I'm happy for you. Keep it up. :flowerforyou:

Good for you for posting, for me, that keeps me from giving up and going back to my old ways. Oh well, so you ate something you should not have. No big deal. Log your calories, and start over right now not having any more snacks. We are human you know. :heart: :flowerforyou: Joni

Do you really think 44 is too old? You've got to be kidding me, I'm going to be 62 tomorrow and I'm not too old. You are only as old as you feel. How old do you feel? Do you think 44 is old? I broke my hip four years ago, before that I was really young, now I'm around 50. Rethink your thinking. Love, remember, you can do…

I'd love to be your friend. I can talk to anyone any age also. Don't pay any attention to neysayers. For the most part, I havn't told alot of people I am doing this because I don't want any negative feedback. My weight is coming off slowly. No one has noticed yet, but that's OK. I'm doing this for me. You will get lots of…

Well I'm going to be 62 on the 23rd. In good shape dispite the fact that my body wants to let me down. I still work full time-plan to till I'm 66--then really hope to retire. My job is physically demanding and my body is suffering the consequences. Last week i got back to my thearpy exercises--they take me about 45 min. in…

Congrats to you! Keep on keepin' on. You had a pretty face with your weight on, but equally as pretty with the weight loss, but OH the HEALTH BENEFITS! Keep it up and off. :flowerforyou: Joni

HAAARAYYYY! Keep it up!:flowerforyou: Joni

WOW! What a success story. Keep it up!!! Joni:flowerforyou:

Just today tried PB2. It was good. It is a powder, you mix 2 tbsp pb2 powder with 1tbsp water. I tried both regular and the one w/chocholate--both were good. Get this--2 tbsp are 45 calories. I also loooove peanut butter. I have had a pb&j sandwich on sandwich thins and had a vegtable. That will keep you within your…

No, what do you do? I did one a couple of years ago- the results were not that major. Let me know what you do and how you do. Joni:flowerforyou:

How awful! Sooo sorry you had to go experience that. Really, that is awful. . I think it's time to tell them if they can't say something nice, please don't say anything at all. You need some good loving encouragement. Is there any way you can spend less time with them. that is just not acceptable. I find myself lonely and…

Hi. amd yes you are beautiful. I'm alot older than you, but I will encourage you. I will not be able to get on you if you slip up-we all do-but I can and will encourage you. Good for you for sticking with it and trying a different angle. If at first you don't suceed, try try again. Isn't that what we do best? I'm…

I use Herbal Life, and it is great!. It comes in about nine flavors, I like vanilla. You can add yogurt, fruit, (I use strawberries, blueberries, rasberries and blackberries). You can also put granola or oatmeal in it. I've never done that. It taste GREAT, is filling (I never thought it would be), keeps my sugar…

Thanks for the reminder. I want to get some. I just recently heard about this. I have stomach champs-hear it helps that. :flowerforyou:

I need to be in on this. Joni

I remember those days, I'm in my 60's now.:flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: :heart: I strained my left foot first part of January doing side lunges with shapeup shoes on. The second week I had to stop doing my exercises. Food got progressvly worse. First of April, I went to drug store, got a good brace w/metal stays down both sides, helped ALOT. Went to DC w/granddaughter and class,…

I have an unusual work schedule also. I try to eat every three hours if possible. I have to have protein to keep my sugar balanced. I have a fruit smoothie for breakfast before I leave home, or on the road to work. (Or a protein bar). Three hours later, 1 slice of cheese and a banana. three hours later, cottage cheese and…

: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:

Bump

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:
