There are more of us than I thought. Nice to know!

Just this.... WOW!!!

By the way, I noticed the Boursin the other day. THAT I stay away from unless I do a little binge.

Well said Alice!! Occasionally I take a peek at your diary and note that, as you advocate in your topic, you yourself eat "nice" calories. I term them "nice" because they are the foods I love. Smoked salmon, prawns and the like. Why use your alotted calories (as limited as they are) to eat things you dont care for. I think…

ahhh finally someone from my area (well the closest so far anyway) Chelan WA

Spramm. Thank you so much. You have answered every question I have had since joining MFP. Easy to comprehend also. Again thank you!

To the person who wrote "EEEK its still bad" No it isnt. You lost a lot of weight and are doing great.!! My stats: HW 201 CW 164 GW 155? Age 66 Height 5.8

What is in a number? You look 130 lbs to me and absolutely beautiful. Super job!!

wtg!

Took me 7.5 months and before I joined MFP.

Hello Ladies. I have just finished reading all six pages of this thread and enjoyed them. Nice group!! I would like to join you. I live in North Central Washington State and I am 66. Joined MFP almost a month ago and started strength training last week at a local gym. I walk every day for the last 2 months and will do so…

Had a craving for Johnson original bratwurst today.... untill I looked up the calories (270). I thought I will save doing that for another day. Heated myself 2 cups of homemade chicken soup. Healthy I thought. Then I posted dutifully and guess what 800 !!! calories. Boy I wished I had had the bratwurst. Next craving I have…

try to re-position your hands and, to start out do not start flat on the floor. I am 66 (1 year post mastectomy) and I can do some. Good luck!

I lost 40 plus lbs this summer before I joined MFP. At 66 I thought I would have hanging skin problems but did not. I drank more water this summer (100 degrees for almost 3 months) and think that maybe that made a difference. I hate drinking water but do it anyway. Also, since I worked physically (lifting, pushing) perhaps…

I feel the same way. I do not eat them back

you look absolutely great and must feel like a milion dollars. What a transformation.

Count me in. I have been walking for 2 months and joined MFP almost 1 month ago. I walk outdoors ( intill the snow flies) for 40 minutes at a good clip (3.5 mph on my husband's GPS). At least I think its a good clip being an amateur at this. I do not eat my calories from exercise back

fantastc job!! congrats.

Did not see any negativity. Just great entertainment and lots of chuckles in response to the "poisonous" food list..

I tried to personalize my ticker and scr...wed it up. If I lose the 166 I will be at 0. Wouldnt that be skinny? Anyone know how to get back into changing the ticker?

Congrats! I know how you feel. Like Nikki I do not know where I am headed. At 166 I feel pretty skinny (top weight was 204, never told anyone) I will just be happy to maintain through christmas and until spring when I will be more active. Great job, good luck

Yes do log alcohol. Lots of calories there. I like a drink once in a while but since MFP I substitute Black Velvet and Coke with Black Velvet and water. Big difference in Cals. Good luck

liese and tulips must be Dutch? Like me originally?

wow look at that hew stomach. Great job!!!

yes I am and its slow going. Now in top of goal range although I ruined my ticker which says I have 164 lbs (actually my present weight) to go!!. I guess it will just take awhile and I will be happy when spring comes around so I will be more active. THEN maybe the last 10 will come off. I am not giving up. Hang in there!!

you look fantstic!! Great Job !!

I went to the gym first time today. An attendant showed me each machine and gave demonstration. After each demonstration I got a go at it to determine if I would do the exercise properly. Are there no people ate the desk to help give you some guidence? I too went by myself and, being an old lady, I dont exactly have the…

amazing!! You also look 10 years younger. You must feel very proud.

fantastic!!
