I am your age, an avid reader and also had some medical issues before I decided to "tow the line." After 4 months of eating healthy, logging everything I put in my mouth, weighing and measuring my food and staying within my calorie allowance, my last blood work showed normal cholesterol and glucose. I started to exercise…

:huh:

I thought about doing that!! Now I will with your testimony.. Thanks!

1/4 cup part skim ricotta 1/2 tsp. almond extract ground cinnamon to taste truvia or other artificial sweetner to taste Mix it all together , toast an english muffin and spread the ricotta mixture on top. Voilla! Yummy.

I can't believe they are still feeding women HRT. My sister, my sister-in-law and I all took HRT for many years. All three of us were diagnosed with breast cancer before 60 yrs. old. We were all tested generically and do not carry the Bracca (sp?) gene. We lived in different areas hours away from each other and I believe…

I hear you. I solved boredom on the treadmill by putting a television in the room. I record all my favorite hour long dramas (Chicago PD, Gang related, Tyrrany etc.) and then I watch while I'm on the treadmill. Time flies by and get to watch my favorite shows. So far so good. Couldn't do it just to music. I, too would be…

I don't know what you do for a living but you should be a writer! Well said and quite funny. Congrats on your current wt. loss too. We kind of had the same motivation to finally "do it". I had 35 lbs to lose and had high bp, cholesterol and slightly elevated blood sugar, thyroid crapped out and I said, that's it. I do not…

I just posted a similar comment on my home page. I had 89 days of good honest effort and then just lost my mojo. You CAN do it and so can I. Let's do it together. I am sending you a friend request and making a pledge to get back on track today. People fall but it how you get back up that counts.:smile:

I did 4.2 miles on the treadmill today. Plan to do at least one more mile with Ls tonight .

Amen Ann!! Vance's sweat comment is rather weird. :laugh: And yes, it would be nice if she made a new DVD with less instruction and better music. (and if she stopped cackling about "moving the furniture')

Well said! Perhaps your friend will have more motivation when she sees how strong you are. But, if not, you sound determined and will be successful by yourself if you remain so motivated. I think if you go to a gym, you will make new friends that are more serious in their journey. If you don't go to the gym, maybe you…

You are all so funny and have helped me to not hate myself when I tell her to "shut the heck up!" I find her quite irritating but it is a love hate relationship. Her cackle- like laugh drives me nuts. And the bit about the posture is my selection for her to change the wording. Shoulders back and in line with your…

Thank you. 2morrow the treadmill will be fixed.

Three miles with Leslie S this morning. Treadmill being fixed tomorrow. I am way behind my stated goal for this month.:sad: 15 miles this far. Hope to pick it up now.

I'm not sure there is a right way or a wrong way. As I said in my answer to the OP, you have to play around with the numbers. I have NOT been eating back my calories and am only losing a half a pound a week. I am going to start eating back some of my exercise calories and see how that goes. Have you been successful not…

I left wt. watchers for the same reason. It just stopped working. I find MFP easier and I like that there is a bigger emphasis on macronutrients. I am more conscious of hitting my protein and carb and fats and sodium with this program then I was on WW. I am 67 and there really is something to the theory that it gets harder…

Good morning fellow walkers. I thought I'd share this with you. This group has really motivated me. Aside from broken treadmills, new TV's (a SMART TV that is actually smarter then me cause I can't figure it out) and being unable to work my blue ray with the new TV, I am finding a way to do my walks. Late last night, and…

Thank you for the encouragement. Yes, when you by something brand new and 2 months later it stops working it is disappointing. No, maddening actually. LOL

2 more miles with LS tonight. Total for month thus far is 12 miles.

3 mile power walk today. Total of 10 miles so far this month.

Treadmill should be fixed this week. My TV and Blue Ray not working. Got new but being electronically challenged, I can't get them to work properly to even get youtube. So....I've been gardening in early morning to beat the heat in an effort to burn some calories.. I am taking my LS dvd to my son's today and will do 3…

Delicious !!! I have one a night. Kills the chocolate urge.

With an attitude like yours, I'm not surprised you have been successful. Congrats to you and most of all, thanks for being so thoughtful and kind enough to share your inspiration with us. :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

What about sugar free jams or Smuckers 50 % less sugar. These come in all flavors.

Took the day off yesterday as I have a low back strain and didn't want to overdue. I did first three miles of LS 5 mile Ultimate Weight Loss dvd today. I usually pump it up and do a jog when they walk but took it slow today. If all goes well, I will try to do another mile this evening. Carol P in SC:smile:

I am not looking for a mate. BUT.....I recently joined a women's "get together" group in my area. About a week later I got an email from some man who saw I had just joined this group and read my profile and thought we could share our lives and be companions to each other?????? Mind you it was a 60+ women's group and this…

I'll aim for 60 miles this month. July 1 - Did 4 miles with LS Ultimate 5 mile walk

I can't remember where, but I once read that if your were to do your workout outside in cold weather, you would burn more calories. So my guess also would be that doing nothing in cold weather would still burn more calories.

I just joined this group today. I was doing a 5K on a brand new treadmill each day for last 2 months. Then, it croaked on me. Had to call the factory as it is still on warranty. I don't know how long it will take for them to get their butts here to fix it. Disappointing to say the least but I have 2 of Leslie Sansone's…
