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…
