Hi everybody. My friends call me Ollie. I live in NYC. I'm 88 yrs old and active for my age. I have two daughters and a grandson, 21 yrs old and granddaughter 4 years old. I'm living in Ct. at this time with my grandchildren and their mother and father who need my help. I'm learning how to be old without fussing. That's…

I read in one of the blogs, I think, about staying within a certain pulse level tp efficiently burn fat calories. Can anyone tell me what date that blog was so I can reread it.

Today I weighted 155.1 so I am not happy at all. I really thought I would do better because I exercised harder. I have decided to try the 5/2 diet again. I managed to lose for awhile on it. Maybe my body will finally give it up and let me get past this plateau. I can't do any more exercise than I'm doing. If I eat any less…

I'm happy for you. Keep going. Apparently this challenge is good for you too.

Started at 156. Today the scale said 154.5 If it doesn't go back up during the week I think I will have finally broken the plateau. This challenge has really been good for me.

I have similar a problem. I have difficulty just before bedtime. Then I want something sweet. It is so hard to resist. I joined the 4 week challenge and one of my goals in the challenge is to stop doing that. We are on our 2nd week now and I managed to control it so far because of that goal in that challenge. Keep trying.…

I seem to have lost 1 lb. To reach my goal by the end of the 4th week I need to lose 2 more lbs. This challenge has been good for me. It has motivated me to exercise and has kept me from eating something sweet before going to bed which were my challenges for the 4 weeks.

Ida Cohen My goals: 1. to break the plateau I have suffered for two months. I'm at 156lbs. I would like to lose 3 lbs in the 4 weeks. 2. to not eat anything sweet just before I go to bed. That is a tremendous challenge. 3. to exercise at least 30 minutes a day. 4. to log in my diary every day during the week. (Weekends I…

I love potato chips and I love milk chocolate. Together, I don't think so. One would spoil the other, not enhance the other.:ohwell:

Your post is great. I printed it and will use your advice. Thanks for taking the time.

Thanks for the understanding. I am rooting for you and me.

I am cycling, stationary bike, and doing strength exercise and cardio exercises in a therapy pool. It has been helpful. Last night I had very bad back pain. I think I did something wrong yesterday. So today no strength exercises. I think when something like that happens it is best to take a break and give the muscles a…

Thanks. I think I am doing OK. Today I lost so I feel fine. Tomorrow???Nights are hardest but I seem to be changing.

I have tried all week to telephone the number on the bottle. Get the busy signal. I hope this is the company. I plan to go to the address you have given me Monday 10/7.

Thanks loads. I get it. People on the program can see whatever I post. Others not on the program can't. I understand a little how these posts work. I guess it just takes time. I'm an old lady so using a computer is confusing to me no matter what I'm doing.

What is an HRM. I have a scale to use for food. Your post is very informative.
