Laughing Cow cheese spread on celery sticks. String cheese with an apple. A slice of toast with a tablespoon of nut butter. Or, an apple cut into slices, spread with a nut butter. I am having the same issue!

I had good days and not-so-good ones this week, so I am not surprised that I stayed put. But the good news: I didn't go up!

Weekends are very hard for me. Always have been, probably always will be. But I always try to fit in at least an hour at the gym both Saturday and Sunday. But today I plugged my weight into the machines, and after an hour, I had burned only around 300 calories. That's a glass of wine and a few cookies. Puts things in…

I am the old lady of the group -- 63 -- and it's about time I take control of my weight. I am very active, but found out a week ago that my blood pressure was out of control -- 190 over 100. Never happened before. So I need to make changes, and fast. This was my wake-up call that I knew would come sooner or later. I am now…

My starting weight is 220. My goal is 8 pounds a month.
