@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.

Hi all, just checking in. Welcome to new people on here. I’ve been on this weight loss journey almost a year, since I was diagnosed with T2diabetes. Since then I’ve lost over 50 lbs. have at least another 50 to lose. Working at it every day. I’m very slow at losing. I enjoy food, cooking, and entertaining. Every once in…

Yes, I’ve felt like you mentioned. I’m diabetic too, and my dizziness was probably caused by my blood sugar going crazy. If your doctor prescribed ozempic for you, you should follow his/her advice and take it. Once your symptoms and blood sugar are under control you can revisit taking ozempic. I would not fool around with…

Pop is my worst and most difficult addiction.(Diet Coke). I did manage to give it up once for a whole year, but it’s because I left the country and it was unavailable to me. I fantasized about BigGulps at 7-11 when I lived overseas. My son hates me drinking it because of the aspartame. However, it’s a treat that I look…

I understand how you feel. For some reason (Fear), I’ve finally been able to get committed this past year. Also, something I read on here really helped me. Several, very, knowledgeable people here said they were successful by making good habits. Turn healthy lifestyle choices into a routine so you hardly have to think…
