I'm 44 and the 40s have been my best, most mature years yet. lately, however, I've realized that I'm "halfway" done with my life if I live into my 80s. I'm struggling a bit with that. BUT, I try not to dwell on it.

My back doesn't hurt anymore when I'm cooking!

This post made me cry. Almost identical experience with my dog.....

I'm so sorry....I just lost my dog in May to cancer...she was older too....I chose not to pursue chemo with her....her being so old, it would have only added to her suffering....and I chose to put her down in May....it tore my heart into a million pieces.... Spend lots of quality time with your dog....give her anything she…

I never call it cheating. I just fit it into my calorie goals...for me it's moderation....moderation...moderation....I hate the word "cheat."

feel free to add me: Start weight: 250 Current: 179 Goal: 145 :)

I think I love you. That is all.

Agree. Not enough but a step.

I am with you here....

EXACTLY! Geez. Someone control the damn food police. Each to their own.

LOL.

Then don't eat the whole pizza. Moderation.

Nice to "meet" you. You've received a lot of advice above....our lives are very different, but I started out walking...can you start with some walks around truck stops? And build from there? That's got to be a major challenge.....you're not alone here....

Um, really? Who cares.

I like this. Moderation.... BUT...six cheesecakes? Yeh...I'd take five of them to work for sure! Let all them eat them up!

THIS. I love love love cheese.

I never eat all my calories back, but I do some.

You look terrific!! Great job!

Mine told me the same thing. I wanted to slap her at the time...but I've since come to my senses!

This. Ever since I put mine on 1 lb a week and started eating more I feel WAY better. Slow and steady is the way to go...drastic measures will likely end in disaster not to mention the damage you are doing to your body.

After losing nearly 65 pounds I get this ALL THE TIME. THERE IS NO SECRET PEOPLE!!! I wanna scream every time I hear that.

This. This. This. Period.

1400-1500 with a high activity level here. :)

Even tho we just "met" today....I just wanted to say "you're welcome." :0)

Nope. I don't care either. LOL.

Feel free to add me! Always looking for new friends!

I caved and had pizza this week. LOL. But I balanced it in with my calorie goals...soo....LOL... :) Love this pizza porn thread!

This. I lost a ton of weight in the first five months or so...and then it slowed way down now that I'm 63 pounds down....kinda smacked me in the face as I was expecting to keep losing that quickly...now, yes, I'm so excited to lose a pound a week...but sometimes that doesn't happen and I've come to realize it's ok...this…

Love this. I do the same with myself. You're doing awesome! :0)
