Back from our cruise..we had a absolutely wonderful time. Did lots of walking, took the stairs instead of the elevators some of the time. That depended on how my back was behaving..stairs can be super painful..but we did it! Haven't had a chance to weigh myself yet..but was on the move almost all day. Went to our local…

I find I am super excited about our cruise. We just got upgraded to a suite..so we will have our own balcony to just sit and take in the wonderful ocean breezes. We are going out of Charleston, SC and cruising down to Nassau and the Bahamas. I am looking forward to the fresh fruits, the salads and the seafood. It is soooo…

These comments were/are totally awesome and super appreciated. I never considered "banking" calories for different meals. I sort of thought that if I didn't meet my calorie amount for the day I was doing something wrong. There are days were I am literally just not hungry! So I don't eat much..I'm sure some of that is from…

I was totally amazed about this when I read it. What an awesome thing to do..and her age just shows that numbers are just that...a number. We can do anything we put our mind to...if we want it bad enough.

Hi Linda...welcome aboard. Would love to be friends..I truly believe you can never have enough..

Be super happy to add you as a friend...I love having new friends. :smile:

Awesome...grandkids are the joy of life.

Happy Birthday! Hope the day was filled with love , laughter and all the things you hold precious. May the Universe shower you with its Blessings, today and every day. :bigsmile:

Hi Jean, Admitting that it IS a struggle..and letting us know, means you really are on the right track. I find just being able to express my fears, thoughts, triumphs and failures here has made the whole process really doable for me. I found that some of your ideas are new to me and give me a great idea for keeping on the…

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

I certainly hope I wasn't the one you unfriended. I'm still learning my way around and getting used to watching what I eat , not to mention having to put down what I eat. Makes cheating just a tad embarrassing to me..ehhehehehhe. More for myself than anyone else. I hope we can all help each other out...:bigsmile:

I just realized that you can enter a menu and they will calculate the figures...wow I've been sort of guesstimating!

Welcome to the group! So far I have had a great time here...I'm really starting to watch what I eat..and am finding it not to be onorous at all :laugh:

So, I have printed out all the exercises and am going to put them right by my stationery bike so I am reminded to do them. I can't thank you enough for giving me sense of direction on how to accomplish my goals. You and all of you in this group are proving to be a true inspiration for me! thank you sooooo much :drinker:

Hi! My name is Barbara and I live in South Carolina...would love to be friends with you. Like you said..support is a biggie when losing weight. This is the first time I am finding success in a very long time... :happy:

Well, we are still on vacation but food wise I've been doing pretty good..much to my surprise! Haven't had a chance to do the exercises listed but have been on the go almost everyday..out with the grandkids, up and down stairs, just in motion for a good part of the day. I can't tell you all , how happy I am to have found…

Happy August to all my new friends :flowerforyou: I hope this month brings you all success and lots forward momentum. Looking forward to the future with an optimistic heart. Blessed Be...:drinker:

What a great Idea...Once I get to where we are going..I'm going to try and do this. Thank you for sharng.

Learning to change our eating habits is probably the hardest thing to do..have no fear, we are here to cheer!

As a retired nurse, I totally understand how our bodies change as we age. Our metabolism slows down and with it comes health issues, medications and all the rest. BUT...we still take pride in our appearance, how we look to ourselves and to others. So I am finding that this is the perfect place to move ahead with weight…

Welcome !! I've been to London..once and it was amazing. What an awesome place. Hope to get back there and to Scotland one of these days.
