:flowerforyou: I need protein, so I have a slice of cheese twice a day- that is under 100 calories. Oatmeal is 110 calories and yogurt is under 100 calories. Kroger sells a protein shake in their health food/diet section that is affordable and high in protein. I personally tried the Whey Protein and I did not like it.…

FF cheese, low fat cottage cheese, low fat yogurt, fruit, vitamin water, caffine free tea, ff milk, raw veggies. I'm at 1,200 calories a day. I take breakfast and lunch to work plus snacks. So, the night before I fix 2 fruit smoothies, I pack 2 pieces of ff cheese slices, a banana, apple, cheeries and baby carrots. I try…

Doesn't work for me. I have to count calories ( I'm @ 1,200) and exercise. Joni:flowerforyou:

Welcome and Good Luck. I just finished my 3rd week. It works if you work it. Joni:flowerforyou:

Congrats! What an inspiration you are. Thanks for sharing. You look great!:flowerforyou:

I go thru this all the time when I am not watching what I eat--I cannot get enough-the whole time feeling guilty, which makes me eat more. Once it clicks in my mind, I can get with the program. Then, if I am having a hungry day, I try drinking water. I tell myself I'm probably losing weight, so it is worth it. I get up…

You look fantastic! You go girl! You are going to make it.

Good Luck! This program helps keep you on track IF you are honest and use it everyday:love:

Good question, I don't know either. Joni:flowerforyou:

WOW! How exciting.:flowerforyou:

I get Boca Original Veggie Burgers at Sam's. My husband grills them quick on the grill and I freeze them. When I want one, just get it out of the freezer and warm for a few seconds- careful they can get hard. I put them on thinwich bread w/piece of cheese, spicy mustard. catsup and a slice of tomatoe. YUM!:flowerforyou:

Hi there! I'm turning 62 in August. My first husband past away 15 years ago this August. I married again four years later. I have two daughters and two step-sons, inlaws for all for and eight grandchildren. I love to travel, be w/grandchildren, garden, pool, walk for exercise, and am active in my church. I need to lose 40…

Great Job!:flowerforyou:

I'll be 62 in August. Started this program two weeks ago. Have been able to keep my daily calories to 1,200 per day, drink lots of fluids and have been trying to walk and do pool exercises. I have been batteling a sprained or strained ankle for months. This week it came to a head and I had to have an MRI this afternoon, so…

The first week I kept my calories to 1,200 per day, drank lots of liquids and exercised quite a bit. I gained two pounds. I was frustrated and disappointed, but I managed to stick with my plan and lost three pounds the second week. I think you are probably trying to loose weight but put gaining weight by accident. Which…

I'm in. Had 8 glasses today!

Thanks for sharing. Shows us all if we sway, we will pay.

Thanks fur toe recipe! I love peanut butter!

I'm in. No binge July 1

I used Ali for about 6 months. Lost 23 lbs. That was two years ago. Have gradually gained 18 lbs back, but sometimes in that period of time it was as though I was on a diet to gain weight--oh! I hate that. I'm not really sure how good that is for you. I think it is better and safer this way

Thanks, I LOVE Peanut Butter.

I'm not Brian, but I'm over 60. If you need a friend in you age bracket, just friend me. learntolive, JoniB

Thanks for the encouragement.

Thanks for helping. I'm 61, kept my calories under 1,200 per day, brisk walking @ 3.5 for 1 hour per day last week everyday. Last week was my first week. I did not lose a pound. I'm discouraged, but not giving up. Any suggestions? Also drank 8 glasses of water per day.

I'll take this challenge. Tomorrow starts my second week. This week I kept my calories under 1,200 everyday and exceeded my exercise goal. Two days ago the scales had moved down two pounds, today, I was back at my starting weight. That usually really gets me down and makes me want to EAT, but I did not do that. I am…

Cleaning is great exercise--bending, reaching, streatching, mopping, vaccuming--oh yes--that is exercise.

Doesn't seem fair does it when you have to face so many obsticles. I'm over 60 w/40 lbs to lose. This is my third day. So far I have kept my calories under 1,200 everyday and managed to do some exercise. The water arobics is great--keep it up. I walk laps in the pool and do leg lifts, jumping jacks, and arm exercises in…
