it didn't happen. I just forgive myself and try to do better the next time. I did find what works very well for me. I track a few days of meals in advance. I also have a few combination snacks I roll…

I agree many in our age group face good old fashioned every day age specific issues. Many of these issues have nothing to do with our life choices. Sometimes it is just genetics or worn out bone tissue and medications. All of these things can make losing weight more difficult but, not impossible. I hope by sharing our…
