I'm going to select a couple of pieces that I HATE...that represent my frustration with being fluffy -- and have BON FIRE! A ceremonial fire to let go of that person, that way of life, and those awful clothes to help close the door on returning to this size. The rest, I will give to appropriate charities to help people who…

Well, I DO care! Get out there, Handsome! If that's you in the photo, you don't want to lose that amazing healthy body you have! I used to be thin, healthy and able to tackle any physical activity I wanted to. Now, I go for a strenuous walk, and I can't walk the rest of the day. This happens when you get older if you don't…

Thank you! Yes, that's India. She was only 1 year old, and that was the happiest day of my life. I never dreamed I'd get to touch such an amazing creature! I think Turkey Burgers sound like a great idea! Best wishes, Shea

HerBlackWings and 1OoAliciaoO1: Oh, thank you guys! I didn't realize that -- no wonder I'm hungry! :-) I appreciate your help in understanding this. Can you refer me to where you learned about it? I'm feeling in need of remedial education in this area. I also find it is easy to have my sugar, fat and protein go over. I'm…

Hi Crystalrosely, I'm new here too, but this is what I think happens with the calories: My daily goal is to consume up to a maximum 1200 calories. If I eat only 900 calories, then I have a 300 calorie deficit / or 300 calories still available to eat. If I exercise and burn 400 calories, then we add that to the 1200 to…

In my 20's, I lost quite a lot of weight running and I also used to bike 30 miles once a week. I ate anything I wanted to. The body is wonderful at that age. Now in my upper 40's, I can't exercise like that for lack of energy and time, plus I'm much larger now. Be careful if you use this approach though. You will jump…

Thank you for all for your responses, and for the original post. Knee pain is making it tough to meet my walking goals too. A hot soak in a deep water bath helps heal the soreness for me, but I don't know how to prevent it when walking. I'm going to find my knee braces and see if they will absorb some of the shock. A 1-day…
