  • You look AMAZING! What a difference a mere 18 lbs makes. The sun and the water have made a new woman of you. I cant wait to see how it goes in another 20 lbs. It's a tremendous victory.
  • Planning ahead is crucial in this weight loss journey. I think you have done a magnificent job. Congratulations on using such good foresight.:drinker: :drinker:
  • The best part, is one feels like they are under control again. The food monster is always lurking, trying to lure us back into unconscious eating again. Staying on MFP and facing that diary every morning we feel the victory, meal by meal. Welcome and I wish you great success.
  • That was a pretty phrase Jean. I love autumn too. Yesterday was almost 100 and tomorrow will be back in the 80's. Yet I still see autumn on its way. The flowers are about bloomed out and the cicadas sing ceaselessly. My southern mom called them jar fly's and always said it was an end-of-summer sound. I will miss the sun…
  • Oh my gosh, homemade meatloaf and potatoes sounds so good to me. I could skip the McDonalds any day for that meatloaf. Of course, I am addicted to the sweet tea and have had several times this week when it was calling my name. :blushing: I think for us slightly older ladies, with family obligations, this is a tough…
  • I agree Diane, a like button can be impersonal. I would always respond with words to posts where my pals have something to say but it would be nice to hit like when it is a bot posting saying they drank their water, stayed in calories, etc. I think a like button would be nice to hit just to acknowledge that we see you are…
  • I agree, this post was so inspirational. I read one time that for us older folk, over sixty, just two extra spoons of food a day and we can gain twenty lbs. That really shook me. When I started thinking about it, that would probably be somewhere around a couple hundred calories a day. Of course, who knows what the optimum…
  • Hi, I am a returnee. I have already found a great group here, willing to share their thoughts and wisdom. I almost have my first week under my belt and I am eager to weigh-in on Sunday to see how I did. It is amazing to see our food broke down on this site so that we can graphically see what we are stuffing in the old bod.…
  • Welcome, we are all on the same journey. Most of us are ladies of a certain age (cough cough) and I expect we all have a touch of the same issues you mentioned. I just went to the chiro today, and had a back therapy done. My back and feet are my biggest pains. I am like you, I lost last year....30 lbs in 6 months. I am…
  • I know, Ross and those boots...and that white shirt. Oh My. He is a wonderful blogger, and he responds often to our comments. He blogs about healthy eating. He lives in France with his American wife, Meredith (shades of Paul McCartney) and they eat a very Mediterranean diet. Wonderful blogs. You can friend him on Facebook.…
  • Gosh its fun speaking to a lady in England. Your mini looks adorable. I just got a new red, VW convertible. If I could figure out how to add the pic I would....lol I have to learn the ins and outs of this website. You look great. Glad you are so close to goal. I hope to visit England some day, I was a British Lit major in…
  • Thanks, for the great advice. You are the second person today that mentioned fish oil. I think I will be venturing out tomorrow to get a bottle. I really want to get to my healthy weight this time. I am happy that I did not regain the 30 I lost last year. I have regained 5-6 lbs of it, but have managed to stop myself from…
  • Jean you look like quite a dish, how much more weight are you wanting to lose. Sorry I forget how many lbs are in a stone. You certainly look great and I had to laugh when I saw the car behind you. I just bought a car the same color and have the same color hair as you. I could be your American cousin.....colorwise. What…
  • Welcome, and it is true, we all are here for the same reason, to put life into the years we have left. I recently lost 25 lbs and have 20 more to go. I already feel like a new woman. This is a great site, keeps us honest logging in what we eat. I just used my iphone to scan the bar code on my Smart Ones lunch, that was…
