Good morning 40+ club, Well I finally did it, I made an appointment in a couple of weeks for a complete check -up with my Dr. I've been putting it off for a long time now. I'm afraid at age 51 things might start going wrong, i've always been pretty healthy, knock on wood, so far. I'm also afraid of the dreaded colonoscopy…

I've been guessing my portion sizes also, and it's not easy to do. This weekend I'm going to go and buy a scale!

Hello, I'm fairly new to mfp and I would really like to join this 40+ club. My name is Pam and I'm 51. My goal here is to lose 30 lbs and I've already lost 10. I have gained and lost weight in the past but it seems to be easier to gain and harder to lose these days. It would be nice to have the support of the 40+ club, and…

My boyfriend tried them and they did NOTHING, nothing at all. IMO they are a waste of money.

I have known a couple of people that followed the atkins diet and they lost a ton of weight but as soon as they went off the diet they gained it all back plus a whole lot more. Sorry, but I don't think it is a good idea and bound to cause health issues down the road. Like the others said, moderation and exercise is the…

I so agree with leckel, "". I think you can have success in whatever you chose to do, if you stick to it and make lifestyle changes.""" I tried weight watchers years ago and it worked great. The great thing about it is that it is a learning process and once you learn it you will never forget it, I think it's a great…

Maybe it isn't the caffeine that you are having the withdraws from. Try regular coke for a few days and see what happens? Then try regular sprite, not diet.... then go to water,, slowly.... Seems to me that any drink that you can get addicted too (((can't be good))).

My boyfriend was a diet coke freak. It was the first thing he drank in the morning, and he drank it all day long, he was addicted for many years. He started having burning feelings in his joints, and shooting pains in his legs. Anyway, long story short, I read up on Diet Coke and found that the "aspartame" that is in it…

Thank you for the help. I went back in and did an automatic recalculate but nothing changed, which really is fine with me. Hopefully I did it right. I have been exercising every day but I only have a goal of three days per week, I'm trying not to push it so hard that I hate it. This is such a great web site. Thanks for the…

Hello, I'm fairly new here and I have lost a total of 11 pounds. I have a message in my home page saying that they recomend recalculating your goals based on your new weight. I'm not sure what to do? Does this start you all over again? Do you lose your past menu's? Does it recalculate your daily calorie intake. I just feel…

(((Thank you))) Nessc. I think I've got it. Now I see that I should have gone to tech. help to do this, sorry,, new here. Thanks again. Pam

I'm going to ask a real dumb question. I'm not to swift on my computer and I'm wondering how do you cut and paste a ticker. I made the ticker but I don't know what to do from there? Thanks, Pam

Weight Watchers Giant Chocolate Fudge Ice Cream Bar's are really good. 110 calories 25 carbs 1 fat 4 protein.

Thank you very much, 3babybeans & Lauramg. I sort of messed up last night and had a few glasses of wine and ate chocolate cake. YIKES! Oh well,,, back on the tred mill today, I am not going to let myself get discouraged. I'm feeling good and I'm thinking if one week can make me feel good I wonder how I will feel in a…

Thank you, fullofjoy 720 & ttoombs. I would like to lose about 30 more pounds. I've been on my tred mill 30 - 45 minutes every day for the past 10 days, and have kept my calorie in- take down. Last Tuesday I showed a 6 pound drop on my scale but it hasn't budged since then, I'm trying very hard to not get discouraged.…

Hi, I'm new at this, I started charting here on myfitnesspal 10 days ago, when a friend recomended it to me. I'm so glad I found this place. In the short time that I have been here it's been a great help to me. I have lost 6 pounds so far. Pam
