I am 65 years old and just over 5ft and started MFP a year ago at 168 lbs and at the moment am at 136 lbs; that has been using a 1200 cal goal; I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes so have cut down carbohydrate which reduced my calorie intake and also thankfully reduced my blood sugar levels and my weight. I used the…

for fruit I have berries like strawberries etc as they have far less carbs

I am from Yorkshire. I am the older generation though and will be 65 in three weeks.

sending you a friend request if that is O.K.? I am 64 and recently diagnosed too.

mine have been cracking and popping for years ....since childhood .......and I have got to 64 yrs old OK.

thanks pet. x

I have sent you a friend request x

I get confused with carb quantities per day; only just been diagnosed with type 2 ; diabetic nurse at surgery is off om holiday and the other nurse just said cut down on carbs and didn't know what the allowance was and have another blood test in 3 months. I am trying not to go over 130 grams a day but is this too much a…

64

on Saturdays I have good old normal food and always go over the limit; your boddy needs a boost of good old fashioned eating once in a while to kick start the metabolism again!

I am 61 but people think I am mid 50s

I have a lttle 18yr old black cat called Poppy who is an attention seeker and a 4yr old huge ginger one called pepper and despite times of being very loving can be a bully too!

once it is there then that is it....think very very carefully before you take the plunge

yes I often fill it in in advance....gives me a better picture of caloroe intake that way. It also helps me decide whether i need more carb or fibre or protein in the last meal of the day xx

There are plenty of non alcoholic beers /lagers out there that are very low in calories.the other tool is will power! ha ha

I put on 5lbs last September on holiday and that really set me back; it is only this week that MY HEAD IS RIGHT AGAIN TO GET CRACKING! Come on girl WE CAN DO IT! I reset my weight and disregarded the 23 lbs lost in the past and am now targeting another 16 lbs from fresh and I will be happy. Christmas may get int the way…

Hi there; this site WORKS!! but only if you treally want it too. xxxxx

I f you could see and taste the cup cakes my daughter makes as a hobby you would let them slowly melt in you mouth and savout every minute of eating them........ as for the designs she does they are out of this world! shop bought ones are just not right somehow! ha ha

this is where you need to be............. I love this site and have found it very successful for me. goos luck xxxxx

treat yourself to some nice new ones.............. mine went similar and the new ones gave me renewed motivation as they even weigh down to the ounce! ha ha

I often land up lower...I too am sat at a desk ; however i do go mad on a saturday night with a chicken Balti and garlic naan which helps kick start my metabolism again for the next week ahead ( or so i tell myself). I feel that as long as the diet has the right mix and not made up of crisps and biscuits sticking mostly to…

I make up 4 sugar free jellies and then eat them with a blob of low fat yoghurt on the top..you can add frsh fruit too if you want.

I was once at the same stage as you..take it slow but sure and do it! Instant results are impossible but when you get three months down the line your jealousy will have disappeared. xx

It makes me happy when people actually notice I have lost weight when they don't know I have been dieting so I know it is a genuine comment. I must be looking better for them to say it. I will be happier still when and if I lose another stone.xxxxx

I don't actually drink alcohol but I find that becks blue non alcoholic lager is tasty and quite low in calories

Maybe your scales battery is running low as that can affect readings

Just for today i will try not to get complacent.............. I need to be positive. xx

Just for today i will start over again after my birthday wekend

Just for today: I will try to live through this day only, and not tackle all my problems at once. I can do something for twelve hours that would appall me if I felt that I had to keep it up for a lifetime. Just for today: I will be happy., Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be. Just for today: I will…

I joined last Thursday and I want to lose about a stine and a half before my holiday in August
