Thanks for welcoming me! I think it is wonderful that you have a step-daughter who is so accepting of you! What fun you must be having with all the wedding plans. I am sort of left out of everything. I think the fanny pack will be cute. I have never seen it at a wedding, but I have seen them dropping the money on the floor…

Not a MOB but a step-mother of the groom! Totally stressed! I had lost 15 pounds and I have put back on 10 of them. Wedding isn't until August so hoping I can lose the weight. You both sound like wonderful mothers, making your daughters dresses. I wasn't blessed with a daughter, but I have 4 wonderful son and a wonderful…

Born and raised in Wisconsin. I live in Spirt, WI (near Tomahawk)

Thanks everyone! I finally found them in Pick n Save at the frozen foods!

Just turned 60 and would love to join your group.

As a older, hopefully now a wiser woman. I have been there. Sorry to say but once a cheater, always a cheater. For yourself you need to move on to a better place.

My step-son is getting married next August and I want to look way better then my husband's ex-wife!

I lost in the beginning, but the last two months I keep gaining and losing the same three pounds! I have tried exercising more and drinking more. But still no change. ?But I am going to keep trying!!

I pray to God every night to help me with this journey. I know he is watching over me, but I need help from him to say "no" to food sometimes. Would love to work with you on this journey, with God's help. Plus, it looks like we are the same age!

Easy meal: Chicken breasts and a jar of salsa. Put in slow cooker for 6 hours. You can have meals for a few days. Either make with rice or noodles or whatever you want! I make it on weekends and have it for lunch or dinner for a few days.

Wish I could, but I live about a hour away. :(

Are you drinking enough water?? I have upped my water intake and that helped.

I will be 60 in November. So I know what you mean! OMG Also, from Wisconsin. I decided I need to feel better about myself, so I started the MFP. Love it! I am losing weight. Maybe not as quickly as I would like, but gradually (like how the weight came on). Good Luck to you. Go Pack!!

I agree. He is really going to mess up your kids!

The caramel ones. yum

My favorite one is just frozen chicken and salsa. Dump it in and a few hours you have a good meal.

I think we are all nervous we won't succeed. As you can tell I am also a glass half full kind of girl. But this is a decision you need to make on your own. If you really want it, you can do it!! It's a one day at a time process.

I like it raw with a little salt on it.

Duh! Now I see the Kale on your list. I think we are growing about everything you are. Plus our apples, plum, cherry and pear trees. Can't wait to get all the fresh veggies in a few weeks.

You should plant some Kale. It grows really well into the fall and is a great diet food.

I've noticed I can't fit in the capri's I wore last year (they are to tight) even though I am down over 10 pounds from then!

I love green tea and drink about 6 cups a day. I have a keurig and I use the Timothy's cranberry green tea.

You are not alone!

I'm 59 and 5'2". I am trying hard to lose weight, it was a lot easier when I was younger. I think it's just one day at a time process! Yeah Packers!!!

I love my green/cranberry tea!:flowerforyou:

That's hard to get up early to workout, especially on Monday's! Good job.

Corland!!! By far the best apple.

I love that pineapple/coconut flavor! It's the best. But I do only drink it occasionally.

Sounds like you have been through a rough time. Don't be so hard on yourself! This is a one day at a time journey. I know you can do it!! You've done it before. Just start!
