Really wish I could figure out how many calories I burn on days like today. Beach with a 2 year old. Don't bother bringing a chair because there is not sitting. We had a blast playing in the waves and chasing the birds. I highly recommend you all get one of those little ones for exercise. Hope everyone had a good monday.…

Life has kept me pretty busy and unable to do more than log my food each day. Took the time to read your post Soozie. Love it. I'm like you. I can check off everything on that list. Hope we all have a fun filled day of laughter. Mine will begin when my grandson gets here. That little guy keeps me laughing all day. Have a…

Wish I read this before I had a snack. Way to go!!!! You are as amazing as your accomplishments. Keep up the good work.

Good for you. Great attitude.

lol Snoozie. eye surgery, see. good luck with it. Thank you for your words that will help me get back on board. yesterday was a bad day for me. I am not good with parties. Had all the wrong things. Starting a new week. I'm afraid to weigh in. Have a great day all.

Great pep talk Snoozie. I'll keep it in mind when I'm being tempted all day at the zoo with my family. Have a great day all. Fingers crossed that we all make wise choices.

You people are cracking me up. Luckily i'm pretty much over the hot flashes. I have days that I get them and days I don't. Always have at least a couple during sleep. Beginning to think they will never fully stop. My shirt goes up during them and down when it's over. My flashes have always been my mid section. some in the…

Another day and a new week. I'm wishing everyone the best for this week. I had an IPOM moment today. The scale showed me that last week was as good as I thought. Now my problem......I tend to get proud of myself and indulge. I'm hoping I can keep focused.. Snoozie: thanks for the new tool. I like the way they think. I'm…

Just wanted to share an IPOM moment. Went grocery shopping and they were giving samples of Lemon meringue pie and cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting. It was torture I tell ya. But I said no thank you. Even at the deli when I ordered my chicken breast lunch meat they offered me a slice to try it and I said NO!. But…

sorry, the above post was meant for another group.

Hi everyone. I'm 51 yrs old. currently weigh 123 and I'm 5'1". I want to get to 110. Never had a problem until menopause hit me. It's a struggle to have to learn all the ins and outs of proper diet.

you're welcome.

So, I've mentioned before that I'm a stay at home grandmother of a 2 year old and was wondering if I could add the chasing around and playing with him to my exercise log. Well here it is. A site that has some random calorie burning activities. Now I can add it to my plan. Sitting and playing is worth something. or pushing…

Mercinursi: It happens to the best of us. I'm with you. If I have a bad start I tend to just blow it all day and that's not really wise. Good job on getting the healthy stuff to set you up for success. On another note......OMG I have found my new favorite indulgent. I'm thinking there is something wrong and I hope by…

Good morning all. I think I'm doing very well this week thanks to you all. I'm hoping when I do my weigh in tomorrow it shows. It's sunny and hot but I'm gonna get some exercise in today. It's my one day without my grandson so I'm taking advantage of it. Have a great day everyone. See you later.

thanks BISLAND for the Flax seed idea. I was actually just talking to my hubby about getting some. A trip to the local health food store is planned for today. I like getting organic natural food and it's easier at a place that has all o I'm finding myself looking forward to weighing myself on Monday. I've been good all…

Thank you merobi. Keep cool! IPOM coz I've been doing well with my food all week. Hope it shows on the scale come Monday. Just need to work more on my fats. I'm always a little over.

This may be a dumb question but what is IPOM? Today I tried something different. I actually planned my meals to stay in my calorie range. Worked well but I find myself obsessing over food all day. When I think of something to eat I look up the calories and then decide if I will want it and when to have it. Drank all my…

at first I was having a hard time with the water but lately it's all drink. It helps when I'm craving food. Also on the Menopause note.....I started going through it at 47. Now at 51 I'm pretty sure I'm done. I gave up caffeine and t hat really helped with the hot flashes. I never get them anymore unless I have caffeine.…

Just read all these posts. You people are awesome. I think this will really help me make better choices. I'd like to ask an exercise question. Due to the fact that I'm pretty lazy to begin with.......I take care of my 2 year old grandson 4 or 5 days a week. Now I may not get out and exercise but I do play and chase the…

I'd join that. Menopause has wrecked havoc on me.

Pick me to be your friend. I'm 51 and new here too. We can work together and hopefully lose some weight. With a few laughs too.

Hi. I joined about a week ago. It's challenging but I'm trying. Don't get to work out at all except for my 2yr old grandson being around. I'd like to add you to my list of friends. (I have like 3) lol
