I'm in Michigan too and I'm over 50. Sending a friend request.

Be strong!

Thank you! That helps.

Okay, I din't read all the replies. In these situations I want to say "I would rather have my fat than your manners" but then I chicken out...

I never though of smoked salmon. What a great idea. All of these ideas are great.
-
Thanks for the ideas, yes there is a fridge but I have been bringing a cooler with me as sometimes people raid the fridge for anything that looks good. Your ideas work for the cooler.

Hummm, you are all correct. I'm going to have to rethink the low fat part of the equation. Many thanks for your suggestions.

Non - diet suggestions: talk to your doctor and get your thyroid and iron level checked, also, ask about whether vitamins will help you feel less tired. I recently purchased a small, portable happy light and I sit in front of it every day for 15 minutes to a half an hour. I have been feeling a bit happier since I got it.…

Sign up for a 5 K race in October. Once you have paid the fee you will be committed.

Give yourself a manicure.

I just started listening to her AND I am working through her book.

That feeling is totally normal. You might want to invest in a pair of bike shorts because the seat area is padded. Also a good seat helps a lot. Take a look at the guys in the Tour de France - they all have padded shorts.

Slow cook it all day with a pork roast.

I love stir fried veggies - I make a big batch at the beginning of the week. You can heat it and then put soy sauce on it. So it won't smell so much. I use pea pods, red peppers, mushrooms, and carrot shreds. Sometimes I put chicken in with it. Another thing is roast potatos, sweet potatos and carrots. You could put onions…

just what I needed to hear today.

It's an unfortunate fact that we can't change another person. We can only change ourselves. You might want to consider seeing a counselor about the problem. Eventually you will need to come to a decision about the state of the relationship. You will have to either accept things the way they are, or you will need to…

I want to know too!

I'm in!

I thought she was lip-syncing - either that or the sound and picture weren't together.

Sorry we don't measure up to your standards of perfection.

I'm Deb and I'm 59. It's hard to believe I'll be 60 next summer. I live in Michigan. I am around 40 pounds overweight. Ideally I want to lose about a pound a week but I'll take a pound every 2 weeks if necessary. More than that I want to feel energetic and healthy in a way that I haven't felt for a very long time. So, I'm…

I know how you feel but consider logging it anyway. Here's why. When I didn't log a gain, I knew deep down that now, I would need to lose a pound just to get back to even AND IT WOULDN'T COUNT AS A POUND LOST. It makes facing the week harder. Also, once you log it you own it and it can give you power. You are out there,…

Try breaking it down into do-able pieces. Say, if you are sneak eating; try eliminating that from 3 - 6. Just that one thing. Me, I couldn't seem to keep recording every thing I ate so I make a commitment to record in the morning. When you wake up in the morning - what one thing can I succeed at today. And make that one…

We like to cut up potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions mix them with a little olive oil and roast them. It's a yummy dinner.

Thanks - what a positive, uplifting start to my morning.

Yes, you should eat all your exercise calories. Also, it might help to read this - I think it explains it really well. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/6556-the-answers-to-the-questions

I typically use food when I'm bored. It's like I can't think of anything to do but eat. Also, definitely use food for comfort.

My nutritionist (who has a masters degree) says 5 small meals per day with a source of protein at every meal. 2 of my meals are more snackish than anything but I try to include a source of protein in every meal or snack.
-
Wow! This is something I'm going to think about - I may steal month one goal and use it for myself and perhaps the other two as well.

Hey everyone! Thanks so much. Lots of good advice and since I'm looking for a place with aerobic machines and weights it seems to be perfect for me. I'm going to join this week.
