Hi everyone .. what a great topic ! I'm 84 and just recently had a very bad episode of heart failure which has left me unable to do quite a lot of things. I am still battling the weight problem and am determined to get a few more pounds off if I can. MFP has been a great help .. it's the willpower that is the problem!!…

This time last year I was in the throes of dying so I am very happy just to be here!

My inner battle with trying to lose weight!

Yeehah!

:'( Just can't get into the zone for dieting :s

Keeping track of the calories is a good start but some of us have to keep an eye on the carbohydrates as well. Personally I have found that the carbs are the worst for me putting on weight and I have to watch them like a hawk! I try very hard to keep them below 100 a day but I do love a bit of bread which is my downfall…

I think that you might find that if you cut down on carbs and increase protein it should help. .. it works for me!

Hallo Kreesh, I am well aware of the problems there are in trying to keep to a diet .. perhaps you are setting yourself some unrealistic goals.. in fact I would think that you are working So hard at the start that it is difficult to continue like that and then you are feeling a failure. Why don't you try setting yourself a…

There's some good advice from those ladies .. and I can add that after about 60+ years after being on diets for quite a lot of the time, nobody is able to keep to it 100% of the time and those days where the odd biscuit or cake happen to be eaten it's not the end of the world! I have found that I can adjust my eating plan…

It is a very helpful and useful site and I do hope you will find inspiration to keep to your diet and get back to being a healthy and youthful young man. Take it from me as an old woman who has been on and off dieting for years .. you are doing the best thing for your health (and for making yourself available to all the…

I don't know ..what is for lunch?

I track my sodium as well as I have high blood pressure. One of the things I have noticed is that quite a lot of foods have been entered with totally the wrong amount of sodium registered so I check everything myself all the time. This is a good site for changing grams of salt into sodium mgs.…

I'm on a Low carb and Low sodium diet and with 1200 cals per day .. have a look at my diary..Request "friend" in order to see it.

I find that I have to be very careful not to go over the amount of calories and carbs that are recommended for me especially as I am disabled and on quite a lot of meds too which means I am not at all active. The answer to your question really depends on each individuals circumstances and general overall height and weight…

I always wash my lettuce whether packaged or not. There have been so many reports of lettuce and other veg being washed in contaminated water I feel it's worth the effort to make sure it's okay.

Hi Jilly, I'm not a wheelchair user but I do use the mobility scooters in stores in order to get my shopping done. I am disabled in that I have a very bad back and exercise is totally out of the question plus any housework that I am able to do is very limited and I can only do it in 10min stages. I'm in a lot of pain most…
