My golden retriever has been walking with me since she was a puppy. She's 11 now and very fit. During the winter she used to pack on some added weight but since I've gotten serious about my walking this summer, she's toned up. Last month the vet commented on how slender she looks and I wanted to yell at him. "what about…

If I order now will you throw in a set of Ginsu knives?

I'm 56, 5'9" and have been physically active most of my life. I started walking for stress relief 2 years ago and have built up my walking routine to 3-4 miles at a very, very brisk pace 5 times a week. I substitute the treadmill for the outdoor walk on days when the weather isn't cooperating. I also do some strength…

Homemade chocolate chip cookies. If I made a batch of 24, the first batch of 12 would be gone before the second batch came out of the oven. Needless to say, I don't make them anymore.

I went to my State's Fair last month and tried so very hard to avoid all the smells and wonderful food. Didn't work. I ate everything from corn dogs to fried cookie dough. But you know what? I worked out heavy the next day and forgot all about the setback I had. Took me a couple of days to get back on track and I didn't…

Yummo, I'm getting hungry reading all these great menus! Lean beef pot roast with red potatoes, carrots and onions for me. I love the smell when it's cooking.

Inspiring and humbling. Thank you for sharing this...it puts into perspective how we all should strive to "pay it forward" and dig our own ditches.

This is my beautiful walking partner and all around love *kitten* Bailey :heart:

5'9.5" and I love, love, love not having to ask for help to get things off of high shelves!

Canned vegies, especially green beans. All slimy and bland....blech

Music, music, music. When I feel like I can't go on I shift my attention to the tunes coming from my mp3. A wandering mind is a great focal tool if that makes any sense.

I'm 56 and proud of it!

Your face! It is amazing how much thinner your face is. You are a beautiful woman who should inspire everyone.

Love, love, love any veggie that's grilled, but beets are exceptionally great when brushed with a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper and grilled. nom nom nom

I started walking my dog because SHE was overweight. When my husband commented on how much slimmer SHE was becoming it dawned on me that a 1 mile walk was doing her good but not me. I was using the walk as a stress reliever at the time for myself. Woke up one morning and thought to myself, as long as I'm walking for the…

Wow! Very dramatic change, you look great!

Soda and fast food. Been soda free for over 2 years now. Just last week I took a sip of my husband's Mt. Dew and it tasted like liquified sugar. yukkkkkkk

Heck yah, I've been through the same thing. At my heaviest I weighed over 300 lbs. Mostly due to my job (was always around food and little or no exercise) but realisticly I had given up on what I could accomplish. After a change in my career to a very active job I lost 40 lbs. with no effort or change of eating habits.…
