I don't blame anyone for not understanding it.....it DOES take a while to sink in....but any time you go too long without eating, your body thinks that you are starving and is really good at holding onto fat (lowering of your metabolic rate, etc). Also, experience tells many people that they can lose weight sometimes by…

My theory is that we eat well and exercise reasonably and let the poundsfall where they may! The stoopid ol' scale may surprise us from time to time (in either direction), but in the L-O-O-O-O-O-N-G run, it will reflect our good habits........and we also will be HEALTHIER!!:drinker: !!!:drinker:

Also, good toknow for all sorts of random activities (including intimate relations:embarassed: ): go to caloriesperhour.com and you can find lots of info.

You don't mention how much below your calories you were....and I am assuming you added all of your exercise calories and ate them, too. It is amazing, but it works in the long run to eat everything you are allowed on your plain! A big amen to what doctor k said....keep up the good work, esp the workouts!!!!

bump and kudos :drinker:

PS, Banks knows a lot about HRM's

Yes, they are out there.....and I suppose they are more expensive..... I just went to Google and searched under "multiple users heart rate monitors" and came up with a number of sites to look at..... good luck! :flowerforyou:

Hey, another 60-yr-old grandmother! Stay around here and you should have great success.....read a lot of tips and it is practically a sure thing! This is a great site! :drinker:

It doesn't take much to make me feel good.....like one person saying "you look good...." or " how much have you lost?" congrats on the loss!!! :flowerforyou:

Hi, my name is Debbie and I am a peanut butter addict. I ordered the PB2 from bell plantation and have found it a pretty good substitute, but not "the same" as good old JIf......still, when I just need a little fix, it serves the purpose and often keeps me from falling off the wagon! :ohwell:

Welcome! I just stumbled across this and it has been great for me. I have recommended it to everyone whether they have 10 or 200 pounds to lose!!!!! I have a friend who underwent bariatric surgery (gastric bypass) and spent the most horrendous 6 months of her life getting her body under control....a coma, many…

Banks, I have not been here much lately, but thanks for the info re: your baseball season....sounds like your fitness has done the team a lot of good, unless you have always been this good! :happy: Ba-da-BUMP!

RATATOUILLE!!!!!! You all must try this....it is the best stuff ever! I guess with the movie last year, everyone knows how to pronounce it, but you must eat the stuff. There are a bunch of recipes and all of them are great as far as I am concerned. Just Google ratatouille recipes and look for your personal fave. It can be…

This is when you could really use a treadmill!

Light and fit yogurt and a white cheddar rice cake, with a nice big glass of ice water.....fulfills both my needs for sweet and salty and fills me up! :flowerforyou:

Banks, you scored another hit. Maybe only us nerds with some science background care, I don't know, but I think it is great! kudos :drinker: PS: I haven't been around real regularly, so don't know if you have mentioned this, but how is the baseball season going?

Good news #1: Manda made it! :happy: Giood news #2: The drive was so traumatic that she may never want to leave! :wink:

Thanks for the update, I had been wondering. We'll keep him on the prayer list! :flowerforyou:

Good to see more of us "over 50's" here.....welcome! :flowerforyou: Here you go....a great line to use on your friends. My dad, after pasing 80 years of age, used to say: "I'm close to 80 ....(slight pause) ... but not as close as I used to be! He was a great wit/! So now you can tell people you are close to 50!

alrighty then.........(my bad) Whipped cream

Wow! That is so awesome! What an amazing feat! :drinker: Everyone who is discouraged should take note and see just how POSSIBLE it is. Interviewer: "and to what do you owe your success?"

Prayng God's perfect will! HE is good, all the time. :heart:

That's how I feel too.....I already have gone days or even a couple of weeks without logging and find that I can at least maintain, if not lose. SOOO all that being said, it appears to be an individual thing....kind of whatever you need/want to do! But isn't this a super-cool site???? Thanks Mike!

interesting way to put it....is that said with a British accent?

I AM a doctor (doctora) and I can say (in a very scientifically sound tone) that there IS a way to spot reduce fat: after a good day of healthy dieting and exercise, stand naked in front of a full-length mirror and stare very angrily :angry: :angry: at those areas you wish to reduce! well.....:ohwell: it works as well as…
