0....even when I was young and in my prime I could never even raise myself by as much as an inch. I just hang there pathetically.:tongue:

Not my weakness. I haven't eaten it in 25 years.

?????Can`t decide. I LOVE bacon but peanut butter is a staple.

My prednisone weight went on in a hurry but there's been nothing speedy about getting rid of it.I was on the drug for 20 months, starting with 20mg per day and then tapering so that for the last few months I was only on two, then one and a half, then one mg per day. I don't think I lost an ounce that can just be attributed…

How depressing. I used this calculator and my TDEE is 1230. It confirms what my body has been telling me. On a 1,200 calorie food plan my weight lost has been exercise calories divided by 3,500. This is why I find it annoying when I hit these "eat more to lose more" threads that trash anyone sticking to 1,200 calories and…

My goal is to lose the two pounds that stand between me and my goal weight. Then after Christmas I can take advantage of the sales and buy myself some new clothes. :smile:

Sassy, our bad little Boston terrier.

It depends on your numbers. I am 68 years old and weigh 130 lbs. I put my lifestyle as sedentary which it is unless I make a point of going out to exercise. Based on this information MFP says I use 1360 calories a day. I take in 1,200. With a daily deficit of only 160 calories my anticipated weight loss is less than half a…

My first doggie love was an American staffordshire. She was a GOOD dog, unlike another little dog I could name. I was a blithering tearful mess for weeks after she died and still get all choked up thinking about her. She was such a beautiful and gentle soul. When we were finally able to think about another dog we chose the…

Naughty little Boston terrier.:love:

I am 68 and my body is not as forgiving as it was. My social life revolves around my walking group. With them and others I have enjoyed some wilderness hiking adventures. This summer I found my knees were bothering me and I was having to sit out my walk some days or shorten it. Dr took x-rays and it looks like I have…

Sounds like your desire to ride could be a motivational force for you.

Hi Ezme. Welcome to MFP. I don't know anything about the Slimmng World program. I am from Canada and I don't think we have it here. Since you have found this site, why don't you give it a try? If you have an emotional issue you want to vent about you can use the forum but it isn't necessary. You can just start right now…

I find I can be more consistent with a first thing in the morning commitment. Later in the day, life has a way of getting in the way.

I go between 1 and 3 in the afternoon. Because I am retired I can go almost any time so when I joined I asked when they were least busy. They said after the lunch hour crowd and before the high school kids were free. When I was working full time it used to annoy me to find myself behind some old coot who could shop any old…

There was a thread on here a month or so ago started by someone who was afraid that if she shed pounds she would lose her curves. Looks to me like you found yours! Good job.

A waist line to die for! Good for you.

Does anyone else have a problem with rye bread or other similarly shaped loaves where calorie content is provided per slice? Which slice, I always wonder, the end slices that are maybe 3 square inches or the centre slices that are 20 square inches? Is it an average slice? That would provide some interesting…

^^^This is how I do it too.

Ever notice that if you are prepared to spend a lot, you get to wear a smaller size? Most expensive brands size large....it strokes the egos of their prospective buyers.

Ice right after the "injury" caused by a workout. Heat in later days. http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=18347

Do it while you are young...and yes, I consider all those who have posted on this thread to be young.:tongue: I had 16 lbs to lose...I am 5'4, I weighed 146 and I want to get down to 130, The fact that I haven't that much to lose and that I am 68 years old means that my BMR is only 1,100 calories and if I am sedentary they…

I stayed home with my kids till my youngest was in grade two. I loved being with them but when they left for school I went back to school too. I haven't noticed anyone posting about the thing I hated about being a SAHM....that was the way others treated me. My husband had a management position and it required that we…

To quote my friend's 2 1/2 year old grand daughter, "Him's an A**hole."

Wow! Look at that neat waist line and chin line.:flowerforyou:

I guessed your age even before I checked out your profile. While I hate to think of 35 as "mid life" it is so typically a time when women have achieved one set of goals....marriage, house, kids....and then stalled. A century ago you'd then die. Now it is time to decide what you want to be when you grow up. I went back to…

Eat well. This is not the time to deprive yourself of essential nutrients that you need to heal. Assuming that you were overweight to begin with, you didn't get that way in two weeks. You aren't going to lose it all in two weeks either.

My daughter was a December baby. The year she was one, Santa brought her a baby doll. We have a picture of her standing on its head. That was our first hint. She never liked dolls. She showed no sign of mothering smaller children. When she was nine, a friend of mine asked her to hold her baby for a minute. My daughter…
