You are a walking miracle! Not many people can take off that much weight and have the motivaton not to gain it back. My daughter needs a workout buddly like you has lost 100 and over. The other daughter is a size 0. Then, there is me at a size 14. I don't blame myself for their eating issues. I make homemade nutritious…

My boyfriend wears jeans to the gymn, because he has worn them all his life. And he hasn't wore tennis shoes until the last 2 years. My dad won't wear shorts because he has chicken legs. He is a big strong man and then the chicken legs. Dad won't wear jogging pants. My boyfriend will wear those if it is cold out. My…

Bras. I put mine away in a basket when I retired. They are senseless. You put it on, and still they flop down after you take it off. They have those nice stick on Petals that cover the important part. I like those and it works for me.

I have DVDs at home for various exercises if you have the space and won't be bothering anyone or they bother you. Also, if not, or not going means quitting, then don't quit. Exercise is about health too, not just losing weight. That is my opinion.

Great job. That is my goal and I am also 5 ft. 7 or 5 ft. 8, depends on the hair and the person measuring. But yeah, the 140s will be great. People don't always relate to the ones no longer struggling. I will when I get there because I know how much work I put into it as you have.

I sleep too much sometimes, because I let the Arthritis get to me. But my weight is unaffected by it. If a person is sleep-deprived, however, which I was for years, weight gain is likely.

You are supposed to chew each bite 20 times . I try to remember it, but it is not easy. My late husband, who died at 48, told me we should stop eating pizza so fast like we did in college or he did. So, we slowed down most of the time. It was ironic and awful that he died choking on toast. Be careful chewing food and…

You motivate me even further. I eat potatoes too, and I eat sugar. I do watch salt so I don't retain too much water. My calories in and out are like you said. A WW's leader once said "incorporate your diet into your life. Don't make it your life". Sounds like you have the upswing on that. You rock this site!!

I would have to go with Kathy Griffin , only I would need some work done to look younger. People all my life have told me to audition to be a stand up comic. I know I could do it , but at my age, nobody would pay.

Yep, stayed the same as before, pleased about that.

English Leather, hope it's oK if the "old ladies" answer too, I w b 57 this Saturday. I can lift 20 pound curls, I can push a car out of a ditch. And I can work out more than some people half my age. He wear Axe brand Excite and Sports brand. Love those too.!

Gross! I did not have my glasses on one morning and fixed me some toast. Looked at the bread later and it was moldy (before the expiration date). Still, I kinda felt ill thinking about it.

Date, Spank, oh yes, and hug. Thrice married is enuf for me.

Maybe our grandmothers had it right with feed a cold and starve a fever.

Unless I become diabetic, I won't worry about sugar intake. unless all my calories go to it.

My height is 5 ft. 8. I weight 179 and my goal is a healthy 145. When I was 35, I weighed about 135 and that looked good. Now, I get a bird face at that weight. It depends on your build. I wear a size 9 or 10 shoe and have large wrists, which says I am at least Med to Large build. I throw that in the mix , I know people…

I have one too , most people know F U. So, if you really get mad, that one works too.

I guess even my kids are old because they do the proper texts and such. They are 34 and 37. You can give a little and they can too. Tell em to stop the BS and be respectful.

I am 56 and also retired and had the nice comfy 205 pound blanket for a year spell after my hub died, when I was on meds. Still, I ate and ate. I love the fact that you still care and I do also, you make me look forward to getting older. I started lying about my age to strangers and that is not like me. My mother never…

Co-workers like negativity, at least where I worked for many years. So, when the additional weight is off, you might here "she thinks she is hot now". And you will be, so some will be jealous. Just keep on smiling. All my 3 husbands and I did things separately,kind of thing for us boomers.

Customer service people who piss me off. One example, when my hub was alive 2 years ago toward the end, he wanted corned beef. I went to Shop n Save and the guy working said he had cleaned the machine and he was off in an hour. I said "then why don't you work a little bit"? Nope. So, I went over to Walmart and I swear this…

I have been that way for years. Lately I find that a Slimfast drink with fruit in it and Soy milk blended in, has helped me go. I noticed it right after I started drinking these for breakfast.

I am 56 and I make up my own. I don't like to use those lil letters on my phone and I have Arthritis in my hands. So, I just make up stuff and hope they get it. You oughta do it and act like they are not up on things.

My mom is deceased now, but one time she came over and I was younger then, we had to throw the beer cans under the bed, hub's whiskey bottle in the tub. Dishes went into the garbage temporarily, I thought it was funny and she did check for dust on the curtains. Ok, she gave looks, but showed her friend the rest of our new…

I want to loose 20 pounds so my pants will be lose. Ok, that used to bother me I am writing it so I won't get more wrinkles when it is used incorrectly. I am chewing on my bridge. ****.

I loved that, so many things people believe in and sometimes common sense works. I never read that particular idea of "Common Sense". People who have dieted for years know it, they just don't want to do it, where they might miss something SPECTACULAR, involving weight loss. There is nothing out there like that , which…

I see nothing wrong with it, since I know you will probably do a different plan after losing from this one. Nobody stays on it for life. People here are jumping ahead on this. You are kick-starting and then onto a regular diet to maintain, that is what I feel. I have Luna protein bars on hand for when I get in a hurry to…

I am stronger than both of my kids. One is 37 and the other is 33. I have been lifting since the hub was in the electric wheel chair. Lifted him a lot of times. So, when he died, I continued to lose weight. If a man wants a petite lil thing, he's barking up the wrong forrest. I am strong, kind and I have a lil Irish temper…
