Hi my name is Eileen, I've been needing this! I haven't been able to do any type of exercise because of leg/foot injury-this is perfect for me. My abs are flabs! :) We can do this girls!

I'm 52 years old, 5' tall. Was happy and curvy at 135 for years. Got depressed and got up to 152. So...my goal is 132lbs. Last time I was at 132 my friends were worried about how thin I was getting. I look bad under 130. Seems weird when I see others at my height shooting for 110 or whatever. Goes to show that all our body…

Okay, I made the cakes tonight. I only used 1 1/2 Tbsp (4tsp) Splenda. I layered them with Cool Whip. My impression: good chocolate taste, satisfied my sweet tooth, texture was like a spongy cake. Not bad. I would make it again and pass on the recipe.

Just checked out the website and I'm going to do it, too. With knee/foot injury I havent done anything for 2 months!

I am going to make this tonight!

Just moved from the Methow Valley, in Winthrop Wa to Westport on the Pacific Ocean. Goodbye snow! I need more friends for inspiration.

LNS you lose again! Mwhaha. Me- 8

Me - 6 LNS - zero. Tiny little zero. HA! Zap!

ME - 5 LNS - 0 Crochet Blanket rows - 5

Brats is pronounced 'brots' and is a frank or sausage you eat in a bun (or not). Wish I had one right now! I had eggs for Easter breakfast, cadbury eggs at 210 cals. But it fit into my daily 1200 so it was my splurge. :) Got control over late night snacking for the first time ever, and am enjoying my new hobby. I always…

I did not snack again!! This accountability is working. I'm under points and finishing a blanket project. Me - 4 LNS - ZERO

Me - 3 LNS - 0

I. Am. Done. Eating. Today. Really, I mean it. I'm still under my calories, so this is when I stop. I'll let you know how I do.

Me- 2 Lns- 0 !!

DH and I are heading to the beach to watch the clammers this morning. The sun is actually shining again today! Hope everyone has a great Saturday! PS: Try storing the chickpeas in a paper bag to absorb the moisture.

Thanks for the group, I need accountability! I just started crocheting so that has been a help. Last night I was still hungry and had cals left so had 2 tbsp black beans. Not crunchy or sugary, but it was the 'are you really hungry' test? First night: me - 1 Lns- 0

Learned a lot at the crochet session yesterday, too bad I didn't burn any calories, but it was good for my brain. Usually we walk 3-5 miles together- oh how valuable to have a walking partner. We should be out there again soon! It's a grandma's job to crochet a blanket, so I'm fulfilling my duty :) Love getting to know you…

Good morning all! I read all the entries and am inspired for the day. I plan my food out in the morning, then I can tweak it before I eat myself into disaster. My daily goal is to eat min 20 g of fiber and low sodium. Still not exercising, but I walk all over the library at work. 8000 steps yesterday. My foot seems to be…

Happy April! I am really happy to find this group at the beginning of my journey. Thank you, Barbiecat! I live on the coast of Washington state and we are experiencing the wettest Spring on record. You can imagine how wet that would be! I am 52 (how did that happen?) and work in a library. I love my job-low stress, great…

Hi Joi, I'm Eileen. I'm still in my first week. I'm 52 with 2 sons and 1 granddaughter who is 2 months old. I live in Washington state and work in a library. I'm 5' 1/2" with 20 lbs to lose. I'm looking for friends, too. Good luck on your journey!

I'm 5' and 1/2". That 1/2" matters. I'm 52 and feel dumpy. Time to drop 20lbs. Again.
