The quiet sounds of a house just before bedtime

The sound of a clock ticking - no radio, no tv, no mp3:smile:

I've had my 'cheat days' as well. However, looking under the 'Reports' tab I've worked out that I'm approx. 4% under my target over the last 6 months as an average. So it does not matter in the long run if there are a few days when all does not go to plan. The result of that is that I'm still losing weight but not at the…

I consider myself an omnivore. End of story.

Mine was taken 9 months sgo, but like others of my age group have pointed out it doesn't matter at this age!

I'm always looking at my meals a couple of days ahead since I shop as near daily as possible. Going to the local s/mkt is a round trip of some 40 mins so burn of a couple of hundred cals each trip. I occasionally pre-log food, usually log immediately afterwards - same for exercising.

An update - A month ago I had lost just 7% body weight since starting in late Nov 2012. Now I'm just over 10%, so the pounds are beginning to fall off again.

College break isn't that long, is it? Unless you want to upset your Mum, eat the potato. They're a pretty decent vegetable to eat.

Alas, all I can claim is a meagre 4% since New Year's Day. It looks even less impressive at 6.9% since I began. Ah, such are the whims of the Fates in whose destiny our achievements lie.:indifferent:

That's an encouraging story in itself. I've just passed my 70th birthday and, while my target was not as severe as yours, I'm now well on my way. Sincere congratulations on your achievement. PS. It does get harder to achieve as the years pile on.

If they're in Poundland, what else would they be?

I'm nearly halfway to my goal, and feeling things slip a little. So I could be your 'conscience' if you could do the same for me.

That 'crack' is a forgery - wrong typeface. Don't get your hopes up because of that.

Thank you.

Ladies, I'm from Dumbarton. I sympathise with you regarding the weight. However, I'm just 1 lb behind my target. perhaps it's the different metabolism being male, I don't know. The weight change yo-yos a lot - a couple of pounds up then ½lb off on the succesive weeks. consistency is not guaranteed when trying to lose…

Might I suggest a work-around? Click on a meal, then enter a random word. The likelyhood is that you'll get back 'not found' and you will be invited to add a new food at the bottom. When you enter the title, you're instructed to add the various quantities. At the end, there's a coice of adding it to the meal in question.…

For doing it - and trying to get away with it!

I wish you both good fortune in your task. My endeaavour is not so different - a 40th wedding anniversary party in May, so I have a shorter time span with a smaller weight loss target. The goal is still the same - the end target achieved. My best wishes to you both. Bystander 1943:smile:

Well, i'll shortly be 70, and trying to go from the top of the overweight range for my height to (at least) the top of normal weight range for my height. Translated that means I need to get down to 11st 10lb (164lb) from 14st 2lb (198lb). At the moment I'm down to 13st 3lb (185lb) so I've still quite a bit to go yet. I get…

Hey guys and gals. Don't complain about feeling like 70 until you're there! It's worse than you feel right now!

My goal is to get my weight down from the top of the overweight range for my height to the top of the normal range by 1st May next year - and to learn how to dance!
