My husband and I just started Atkins also about 2 days ago. I'd love to share food ideas and chat

That's all I allow myself when I am INACTIVE. However, I try to be active in some way every day...then it's a whole different story. But I'd never go below that.

I am a 54 year old woman, and was completely not exercising when I started last July. Yes, I had to modify alot to start, but in time I got better and better! You are welcome to look at my before and after pics! You can do it.

West GA

I like the style of the blue one but in black! LOL. In either case, they need to be shortened just a smidge, to just above the knee.. more flattering to the curve of your leg. Below the knee is just a bit aging. Wear whichever one makes you feel fantastic. A stylish younger haircut or a good updo is in order! Splurge on…

I'd be Jack Lalanne TOO! Which is great with me, cause I always liked him and his style. :)

Agreed! I tried my hand at raising my own chickens and turkeys the last year.... very different texture than store-bought! ...and delicious.

Thymes' Tea Olive... smells clean like just-washed hair! also, Philosophy Amazing Grace...smells soapy and sorta like Coppertone. My absolute favorites.

OH I just saw the swimsuit pic! You look FABULOUS in it! NO WORRIES!

There have been some great suggestions here! I like the men's bottoms idea too. Here's an idea... a big, floaty glam maxi dress.. with chunky/funky artsy jewelry... OWN it... pretend you're Maude. LOL. FLOAT into the room! Say words like DAHLING. Have fun. Survive it as best you can!

Feet and legs! It seems to be working its way UP. LOL. Back fat is far less also.

Just turned 54 and I KNOW how hard it can be!!

Yes! But I don't like too much coating, too gummy. There's a restaurant here in town that does it this way: they take small okra and cut them lengthwise and they are just LIGHTLY breaded... more okra, more surface... garlicky. They are delicious that way. ALSO, I sautee' them in a pan with onions and garlic and EVOO....…

I enjoy a good steak about once a week. Just stick with lean cuts. Ribeye is too fatty. Filet mignon is lean, but expensive. If you can find flatirons, they are lean, tender and FABULOUS...and cheap! Publix carries them sometimes. Also a good marinated flank steak on the grill. Keep your portion reasonable and ENJOY. Also…
