Sticking to my food goals and staying under 1400 calories a day. Thaat being said, the lbs will slowly disappear. Did gym yesterday although was very tired, but felt so much better the rest of the day fatigue wise. My blood pressure was about 100 this morning so the half dose of meds might be doing the trick. I feel less…

If not me, then who? If not now, then when? Seen in an ad. Great posts by the way! Also love I know I'm not perfect. but parts of me are excellent!

Yesterday was a great food day as i stayed under my calorie limit, which has been a rare thing being away from home. Also walked yesterday and that was beautiful. Today I start my Squat 28 Day Challenge. I have never completed a real challenge before so it will be a novel experience, so I guess that is my goal. To be doing…

So inspiring to read every ones goals and successes. I have been away for a few weeks on my own. I have not lost anything in three weeks but have not gained anyhing either so that is success for my. I have been 30 lbs overweight for thirty years and now have face the task of changing my life habits to promote losing the…

Have been away for two weeks with out scale, etc. My weigh in day is Monday so I won't know where I am but hopefully not up! I have been eating in front of everybody this past two weeks which is kind of a weird goal, but I am a secret eater and that is why I gain weight or rather why I fail to lose weight, so eating in…

I am travelling tomorrow. Was going to travel today but woke up to thunderstorms and flash floods pretty much all over Southern Utah. So puttered today and intend to leave early so posting tonight. Loved the soft serve ice cream story. Now I know why and how. Fun. I measured my waist tonight and also jumped on my scale to…

Goal----to stay on food and exercise plan. Am driving down to our home today to pull weeds and water the lawn. It is a nice four hour drive, and I am hoping to do some good in the yard and visit with friends. Being alone means eating alone and I want to be on plan for food and exercise. I have a bike at home and will do 30…

Breanda, did you have knee surgery? How was it. I have found that after the first four months stair climbing has made the biggest difference in my knee healingl I am staying wiht my daughgter and my bedroom is on the second level and the stairs are steep. When I first started climbing I had to hang on for dear life up and…

Sunday Share My BFF and I went to see 7 Salt Lake City Parade of Homes yesterday. They were all over 5000 square feet and pretty much were pre sold. We were just amazed at how much stuff were in these houses. Strangely enough we did not see anything we were in love with but we got in alot of stair climbing and just general…

cblue the above post is a reply to your post for Sunday, 8/17. I just didn't realize it would post at the very end instead of right below your post. Am learning the ropes here.

I love how much you have been loyal to your food plan and that you 'binged' last night and actually binged on food that staying with in your guidelines....you are creating a brand new style of eating....way to go. And your exercise looks wonderful.

Success Saturday Last night I babysat for my three grandchildren overnight. I still knew what to do although it has been a lot of years doing general baby care. I think we all had a good time Right now we are watching pippa pig on tv. I was able to write down all I ate and kept within my calorie level within 100 calories…

I continue to be impressed with all the weight that has been lost by all of you really dedicated dieters......maybe we need a better word than dieters....LOL. Great work being done here and I am inspired to choose the better choice. This is my first week back, or should I say my first of many weeks of starting to eat…

Tracy i hope your daughter is doing fine after her surgery. My granddaughter had appendicitis in April and ended up in the hospital twice after her surgery due to a persistent infection. It was a very bad time. the last round she had to be on meds that prevented her from rejecting the second round of meds. She has healed…

checking daily is a great goal; keeps you aware of your goals of eating correctly for losing weight and taking care of your muscles and bones. Truth=losing weight is an uncomfortable feeling and it is difficult to embrace the change at such a slow pace and to know that you will not be able to go back to enormous amounts of…

I love this post site====so many people are losing so much weight and so supportive of everyone. I love all the variety that goes on in each of your lives. My wish is to achieve my goal of redesigning my family room. We have been overcoming finanacial problems of our own making and the 2008 crash and we are succeeding…

This is just a great post to check in to. I am uber impressed with how much weight everyone is losing. Yesterday I was below my food calories and am cutting way back on the sugar. As a result I woke up with a tremendous headache. Ouch. When I cut back on sugar it does affect my head for about a week. I just drink a lot of…

I discovered this post two weeks ago and have not been back due to the fact that we had a family reunion for the last two weeks. I posted an exercise goal but that did not occur. I loved the will will not and later factor to the site. The only think I accomplished during the last two weeks was the will goal of not eating…

HaHaHa! I eat healhy in public and scarff it all down in private or overeat socially for any reason. To be totally frank, I am always on a diet but never lose more than two or three lbs, the same two or three lbs, but only and ever two or three lbs. My exercise is spotty. I have just written down a goal to exercise on my…

This is the site tailor made for me and I am so glad I found it. My name is Susan, and I am 64. I am 5'5" tall and my weight has fluctuated between 160 and 200 for the last 20 years. I had a total knee replacement surgery last winter and gained 15 lbs. I do not seem to have any deisre to lose it and there in lies the rub.…

So what is the tool...i went to these emails expecting to get a definite answer and all I saw was yeah its great, hasn't been here for awhile, works really well.....what am I missing to find this site? Dumbo here!

Starting again is wonderful. It means you have been thinking about what you did wrong and what you are doing right to lose the weight and keep up the exercise. I read the other day in a magazine where women were dieting and getting back into their wedding gowns, and were all working out and dieting to do it, that exercise…

I find that tracking my food everyday and reading the report really helps....if I miss a day I go back to that day and log in what I can best remember. The report immediately tells me if I am out of balance in relation to carbs, fats, proteins, and sugars. This time around I have discovered protein shakes and that really…

If you have a lot to lose I think low intensity exercise is a great way to start; ie. walking everyday as far as you can comfortably go, then just keep adding time and distance. I had a personal trainer tell me that there isn't much difference between two and three days a week and tht two days a week will get you there. I…

First be realistic! My daughter has lost 65 lbs in a a year and has maintined it but it does take time. She wants to lose30 more lbs but is struggling so has put more emphasis on strength training and aerobi exercise, until she is ready to resume calorie counting. During her weight loss she started at 1600 - 1800 calories…

You have such a logical approach; I love it. My son is 6'3" and he weighs about 195. He has been in the Honor Guard and got into fitness as part of the army plan. I think you will do very well with your fitness goals. Take it slow and steady. The nice thing about losing weight when you are young it that you have a great…

Would like to start. Will keep the challenge in mind even it there isn't enough room.....thinking positive.

I see you have been a member since 2011. That gives me hope that being here for a while is still OK and that losing weight takes more time than I think we like to tell ourselves! My goal is 15 lbs.; it has been 30 years.

I am getting back on track today. I have logged in my breakfast. I have gone shopping and have cooked all my meals for the week. Now I just have to apply myself. This site should help. Have been here in spring but hectic schedule prevented me from computer access--random I know in this day and age. sigh. Would like…

I am getting back to being in better health; fell off the program this summer and am just returning. I had lost 16 lbs. and for the first time in 25 years I found out that being thin is really a good feeling. I am going to get that feeling and that lack of fat on my body back! Good luck with your goals.
