Butter is a whole food and that is what our bodies like. Always, butter!!

Hello new one, I would recommend starting slow and let the little things become permanent ones! I don't eat frosting or gravy anymore and what a difference that has made in my life. I also try to move 15 minutes a day, walking in place during commercials or doing a flight of stairs twice instead of once every time I have…

I too have this problem but what works for me most of the time is to find a distraction like reading a book, working in the garden, painting, or just heading out in the car to do an errand. Our mental aspect of this journey is so powerful towards our outcomes so I think we just have to keep getting control of it. Wishing…

Cake, donuts, and sweet treats in general. Anymore, I really think before I grab these because processed sugar is so bad for a person!!!

I really want to be victorious in this journey and O is the start of my last name. Also my first name means victorious:))

I would love it if I could stick to your schedule, it seems like I cheat every day!! Maybe your idea would be good for me:) I have been a hard cookie to crack because I can usually get the first 15 off but then feel so good I start to just eat a bite of this or that and it becomes much more than it was intended. I am…

and headed for Irish Crag

I am going to lose the remaining lbs that I gained over the holidays so I can continue losing and look and feel good for everything that comes along:)))

You look awesome and are a big inspiration to us all. CONGRATS:))

That I am still on this journey and that I haven't given up:))))

Great idea, I will add it to my others, like when I need to get out of a chair I sit and get up 5 times or when I need to go up or down stairs, I travel them 2 times before I land:)) Every little thing helps!!

Some nuts or fruit, I like to keep it all whole foods between meals:)

I go back and forth on this issue. I weigh every Friday morning and record it on here, up or down. I do weigh in the am if I think I have done really good the day before (in between Fridays). The scale itself should not have so much power in our lives!!!

As we became older, our grandchildren are getting bigger and more active and we can't keep up with kids and grandkids anymore. It is also harder at an older age to carry around the same weight and just lately it has been really obvious physically and mentally. Other things are when we go on vacations and I can't truly…

So glad you are back friend:)))) Life is full of ups and downs and for serious, I could have been the author of your post!!! I was in onederland for a couple of months but I keep resisting to continue the downward trend:(( I am not giving up because I have too much to live for and I know you realize that too. We can do…

I would love to get into a loose 12! I would call myself thick from head to toe so it takes a good 20 lbs to loose one size!!!

I think it is so important to log them for many reasons: I want to see that I get as many whole foods as I can and some from each food group They are full of fiber and nutrients so you can actually see how you are doing in the "reports" section as far as getting all the good stuff in. They do have calories and we need to…

My first wool coat and a trip to the beach (I hope!)... Merry Christmas everyone:))

Maintaining during these last 2 months of the year is my game.. It still is a game sometimes with me and hopefully the future will change that. Just enjoy and eat a little less and move a little more. That's all I've got but I think it is all we need to hear:))))

Grains

"The Potter's Son". Awesome love story!!

Brunch is a thing of the past but if I could indulge, it would be 1 bite of everything on the buffet so I would have no regrets:))

Upped my calories and started logging faithfully again. And, started drinking more water to help kick the old habits like drinking pop....

I am trying to break the "loaded" pop habit because it has too much sugar and have never drank diet pop. You asked about my thoughts so I will tell you both types of pop are not good for the body because they have no nutritional value. Too many foods out there in this category!!!

Wonder Land

Doll is my only pet name and it's OK....

My only comment is: what is Christmas all about and why does it bring the worst out in some people? Follow the spirit of Christmas and all will be well in your house. We are a couple in our 50's now so traveling isn't a big deal now but when we lived 13 hours from family we traveled every year with 3 children to be with…

Maintain at the least after I lose a couple of lbs that I have just gained in November. I am going to work on "in moderation" this December because I know that is a weak spot in my health journey.. I am really hoping to get one more additional lb off before Jan 1...:)

I am finding that portions are always a lot smaller than what I would like to consume.... I have been eating 1 bite portions of some deserts and find that they can be almost 100 calories!! Before then, I thought a bite of anything couldn't hurt anything, huh...
