Not going to cycle until I hit a plateau...then we'll see.

Celebrate my blessings everyday!

Feel free to add this Grammy!

@ Kitsada - wow - you sound like me at one point - under 200 by 2013 is very do-able - friend me if you wish some support from a "Grammy". Best of luck!

i am walking - but have had a busy morning (who knows calories burned) grinding 58 lbs of elk - mixing with seasoning, regrinding and packaging....probably burned 10 calories....but going to walk before going to buy my new used car!

damn, that was difficult

1. Chicken 2. seafood (any kind) 3. cheese 4. eggs 5. greek yougurt 6. avocado 7. spaghetti (angel hair - wheat or spinach) or rice 8. cocoa 9. ground beef (sorry ladies - you can still eat healthy with 93/7) 10.nuts

while I am at it - here is a recipe to help my sweet tooth. take a Duncan Hines moist deluxe cake mix (I use Swiss chocolate) - add 1/2 cup water and 1- 15 oz can Libby's 100% pumpkin pie filling. Mix thoroughly - place in greased 13 x 9 inch pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes - this is a crap shoot as I bake at…

Hi, I'm Diane and turned 55 in July - I am 5'4"....always never tall enough. I live in my dream log home on 142 acres in rural Southern Colorado. I work part time for a not for profit and I also work for idiots....so I may vent at times. In 2007, I lost 50 lbs. but still weighed 183 - have kept it off but need to be a…

Thank you - good read - however, our state fair is in Pueblo (the only tyown they could guarantee no snow in August) - hotter then Hell, so i don't go. Spoiled by my resident town - usually 20-25 degrees cooler on any given day.

when in doubt I always have a 100 calorie snack pack of something handy - usually nuts....safe alternative - planning is great, but when you can't this works for me.

Carbs - followed closely by chocolate - pasta and breads.

People thought I was FAT because I wasn't stick thin (this was the age of Twiggy) - I go back and look at my 5'4" pictures at 125 lbs and no, I wasn't fat....how very sad I listened to those fools. I would take a year off between HS and college - I partied too much the first year of college and played catch up the rest of…

good to know!

I try not to think size as with "flab" that will never go away unless I have a body lift - I am just excited that my once tight 14s are feeling great - maybe a 12 someday - will always be a large top but....I am excited to shop thrift and Goodwill - I never try on and for the most part have been very lucky.....and I do not…

there is no set fast lb/sz ratio...I was size 22 - lost 50 lbs - now 14 - so that is 4 sizes.....don't worry about the isze number - today the sizes are scattered all over the place....I just know I can shop Misses - not Womens

first you need to plan meals - and get the crap out of the house - I am sure you not taste testing everything will help - I have about 35 lbs to go...had a horrible day and have not been on the treadmill in two days - it is hard....no doubt...but can be done . I will gladly kick you in the butt if you slack off....I am a…

Thank you so much for sharing - I too sat here and was tearful....beautifully written, but also made me think of how very few pictures there are of me (now 55) with my wonderful daughters - yes, I always had the camera in my hand - They are now 27 and 29 and I have 2 grand babies - and again it is I with the…
