So happy for you. It's about time for some thinner looking clothes. The top is pretty but hides the shape you have gotten to be.

I am so proud of you and happy for your loss. As far as Ed's comment, I have done that and had a gain. Makes no sense

A little bit of chili powder. I had forgotten how much difference a tablespoon if chili powder mad in 5 gal of vegetable soup. I was working for a caterer and the sop just wasn't tasting right. Finally remember I had made soup at home by recipe, which is something I had never done and the recipe called for chili powder.…

Good men like ours are not always easy to find. We do have to take care of them.

You are definitely getting it done

I used to believe as many on here do that age is a state of mind, and the older I got the older old was. After living and working in a senior community I found that it is a state of mind. I have known 90 year-olds that were younger than some 40 year- olds. When you have to make an appointment to see someone they must be…

:love: :love: Started one the mid part of Aug. I'm in again on my stationery bike and lawn mowing. I push mow about 1 1/2 acres once a week and will be biking everyday. Starting when I did in Aug. I got 75+ miles biking and three mowing. For someone that's sedentary that's a start.

I also stay away from buffets as I have learned that I can't handle them

I still eat the things I love, just not as much.

I learned a long time ago that any artificail sweetner was not good for me. Whether or not they are the cause of MS or lupus I don't know. I just know that they cause headaches and stomach distress for me. That's enouh reason for me to stay away from all of them.

I'm a bit older,67, and the last year seems to have been one medical procedure after another. A knee replacement, shoulder repair and cyst removal. Luckily? mu surgeries each had therapy following. The best thing I can offer is to start slow with the exercise, walking biking, stationary, or even walking in water. Keep your…

Married 48+ years. Dated him for 4 1/2 before marriage. I think it's long term

If you try to do all boiled chicken and rice you won't stay the course. The more variety you can work into you day you won't feel deprived. Have the snickers or ice cream or cake. What ever will work in you daily calorie plan. AND ENJOY

I would think anyone 5'10 or above would look terrible that small. I also know that is not extreme height anymore.

Double digits start at 10. That's 2 numbers. Who really wants to look a someone extremely tall with a lrge frame that is not overweight in a 10 ot 12. That is nothing but bones.

So glad for you that you have reached that number. I agree with you that we get stuck on numbers, be they weight, height, age or anything else that we can be catagorized by. When I set a weight and date to meet it invaribly I will go the other way. My goal is to be healthy, not a size or weight. When I get there I will be…

Yes wh olive oil is heated it loses it' nutritional benefits. That's why you should only buy cold pressed olive oil. It can be added after cookking for flavor or used in salads.:smile:

Welcome good to see that your re thinking about your health at this age instead of waiting 10 or 20 years like so many.

Sounds really good, Will have to try, but will cut the recipe in half.

Thank you for this question. I have also been looking for more to do at home than the stationery bikeI have small weights, balance ball and bands from working with a trainer a few yesrs ago. Life has changed some and need to get back to the workouts. I've learned a lot this morning.

I was surprised when I started actually measuring and weighing everything. My guesstimations were way off. Always on the more food less calorie side.

I'm always lookng for new information and encouragement:wink:

Yes 1 cp is eight ounces liquid. Dry weight in a 1 cup measure can differ greatly.

I must be hungry fir Japanese. That souns like a meal out

I would have a very had time saying ust three. But I'll try Sushi soups Veggie salads

Saw those yesterday and what's in them looks like corn muffins. Seems right

I born with fat knees. They were even fat when I disappeared when I turned sideways. Don't think they will ever change.

My thoughts exactly In trying to live a healthy lifestyle so much time is spent on planning exercise and meals that those things would never get done.

Totally agree. Started weghing everything as an experiment. Was totally surprised when two strawberries were over 100g. Now I just weigh, even liquids as they should be by liters or parts thereof, instead of cups. Metric is closer to true. Just wish that everything would be lumped together in metric, ounces or cups. Would…
