On track yesterday and today. Rainy day in Georgia, Did Wii Yoga and balance games w/hubby. Start Wii walking tomorrow. Have my great Granddaughter Mae for two days and she isn't feeling well. Allergies. We bought her a new baseball and bat and she wants to go outside and play but it is too rainy and chilly. She loves…

SUNDAY SHARE - I AM 68 YO HAVE BEEN 100 LBS OVERWEIGHT FOR LAST 5 YEARS. STRUGGLED WITH LOTS OF HEALTH ISSUES WHICH SEEM TO BE GETTING BETTER. TRYING TO FOLLOW A MOSTLY VEGETABLE DIET FOR HEALTH REASONS. I HAVE MEAT OCCASIONALLY BUT I FEEL BETTER WITHOUT IT. HAVE HAD SUCESS WITH PERRICONE DIET AND EDIETS, BUT FAILED AT…

Sore from gardening yesterday and did 20 minutes of yoga and balance exercises on the Wii Fit. Plus 45 minutes of walking. It rained today and my grandson couldn't come over to help plant the rest of my flowers so I will have this to do next week. Went to look for valance for sunroom but DH got sick in the store (think it…

Hi, I coming back to the group after a long absence. Health is much better and I have been able to maintain my weight but havent made any progress in getting weight off. Tracking and support are the keys for me. My fitness goals are as follows: 1) Work in my garden at least 3 days a weeks starting tomorrow 2) Water…

Charlotte, my thoughts are with you and your daughter. Some men just don't have a sensitivity gene!! This is my last post for a while, as I am leaving for Europe and don't know if I will have computer access, especially of the ship. I'm only taking my Iphone and don't know how often I will get to an internet café. Best…

Thursday truth. I feel I am doing the best I can. Did lose 2 lbs this week but not feeling well yet. Goal for today: Either workout in pool or walk as far as I can. Not going to set limits Katrena EBAILEY: GLAD TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR JOB. IT SOUNDS CHALLENGING. YOUR EXERCISE IS FANTASTIC. KAH68: I like the way you show your…

Sorry I have been MIA, Still having respiratory problems. Dr said breathing was fine but I feel a weight on my throat and chest when I lie down. He gave me an inhaler of steroids. Lost 2 lbs ths week. Appetite stunted. Went to a cookout Sunday and then back over for leftovers Monday and I have had severe Reflux ever since,…

Oh I forgot I have been 1 month without coffee. Really wanted a cup yesterday but knew it would not be good for me. Can't seem to find a tea I enjoy. Might try hot chocolate to see how it works for me. Like something hot in the morning

BOHEMIAN COAST - WELCOME BACK ALLISON. You made the hardest step. I was up 1/2 lb this week and am surprised. Have been sick all weekand no appetite and also no exercise. Still have asthma like symptoms, going back to Dr next week Don't want to be sick in Europe, so I need to get well I am going to try for water aerobics…

Still sick and my computer crashed. Have bronchitis and upper respiratory infection. Got lots of meds. Just got back from Dr,. Have stayed on plan, feel too bad to eat. New one for me. Will post later. Katrena

WED WISH - That I feel well enough for water aerobics this evening. Still feeling poorly though I slept most of yesterday and last night. Going to Dr today for chest congestion if I can get in. Lost 2 lbs this week. It's amazing how this group can keep you motivated. Just thinking of some of your struggles and…

Not well today. Got to dentist by 7:30 and had a crown. Tried to shop afterwards, but felt to bad, went to bed with tooth pain and head congestion. Have slept most of day. Just got up. Read posts and sending best wishes to all, Will post later in week Goal: GO TO WATER AEROBICS ON WEDNESDAY, WALK OTHER DAYS WHEN I LOSE 30…

I went to water aerobics tonight and really enjoyed it. I am more of a night owl and mornings are difficult for me, so going at night works well for me. The workout was very tough and the steam room and Jacuzzi were very relaxing. Maybe they will help me sleep. I am really going to make an effort to go three times per…

I just read on AOL that a woman in Iowa swallowed a tapeworm to lose weight. I have never been that desparate. Close but not quite there.

