Welcome Mellissa! You can never have too many friends. :smile:

I have found that those diets don't work that well. The best advice I can give you is write the foods you like down, then put a star by the ones that aren't fattening and a minus sign by the ones that are. Next either buy a book with the information about the calories, fat, sodium and cholesterol in the foods with stars by…

You get back into eating healthy and get a couple of Sweatin' To The Oldies videos and dance! :smile: Hey it happens, just don't let a few mistakes stop you, good luck!

Here is an idea, get the Sweatin' To The Oldies videos with Richard Simmons. My knees are bad so I just do things like leg lifts, which are good for your thighs. Another idea is thrift stores because you can get exercise equipment for practically nothing.

It took me almost a month and a half before I saw any weight loss. My main problem was that my health isn't that great and I'm 62 years old. If you gained a couple of pounds don't worry, you will lose it before you know it.

I know how you feel, I'm there myself. I can deal with aging but I hate being fat and I can't stand it when someone says 'oh that's part of life' because it doesn't have to be. About 20 years ago I went from 184 to 115 and I have around 50 more pounds to go. It will take longer to lose this weight then it did in the…

Hang in there Valerie and don't let anything get you down! :wink:

Welcome to everyone! :flowerforyou: I am from North Highlands, California and every pound is fighting to stay on my body but I'm stubborn.

Hi! I have 58 more pounds to lose, it isn't as easy as the last time (I lost 60 pounds then) because of my age. I'm 62 now and was 46 then. Welcome and good luck to both of us!

I went to Winco's and bought a bunch of Snack Packs and Strawberry Kiwi Jello to go with my Smart Ones dinners, so far I've lost three punds in three weeks. I would love to go to a gym, but can't afford it so I have began doing tummy twisters and leg lifts.

This month I lost four pounds and in August I plan on doubling that number. For some reason I am unable to find a way to keep track of small exercises such as tummy twisters and leg lifts, so I will be setting up a page for that offline in August also.

When you don't eat breakfast you could end up lightheaded, lose energy, suffer from headaches and snack on junk food.

About 20 years ago I lost 68 lbs. and what kept me going was I had a sign with a cartoon of a fat woman on the refigerator door with the words "watch it!" Below that was a picture of a cartoon of a woman with an almost hourglass figure with the words "this can be you!" A friend of mine from work did the same thing with a…

Instead of eating Dreyer's Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt, get their Frozen Fruit Bars. They will cool you off just as fast, but won't add that much sugar to your body. Great snacks are celery and carrot sticks and bannanas. Also baked potatos are great for a lunch meal, just use something like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter…

Welcome, I just joined today also. This time I don't plan to eat any frozen diet dinners, but to measure out all of my food. Someone told me once that I should not eat a bagel and a packet of instant oatmeal for breakfast, just one of the other. Does anyone know if there is any truth to this?
