congratulations you are an inspiration to others

I am over sixty with another birthday looming in September. I think at this age my expectations are different then what they were when I was in my 30's so would enjoy reading blogs and notes from individuals I can identify with. Count me in...

I also am working on making changes to improve the second half of my life. I know what my struggles are and if you need support or need to talk let me know. The hardest part is taking the first step and reaching out to others.. Good luck:smooched: :smile:

Good to have you with us, I also have a lot of weight to take off about 90 more pounds lets do it together.

Getting my nails done or a new CD are some of my treats. I don't have any big plans for down the road, feeling good about who I am should be reward enough after years of self-esteem that has been tied to how much I weigh..

Am trying to get back on track again have been off this site for about 9 months and my weight is 8 lbs more than when I first began. The guilt and shame is such a cycle, I eat because of my shame and in response become more shameful. I have just joined this site today and am hoping I can make the changes I need to get…

Thank you for your feedback and support I will read the material you suggested.

Your an inspiration to many of us an a lesson that you don't have to be a Phd, you just have to change your behavior and make a serious comittment. Thank you for showing us the way.

You are an inspiration to others and give me hope that I can do the same thing. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your story.

Congratulations and keep up the good work, I don't consider that bragging but just meeting your goals for better health and taking care of yourself.

I have one called StriiV which will give you calories, distance, steps, time and it is user friendly. I really like it it is digital so occasionally it needs to be charged and it is more expensive than some of the others but I use it and I am worth it, You may be able to get additional information at Striiv.com. Good luck

The first step is the most difficult and you have already done that, so congratulations, know your not alone and there are people out here who will support you on your journey. Good Luck

A little over my allotment, but stayed away from all sweets, no chocolate and no desserts, but too much dinner. Also did not get walk in, but tomorrow is a new day and plan to be diligent and back on track.

You are an inspiration to those of us who are just beginning this journey. It shows me if you persevere and stick to it you can accomplish anything. I know you will reach your goal. Congratulations.

This gives me inspiration to continue eating health and continuing with myweight loss goals as I see that it does make a difference in the numbers. Congratulations!!!

My A1C started at 10.1, I got it down to 6.9 in November and had blood drawn last Monday and am back up to 7.4. Needless to say my doctor called and I was in his office on Friday. Had to admit to him that I had lost focus, but am working to get back on track. The good news was my blood pressure was good and the rest of my…

It feels good to find a site that has people who understand and can provide experience and support, Thank you all, and I hope to be involved in this process for a long time. It is nice to know I don't have to do it alone.

Went in to have my A1C checked on Monday, doctor called on Tuesday and said I needed to schedule appointment. I now have…
