:happy: I had to find this thread again to read what I wrote a little while back. I needed some motivation. I am struggling this week. My daughters who are home from college all like to bake. When it is just my husband and I, the temptations are much easier for me to manage. But my daughters who have had to eat from the…

Hello. My name is Tammi. I am from Ohio. I am a wife of 25 years and mother of three daughters 21, 19, 17 years old. I have a desk job as a bookkeeper at a chocolate factory. I started the New Directions Diet on 3/26/14. I started at 179.8 lbs and have so far lost 29 lbs. I have 16 lbs more before I make my goal weight. I…

Okay. Here are my goals. I am down to my last 16 lbs before I hit goal. 149 lbs - Finally in the 40's!! - :love: I will cash in a gift certificate someone gave me to get my nails done (I have NEVER had my nails done before!) 139 lbs - Finally in the 30's!! - :glasses: I will cash in a gift card someone gave to me for a…

Good idea, Karen. I will come up with some them post them! How fun! :wink:

Hello! :-)

This is what I am worried about. For me, it will be once I start eating real food, I don't know if I can control it.

Hi! I am new to this group. I am Tammi. :)

I have a YMCA membership and attend a class here and there of Shred (weights) and yoga. I was a runner before and found that I just could not keep up that same pace, so I run only one time per week with a much slower speed and walk a few days a week. I also like to bike with my family on Sunday afternoons. I found out this…

Oooo..I would like that! wonderwomantam@gmail.com Thanks! Tammi

Does anyone have any recommendations of what store to look for classy, stylish clothes for 40+'ers, especially for summer?

I am finding it hard also. Even more so that I have three teenaged daughters. Being out with them, beautiful, tall and stylish, can at times make me feel either like I am trying to dress like them, or look matronly. I have never been a fashion plate dresser, but I am a professional and want to look classy without looking…

Hi! I'm new to this group. I am 45, from Ohio and am one year away from the empty nest. I do love my daughters but I am also enjoying this new time taking care of myself. I have taken care of everyone else for so long, that I had neglected taking care of my own health. So here I am! I am working on being a "Fabulous" 40…

Hi! I'm 45 and am working on taking better care of myself, which includes losing the extra pounds. You (and any one else) can friend me if you like! I need all the encouragement I can get! We will encourage each other! :smile:

I'm on day day four. I am sticking to it so far. I really want others to share with me their ups and downs on this plan. Please feel free to friend me and we can cheer each other on!! Heaven knows I can use the support. :smile:

I am starting Aultman Weight Management which uses New Direction products. Took my tests and I will see the doctor in 1.5 weeks to get the results of my tests and begin the program. Anyone else doing this in OH?
