Im over 50 and have lost 48 lbs since august, I track track track , every bite even a piece of candy, its amazing how you will see where the wholes in your thinking about what your are doing are. Every choice matters, whether to move or not to move today, no one will know I didn't track that bite, be honest brutally honest…

Hi Anna, it is a journey of daily struggle as you learn to trust yourself to commit to your healthy future. Each time we bounce we learn something new. Its not a failure its a teachable lesson. Take from it and encourage yourself to move to your healthiest future. I have been where you are and recently recommitted myself.…

both hands in air waving im in, not sure if its defeat or surrender lol, you are always such a source of encouragement so Im going to join you to encourage you, so for today im committing to 30 days of surrender

thank you, I have struggled with feeling alone on this journey, this will help me stay focused

awesome idea, just thinking of doing this has given me motivation

Happy Wednesday everyone, spent all day yesterday at drs, not liking some of the results but go see dr on august 7th will see, in the meantime ill just keep doing what I know to do and to be right for me. Walked 6.44 miles new trail this morning hard as heck, but I did it. Had to stop twice to breath due to asthma but so…

I too fear the weight loss, I wrote in my blog that my fear is also of the success of losing weight, what then? I feel this time is different for me as well and it is because I to am really facing myself and my fears and my inability to trust myself and my own decisions. I wrote about that on my blog as well. Each day that…

yes, I drive to where I walk its about 10-15 minutes away, when putting gas in my car it doesnt restart, you have to feather the gas pedal, once it starts it runs fine, it has confused the garage and the dealership, no one knows why , would love to have it fixed. If you dont feather it just enough it just stalls and wont…

Happy Thursday morning everyone, I've been MIA my hubby had to have pacemaker installed and he is fine all is good, we have just been following up with pacemaker clinic etc....... I have kept up my walking avg somewhere between 4-7 miles daily, no weight loss but hey no gain either........ LOL struggling a little bit to…

love it snoozie, thanks for sharing such positive encouraging thoughts, my prednisone got upped this week so I have been eating some bad choices, but it doesnt make me a bad person. I have tried to teach my girls, in everything look for the good .... so I ate a cupcake it tasted good and you know what I moved a little…

im turning 50 in Oct. on may 8th doctor told me I have steroid induced diabeties, I told her to quit cussing like that , I didnt allow that language to be used around me. two months later I am walking on avg 4 miles a day and Ive lost 22lbs, I have severe asthma and allergies, Ive been on prednisone , well i cant ever…

try logging out and logging back in

thanks everyone, as always great advice, I appreciate the help and will talk with her tommrow about going to the specialist, cant hurt since I also have thyroid issues. wishing everyone an awesome low blood sugar day.

I have had thryoid issues for years diagnosed as a teen, my three girls also have it. Take your med same time every day, makes a difference, as it balances the headaches should subside, limit your caffiene that helped me with the headaches, also increase water if your not drinking enough that helped me as well. see a…

you look awesome. So excited for you and your progress is an inspiration to others

all of your answers are so inspiring, I am so new at this (two weeks old) that I am starving for information. I have found more help here on this board then from my Dr. Just wanted to say thank you for sharing what you have learned. Experience is wisdom.

you are talking to the stall queen, geeze took me forever to figure the friction zone , then i rode my daughters bike and stalled her bike at every traffic light and stop sign, she has a yamaha and I have a fatboy, I learned every bikes friction zone is a little bit different, mine is so much easier then hers, I did…

keep up the good work, so excited for you

thanks everyone, for all the help, my dr didnt give me much info and Ive only been at this for two weeks now, it helped me to feel better and Im trying to locate a nutritionist to meet with to learn more I appreciate everyones help

you mean life is possible without rubbing thighs and drooping boobs? who knew? LOL I nursed four kids no hope for me there, but working on the thighs

Glad you enjoyed it and had a safe journey keep riding

Dr told me to limit carbs to 45 per meal , and 15-30 per snack eat three meals and two snacks a day try to eat every 3 hours something, and to walk, so Ive been walking two miles a day, and she also put me on metformin 500 mg twice a day

awesome keep at it

Modular and only Modular for me, only helmet I will use, when I ride two up with hubby, I can drink my coffee, when riding alone and its hot its up, im not feeling confined or like I get breath, I always drop the face shield if riding on highway but about town I tend to keep it open. Just got a pretty black and pink…

my first long ride was from Ga to Conn about three months after getting my licence and finishing riding School, I was scared out of my mind, made it all the way to conn pulled into my brothers driveway and almost dropped my bike. I refused to let it lay down , because i hadnt just driving 1200 miles to lay it down. LOL…

thanks again I feel so much better just reading everyone's answers, On the bikes I ride the fatboy and my hubby rides the blue ultra classic.

thank you both, I am determined to win this war, I appreciate all the advice and how you both broke it down, my Doctor only told me to test two hours after eating twice a day, I didnt realize i could test to see the number and how what i eat affects that number, good to know, I am also a research hound so I will figure…

Good Morning, my name is Sheila, I live in Ga and have four kiddos, one grand baby and one on the way. My hubby has always ridden since he was a child started on a dirt bike, I rode two up with him for 20 plus years and now have my own ride. I ride a 2002 fatboy which is lowered , I am short. I still enjoy riding two up…
