Great idea!! And great progress - celebrate with new plantings or a comfy chair in which to relax and enjoy the fruits of your labor. My plan is to keep a pair of current shorts close by all through the winter and try them on weekly. I love that last year's things are too big and I've had to shop for some new things. All…

Thx for the help! I know low carb isn't the way to go long-term. I just want to be sure I'm relatively balanced.

Overheard a mom behind me say to her son in a movie theater once, "No, honey. The lady in front of us is not Helen Hunt. She lives too far away to come to movies here."

I'm not buying into the starvation mode thing either. I've read a lot of posts from people who ate below their calorie limit and did fine. I've never counted calories before this but cutting back on food in general is the only way I've ever lost weight. I've only lost 2 of the 10 pounds I want to lose and am frustrated…

I'm on the "Be the Match" bone marrow donor registery. Between that and being a regular blood donor, I think of staying healthy so that I can help others be healthy. And, to be honest, occasionally it's seeing people my age and younger who are bigger and not wanting to look like that.

Thanks for your story. I'm glad to see someone else close to my age replying to this. I'll be 58 next month. I've been on the small side all my life but past menopause developed the "menopot" and "mom arms," both very frustrating. Would love to run but can't due to foot problems. I walk every day (two dogs) and use the…

I've heard that losing the last 10-20 pounds is the hardest. I have no quote for you but I love the Nike one someone posted!! Stories like yours are motiving to me! Hearing that you've been working for a year and done so well is something to be very proud of. You look great. Have a fabulous summer and keep on with your…

Thank you - thank you - thank you!! My husband loves me even tho' I'm 20 lbs heavier than when we met. He also supports the hard work I'm doing trying to lose at least 1/2 of it! A lot of friends call me "skinny" because I'm thinner than they are, but it's personal, isn't it? I have "mom arms" and much more of a stomach…

Your last sentence says it all - hang in there!!

Bittersweet for sure. Glad I don't have much to lose and feel like it takes twice as much to lose 1 pound as it does for some to lose 2 or 3! And many people say, "You don't need to lose weight!" For me, it's all about toning and trying not to look my age and feeling good in my clothes. There's that added bonus of better…
