  • I measure out a tablespoon or two of hershey's special dark chocolate chips and nibble on them during the day. Sometimes, I mix almonds or walnuts with them. It seems to fill me up and satisfy my craving.

  • My DH has a Harley-Electra Glide touring bike...big, heavy bike. I don't drive it, but I know he gets a workout, especially with a rider. Just keeping it upright takes a lot of core muscle strength. Yes it's easy to drive he says, but you do get a core workout if nothing else while driving. I wouldn't count riding as a…

  • Thanks for the info and the link Warren. I've been decreasing my sodium intake and have been eating more fruits and veggies. I'll have to track it and see if I'm actually getting the daily required intake of potassium. I'm interested to see if it makes a difference in my BP. Interesting link. Thanks again:)

  • OK----this is REALLY scarey---look at our weight trackers!!!!!! Anyway, I'm 55 (in Aug), married 36+ yrs., 3 grown kids, one son-in-law, a perfect little grandson who's almost 2 and he's going to be a big brother in Dec. Sort of retired-I take care of him everyday-his Mom's a teacher. He keeps me very busy, and I'm trying…

  • 30 Cookies...I checked out the site. Sounds just like the recipe for chocolate peanut butter no bakes except no butter or sugar and applesauce instead. Can't wait to try this!!

  • In 2007, the day after my 50th birthday, I had a breast reduction. So glad I did. I would never want to be that size again. Losing weight and gaining so many years really took it's toll and I had 3 kids. So I did it for pain relief because it hurt so much to exercise. One of the best decisions I ever made. Went from a 42…
    in Are there women out there who WANT smaller breasts? Comment by dawnmarie57 June 2012
  • For what it's worth, I'm 55 yrs old and struggled for years with this. Finally, in '07 I had reduction surgery because after years of yo-yoing up and down and hurting myself trying to exercise and get healthy, I decided enough was enough. Each time I lost weight, I would only lose maybe an inch or two from my band size-not…

    in Kicking pre-diabetes Comment by dawnmarie57 June 2012
  • I hope you're doing better. I agree with everyone else suggesting MRI's etc. When I first dislocated my shoulder 15 yrs . ago, I had tons of xrays, but no mri's. Did PT and everything I was told. And of course they gave me scripts for muscle relaxants and pain killers. I used them I think for about 5 days and said no more.…

  • It works for me. I usually don't do a "day" of it, just a meal and maybe a snack. Something that's really a treat-an ice cream (baby cone) or piece of candy. But I do track it. Keeps me on the right path. Good luck!
    in Does anyone have cheat days? Comment by dawnmarie57 June 2012
  • HA Catrina!!! You hit the nail on the head!!! Couldn't figure out why old people complained so much either and NOW I know. Keep your chin up and take it one day at a time. I know it's hard to be patient when all we want to do is get back in shape. It's annoying me that I can't do my usual Zumba video today, so I've got my…

  • Don't know about the physio, but I see a chiro regularly for 15 yrs. since a shoulder dislocation from a fall on ice. Been the P/T route 4 times and it works pretty good while I'm going, but ins. especially comp-only will pay for so many visits. My chiro keeps me so it's doable. If I was still going to the orthopedic and…