My weigh in is on Wed but I looked today and lost a little. Hope to lose more in two days. Have had an up and down week, eating out too much. What little success I had was due to planning in advance. On the positive side, I've had a few days with no GERD and that has been wonderful. Had to take a sleeping pill last night…

Hubby woke me with flowers and a nice card for our anniversary. We went out to breakfast and I planned in advance. Another nice with no GERD but could not get to sleep. Tried counting sheep but got up to 500 and no results. Finally took a sleeping pill but it took a while to kick in. My grandson came over with his family…

Saturday Success. Planned my lunch and dinner and stayed within plan. Gots lots of walking in for the day. Was tempted by McDonalds and resisted. This is the first day this week I have stayed on plan I decided that Fast Food is a trigger for me. I was not hungry but saw a McDonalds and the first thought I had was a Big…

Got a great nights sleep w/o a pill and no GERD. It was wonderful, woke up at 4:30 but started counting sheep and went back to sleep. Did that several more times and woke up feeling rested for a change. Somewhere I have a sleep tape, I am going to round it up and try using it again. It's fairly effective. Going to shop…

GOT A NICE WALK IN AND IT BROUGHT ME UP TO 80% OF MY ACTIVITY GOAL FOR THE DAY. MADE GOOD CHOICES AT DINNER BUT MEXICAN IS NOT THE PLACE FOR ME. I CANT STOP ON THE CHIPS. VERY TIRED FROM NO SLEEP AT ALL LAST NIGHT. HAVENT HAD GERD AT ALL TODAY AND AFRAID TO LAY DOWN FOR FEAR IT WILL COME BACK. IF IT DOES I TAKE A SLEEPING…

Friday Fitness - I will walk and extend the length of the walk. I will do my free weights routine. I am looking for a recumbent bike to use on rainy days. Hubby is working this weekend out of town and I am lonely. Joining my daughter for dinner but have hardly no calories left. Going to look up Sangria and may just have a…

Thursday truth: I was on auto-pilot today and went almost double over my allotment. I had 1000 calories at lunch in a cafeteria and then was going to eat light but my daughter called and asked if I was on my way. I had forgotten that I had promised to take my granddaughter out for her birthday, because she was going to be…

Helene. Sounds like you have a plan. I am in your corner.

Slept poorly last night but very little GERD and slept on regular pillow. Such a blessing. Didnt lose this week or gain. I'll take that after a vacation. Wednesday wish: To keep making good choices and stay motivated to exercise Kah: Thanks for the link to Katy Perry. I had never heard her sing but love this song. I am…

Back from vacation and had a wonderful time. The most positive thing happened. I ate whatever I wanted in moderation and not bingeing and even though I did not have a wedge to sleep on, I didnt have GERD any night except the last one. The difference I believe is that I swam each night after dinner and I was very relaxed.…

Two buffets in one day is two too many. I did well at lunch, ate small portions, but didn't feel I got my monies worth (bad attitude) but had dessert at dinner and overshot my plan. I am working on portion control but think it best in future to not flaunt it in my face. At least I chewed slowly and thoroughly and have not…

Was on track today and got in lots of exercise as I went shopping with my best friend. Also put on my tennis shoes and walked after dinner which was a goal of mine. I am leaving for Florida Friday, so will probably get a lot of exercise in there, although we are taking the Mega Bus down and that's quite a lot of sitting.…

MyMowMow. Thanks for the welcome. You've made tremendous progress. I know that was a lot of hard work, but you are close to 3 digit weight loss. Good for you. Sorry to hear about your job situation, but when one door closes, another opens. My thoughts are with you My goals for this week are: WALK DAILY OR GO TO THE GYM,…

Hi I am back on the thread. I got off track and then I joined Weight Watchers and it didnt really work for me, or I might say I didnt work for it. I don't do well with the theory you can eat anything you want, just count it. I just can't handle too many carbs and lose weight. I did fairly well on this site and the group is…

BUMP MEANS YOU CANT POST TODAY BUT WANT TO CHECK IN. I DONT KNOW ABOUT THE OTHERS. I, TOO DISLIKE THE TEXTING. WE MAKE OUR GRAndkids put their phones away when they visit us
