I was in Jasper hours before everyone was evacuated. It was a wierd feeling. Jasper is a sweet, beautiful little town. I’m happy we got out in time, but can’t believe how quickly the wall of fire hit the town. It burned 1/3 of the town including the mayor’s house. Not sure if the resort we were at burned. Saw many fires…

@Joy1580vb enjoy Newfoundland and Labrador. I love it there. I would probably live there if I didn’t have so much family here in Ontario.

Hi Ladies, Sorry to hear about West Jets possible strike. My son in law used to work for them. Finalized some plans for our trip to Alaska. Will be visiting the West Edmonton mall first, then travelling west through the Rockies, then to Vancouver. We fly out of Fairbanks down to Seattle, then another plane home. Looking…

@BarbMessimer I’m with you. I’m in a similar situation. I have 100 + lbs. to lose and have lost around 52 in the last year. Yesterday was a tough one for me. Sometimes I can’t seem to eat the correct amounts so I don’t end up starving or craving something at night. Last night I gave in. The good news is I’ve changed. I…

You should be very proud of what you’ve done. I hope you have a happy, healthy life in your new, healthy physique. You’re smart to do it while young.

@Joy1580vb I absolutely love Newfoundland and Labrador! Make sure to see Lance Au Meadows, in the north before you cross over the water into Labrador. There’s a Viking archaeological site there. Of course, you’ll see moose, the largest population in the world I believe. There are very few hotels. In fact, I don’t remember…

Hi Ladies, Well, I’m feeling more positive about my health and weight loss this week. I’m losing again, I’m sure because I’m logging my food, and I’ve had a couple of great swims recently. Saw a physiotherapist who’s wonderful. She told me to swim if I want to, even with the tore shoulder. I do want to, and I did. Loved…

Hi Ladies, Went swimming with a friend today. Boy, everything moves easier in water. I’m on the other side of Canada (Ontario), and it’s been a little cool here too. Raining a lot. I would love to see the Sun out, and feel its warmth. Soon I’m sure. I used to love going to Florida, but haven’t been in a long time since…

Hang in there ladies. I’ve been struggling the last couple of months, I just sort of gave up ,then had some painful health issues, and realize I have to do this. I’ve know there’s no choice for me. I have to lose weight to be healthy if I want to have a good quality of life.

Still here, reading everyone’s posts. Had a bad last couple of months and gained almost 10 lbs. started losing and living better recently. Tore a muscle in my shoulder, probably lifting weights, and had a bad bout of diverticulitis which really smartened me up to getting back on track. I realize I can’t afford these kind…

@3rdtimelosesit so sorry to hear what you’re going through. I believe it’s a real life skill to learn how to roll with the punches and adjust. I know you’re upset, but I admire you for moving on with a plan. You sound proactive. I wish my children could learn that skill. For everyone, at least I think so, At some time life…

I love what you put here, so true!

MFP has a food diary that counts calories for you if you use it. I use it to lose weight.

Enjoying reading and catching up on this thread. It’s encouraging to hear why women our age feel it’s important to still try to lose weight when overweight.

I’ve been Mia. Had a bit of a healthy lifestyle breakdown for the last 6 weeks. I don’t know what triggered it. I went from living the most healthy lifestyle I’ve had in years to kaputski! I’m really trying to get back to it. My life does depend on it. I’m old, diabetic, and obese. I’ve gained 8 lbs. in the last 6 weeks,…

@deepwoodslady thanks for your personal insight. You may be right about the doctor. He was very happy with my progress concerning my blood work and weight loss, and my reaction was weird. Going to spend tomorrow night in the hospital for a sleep study. I’ve been putting this test off for a long time, but finally doing it.…

I’m back for another challenge. My goal for March is to amp up the effort and get out of the 170’s. I’d like to lose at least 4 lbs. I should be able to do this. Starting weight in March 2023: 230 lbs. (diagnosed with diabetes) Goal weight: 120 lbs. Height: 5’2” Total loss: 54 lbs. End of Sept. weight: 187.8 lbs. End of…

I’m lurking on this thread, but have to say I’m thoroughly enjoying reading this. I’m diabetic and trying hard to keep my A1C low. Last reading was 5.5. I’m very interested in keto diets. I know I eat a lower carb diet than I did 1year ago and all of my blood work has improved. I don’t count carbs yet. I still eat all…

I’m happy to see this thread ‘emerging’. I’ve been on MFP almost daily for the last11 months, and have lost a lot of weight. I still have over 50 lbs. to lose. I started because of my increasing health issues, and I’m committed to continuing. I’m 72 years old.
