That story is tooooo funny!!!

Hmmmm, sounds good! I'm going to do one right now for my snack!! Thanks for the idea!

Hello everyone! Joined MFP in January at the suggestion of my daughter-in-law and have found it to be very helpful in keeping me mindful of how much I eat or don't eat! I just saw this thread and wanted to say hello and chat with and get ideas from others over 50 (though I'm wayyyy over!). I am eating better and more often…

Right now I'm about 300 calories under my 1200 goal...not hungry! Up until I was 48 yrs old I weighed 110 lbs, then menopause kicked in with a vengence and by 50 I weighed 130, by 56 I weighed 150 and by 63 I weighed 190 even with all the walking I did.

You look great! Keep up your good work, it's worth it!! Thank you for sharing your success!

Fantastic job!! thank you for sharing your story! I too agree with the eating of "real" food not the made up "fat free" foods!!! I'm going back to "nature"!! I like the idea of eating a salad for breakfast (I'm getting so tired of oatmeal!!). What else, if anything, do you have with the salad for breakfast?

You're looking good! Inspiring to the rest of us...me at least!!! Congratulations!!!

I don't drink cold water much less take a cold shower! An ice bath???? I don't think so...not into the polar bear thing! I think I'd rather sweat to a cardio workout instead. LOL!

Mariel - what do you like to eat that is not flesh to get your protein? I was a vegetarian for 20+ yrs (in my 20's, 30's & early 40's) and used every variety of bean for protein along with eating tofu in any number of ways using vegetables and/or fruits with them. The number of recipes are infinite!!!! If you live near a…

Well my DREAM bod (of Janet Jackson) with my face on it (my photoshop skills need work!) got posted by I wanna be an RN (Thanks!!) and now I'm gonna try to post another photo of a woman who REALLY inspired me.....Marjorie Newlin died in 2008 at the age of 88. This photo (hopefully it shows up!) was taken in 2006 when she…

OMG!!! You saw it!!! Thanks for posting it!! All the letters in the code have to be lower case? Well now that you posted it for me I won't repost but I do have another one that is REALLY inspirational for me that I will post.

OMG! You look absolutely FABULOUS (that red dress is gorgeous too!) How long did it take you to accomplish your goal to date? Soooo inspirational to actually see people achieving their goals!!!!! Gives me hope.....Yea for you!!!!! :flowerforyou:
