Have only been back to MFP for 3 weeks. Was gone a long time. Decided that it might be a help in finding what my swallowing problem is. So one again started logging and paying real attention to what, when, and how I'm eating. Also the texture of the foods. Have been diagnosed with a Hiatal Hernia and the suggestion of…

Welcome back. I'm in the same sitution or at least almost. My name is Sarah and I'm 70 with 3 grown children and 7 living grandchildren. I started with a trainer in 2008 and lost about 80 pounds then our world starting falling apart. Moved from our dream home to care for one of our Mother's till her death and then lost a…

[Hello to all. I was in this group a few years ago. Am female, 70, and live outsside of Jackson Ohio. Woul love to be friended by someone from the area. Back to MFP and this time things are not going to get in the way of finishing.]

Sounds like we are in a simialar boat. I'm a little older than yo, or maybe a lot, and everything you said falls in my wheelhouse. Would love to be friends and we can get this together together. I try to keep my meals between 4 and 5 hundred and snacks under 200.

Glad that he is back and it sure is amazing how fast we loose what we gain. I'm going to water therapy a couple times a week when I am at home trying to get myself back in shape. Takes a lot of work

You have done a fantastic job. Have you been able to get back to the Y for swimming and exercise

Didn't realize there was a name for that, but totally understand

Please explain what a pescatarian diet is

Glad to hear it was a slow loss. Too many want it done yesterday.and with a large amount of weight that is not smart

Thank you for this info. Have been trying to figure what my mother should be eating and this will help a lot. Granted at 88 her appetite is very low, but her health tells me that she is not eating enough of the right things.

Sue you always have the most important things to say . If we don't care enough about ourselves no one else will.

Weigh by ounces, grams and measure by cup as not always easy to find which way it is listed. Also some things settle and don't measure what they should weigh; things like pasta and cereals

You have done it the way we're supposed to. One step at a time and you've done great. Stay happy and you are beautiful

In 1969, when pregnant for out daughter my doctor told me that as long as I ate a healthy normal diet I could continue to lose weight while pregnant.. We have to remember that if we are very overweight that a lot of the things we have been eating is not really healthy for us or a baby. Daughter was the easiest birth I had…

Did the same thing not long ago and the only things I can recommend are the same as others. Walking or if you have the ability aqua walking

Thank you for sharing, you show how this can be done without changing everything in your life. I really like the treats now, not binges later.

That is what it takes. Stop and tink, use your head and try to get the best you can

So happy for you. I hope that the same thing happens to me. I know that a lot of my pants are too big, but i've been weeding them out. I just went through the tops and downsized everything. But I do need that honest friend.

Sounds like a great idea for a birthday gift for yourself. I would make sure it was digital. I have another one that is not and can be very misleading

Thank you for your story about the frappe. I have been seeing that advertised and thought I wanted one. Now I know better.

So happy for you that things have worked out so well. Enjoy your swim, your luch and your new life. By the way HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO A FANTASTIC WOMEN:drinker:

Sounds like you're on the right track

If you are not walking that much now it will help you to lose. Also will tone the entire body and is not as hard on the joints. If you find that you are already taking that many steps just up the number:love:

You are such a sweet hubby. Happy Birthday to the Mrs.

I think I need a large picture of you to post on my frig to remind me that it can be done. Congrats to you on you accomplishment from all of your hard work

It is so special when you have someone in your life that is such a support and gives all they have and then some. Been there, am there, and couldn't make it with out it. 48 years

You are a true testament that you can change your life. It's not will power it's determination. So glad you have be able to accomplish the things you have and I know that the future is bright for you.

Definitely add me. Got to get back on track
