So, I'm back. I made it to 3lbs from goal...... and gained about 10lbs back. I love me some carbs, so back on the wagon. Must be bikini ready for HI 2015 :)

I think someting along this line would be appropriate and appreciated!!!

I have 5. Two need to be re-worked since DH asked me not to get MORE. Reworked isn't more, right? :laugh: One is messed up from my weight loss and the other doesn't hold the same meaning as it did when I got it 20 years ago. There is a guy in town who does FANTASTIC cover work, so I can't wait to give him my money! :happy:

For all the new people~ This is an awesome group of over 50 ladies. Our bodies are so different from the younger ones with the hormonal changes, usualy a child birth or two plus the stress of taking care of DH, DC and sometimes parents ALL on top of working. So Thank You all who come here each day or even just sometimes to…

Spent the last couple months slacking. More motorcycle time, less gym time. My excuse is that Summer is so short here but the truth is; I have just been lazy. So, back in the saddle. More fruit and greens, less bar food. The size 12's are gone and they are NOT coming back. Happy Progress, y'all !

and the "bat wings" *sigh*

Maybe if they made my 50+ y/o butt look 16 again :glasses: . Then again, probably not... I'm too frugal. :bigsmile:

I never really drank much but I drink much less now. I tend to stick to unusual beers because I enjoy them and one is enough. I like saving my calories for other things like pizza :laugh:

Waist should be the smallest part and hips are the fullest part of your bum :wink:

53 and lifted for toning off and on for 5-ish years. Getting really serious about being consistant since it makes my motorcycling much easier and safer. Slow and steady and listening to my body!

5'8 53 y/o SW: 165 GW: 140-145 Sm/Med Frame I am doing weight training also.

5'8 WT: 146 Bust: 35.5 Waist: 29 Hips: 37 I have never had a tiny waist and have "pear"ed out since menopause. :angry:

sunshine61250~ Early to mid stage dementia is a very strange thing. They will have days of extreme clairity but these get fewer. They have more recollection of the past than the present. It is an odd and ugly disease that steals the person you know; changes their personality and behavior. While it doesn't really make it…

Try this, and no it isn't easy but it works for us.... Go to the library, on-line or whatever. Find a bunch of "make ahead" recipies and spend one day cooking. Place the meals in individual serving containers and freeze. It is all about small steps that help take you where you want to go! Happy Progress!!!

Eat the veggies and roll (your treat) before the mashed potatos so you might eat less and cut a few calories :wink:

Wednesday is "Hump Day". The day in the middle of the week which, when complete, leads to the WEEKEND :drinker:

I have some JCP St.Johns Bay shirts. They are not skin tight and also not too loose for weight training days.

I was surprised by how many calories I was really eating per day. Now I can check for "swaps", so I'll eat a big salad for lots of crunch satisfaction & fiber fullness instead of potato chips or other junk. Keep at it.. it gets easier. Happy Progress!

I ride a motorcycle and let me tell you.. I have the brightest lights, semi-loud pipes, neon helmet stickers etc but they are just no match for drivers who don't pay attention. The best you can do is be on the offensive and think 2 steps ahead of the cars :mad:

Liz~ I think there is always room for one more "mature" lady at table err board :wink:

NICE! Thank you!

They are still wearing parkas here <lol>

I made a major score this weekend at Goodwill. 2 pair of jeans and a sweater for $25. Happy Hunting...

One of my male co-workers (who is also a friend) said the same thing. I told him it is polite to humorously said "Something looks different about you.... did you get a haircut?" So we can then say, "No actually I've lost some weight, thanks for noticing" :laugh:

Get your nails & toes done for the beach! Massage or hair? Sounds like you may have lost enough to be in the market for new foundations... buy one set that is girly, flirty, sexy or fun! :bigsmile:

My "cheat" day is usually a re-arranging of calories. I will have toast & fruit spread for breakfast, then PIZZA for lunch and a more sensible dinner. I try not to go more than a couple hundred over my 1200 net. I think it would be easier to control if the never-ending Winter would end <lol>

One of the guys I work with wears them to train and do distance runs. He says they take a bit of getting used to but he LOVES them. I know another lady who wears them casually and likes them but my partner-in-crime tried them and just couldn't get used to them. Good luck!

Ditto!

With my body type and the relatively small amout of weight I have to lose, it really wasn't a drastic visual change :indifferent:

It is a mixed bag here at my office and people bring in all sorts of tempting stuff but I pack my lunch and snacks and do fairly well with eating my own stuff. Lots of guys in my office will "go halfsies" on cookies & such (and I give them the bigger 1/2). I limit myself on these "tastes" to twice a month. Like you, I keep…
