Restarting today! Feel miserable and don't want to get back on BP medication. 60 lbs to goal.

Hubby mentioned a couple days ago my butt looked smaller so decided to measure today. 1 inch off waist and hips!! Hope another inch will come off with the next 10 lb loss. Need to up the exercise. Still too hot in OK to get out and walk unless I get up at 0-dark-30.

Bummer, I was two pounds more too, but know for a fact it's retention. Went to a catfish place and ordered the catfish special (which I really don't like) so sat and nibbled on hush puppies while everyone else ate fish and beans. Should have just got a salad. Still not drinking enough water but it's getting better. This…

Goal this week is to up my water quota. For some reason, I'm finding this extremely difficult lately. Surprising since it's been so hot here.

My "go to" green drink is actually juiced. Green apple, celery, cucumber, carrot, green pepper, kale/spinach and a slice of fresh ginger. I pour this over ice with a little seltzer water. Favorite smoothie isn't green but its mango, banana, homemade yogurt, almond milk and ice. When I crave extra sweets I put in a spoonful…

Glad to see other juicers here. I had a Waring juicer that I got at Sam's several years ago. It was OK but finally bit the dust. Immediately ordered a mid-range Cuisanart and like it sooooo much better. Takes bigger chunks of produce and is much quieter. I'm hooked on smoothies for breakfast and am trying to switch to…

Husband is type II diabetic and I have autoimmune liver disease so the cleaner we eat the better off we are. Weight loss is an added benefit. I'm on steroids so have put on over 30 pounds in the past three years. Would love to see that go away. We are in our mid 60's and just want to stay healthy to enjoy our hard-earned…

Get a nice mixutre of 50% fruit, 50% veggies and then they have add-ons for additional $$. Today I got 36 lbs of apples for $27 so have been…

Not a big fan of swiss chard but a couple weeks ago had an abundance in my Bountiful Basket. Also had a lot of kale from the garden that needed picking. Blanced both with some parsley and spinach, blended it up with a small amount of water to make it pourable and froze the whole mess in ice cube trays. Now when I make a…

Another one looking to lose 30+ by next summer. Have our 50 year HS class reunion coming up. Was always skinny in my teens and early adult life. For the past three years have been on high doses of steriods for an autoimmune disease and have really packed the weight on. Have now got it under control and am on a very low…

Glad you listed the ingrediants. My SlimFast story turned into a 3-year nightmare. Have used it off and on for quick weight loss for years with no problem. Three years ago I got hooked on Cappicino flavored SlimFast. Was buying it at Sam's by the cartons. Went for checkup, triglycerides were sky high (wonder why?). Dr. put…

Hi Pansyviolet, Looks like we have about the same goal in mind. Sometimes I think a 20-30 pound goal is harder than a 100 pound goal and people don't always understand that. I usually just keep my mouth shut when trying to lose weight because all I get is "Oh, you're just fine the way you are" or "You are tall and carry…

Another new senior citizen. Have been using my medical condition as an excuse for weight gain over past 3 years. Was diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis and was on large doses of Prednisone which made me eat like a pirahna. Now have it under control and am only taking 2.5 mg daily and still eating like crazy. Over the past…
