Thanks for the recipe!:happy: I love to cook and collect and try new recipes all the time!! We grow zucchini in our garden every year so this will give me a new way of cooking zucchini:bigsmile:

LOL! I am 62 years old and have osteoporosis and a chronic kidney disease. Life's too short!! Get up and move!! Everyone can do something to be active....I am fixing to start doing zumba:happy: I am doing everything I can possibly do to stay active. I am also helping my husband to remodel and paint the outside of our…

bugs? :sick: That would be a sure way for me to lose weight!:laugh: I'd probably starve to death if that was all on the menu:noway: :laugh:

Think positive thoughts....think them out loud!! I can do this and I will do this however long it takes!! We didn't gain extra weight overnight and we won't lose it overnight. Just think of it as not a diet but a change in how much you eat...and what you eat. I think 1-1/2 pounds is great for 10 days:happy: I have been at…

hey:happy: Glad to have you join us! We are all in this together. There are a lot of people on here who can encourage and answer any questions you have. I love being able to track what I am taking in and what I am burning in exercise. I use to sit and try to add it all up looking at a calorie count book and punching…

I think you have just taken the first important step by joining up and starting your journey with everyone else.:flowerforyou: The advice you get and the tips you receive from others sure will encourage you and help you on your way. Have questions ...just post them and there are many out there who have been there and they…

I weigh only once a week first thing in the morning before I get dressed. That is the weight I record. Sometimes I gain a pound and sometimes I see I've lost a pound. Most of the time its just water gain. If I know I am recording everything I have ate and being active then I don't worry about it because most of the time…

hey! We are glad to have you aboard and join us in our journey together to a healthier life style :) You will meet a lot of nice people here and we all support one another's trip to a leaner life style ! You can add me as a friend if you like.

I don't have cheat meals either. I eat what ever I want that fits into my calorie count for the day. I am careful about serving sizes . I hardly ever eat fried foods because it doesn't agree with me. I don't feel like I am on a diet at all. I am losing weight now...slowly but surely and in the mean time I am learning to…

People driving so close to your bumper down the road..that drives me crazy! Sometimes they are so close it looks like you are towing them!! Really people...leave home earlier if you need to be somewhere that bad you risk your life and innocent drivers. If something was to run out in front of me and I had to brake I know…

I am listening..and I have decided that I will cut out soda and drink lots of water to see what happens. I think I will allow myself maybe one soda if we go out with friends and stop there. Here goes nothing....I may have a lot to lose:laugh: That's the point of doing the calorie thing. Also I have a chronic kidney disease…

always the truth....lies don't help me make changes...I really listen!

When I was a teenager I weighed 98 pounds soak and wet with clothes and shoes on. I was walking with a friend one day and thought I was looking pretty good. There were a couple of guys walking behind us and I heard one of them say to the other , " I bet she can sing like a bird......she's got the legs of one". I was…

Feel free to add me! :))

I was at a standstill and didn't seem able to get my pounds to drop. I was eating less than 1200 calories a day! When I upped my calories to between 1200 and 1300 ( thats considering exercise) wow! I started seeing my weight drop a pound or two at a time here recently...so it working for me so far!! I really didn't expect…

I have a bulging disc in my back that makes it hard for me to exercise but i do about 20 min of 2.5 mph walking every day. My doctor also told me to use alternating ice packs and hot packs when it flairs up. I found out the hard way...sit ups only make it worse. Maybe someone could give us a heads up on some other exercise…

I have a bulging disc in my lower back which makes it very hard to exercise. I do about 20 minutes of 2.5 walking on my treadmill everyday. Sit ups is out of the question for me. I have found that alternating ice back with hot packs helps when it flairs up.

Thank you for your reply. I needed that encouragement. I may be 62 but I still like to look pretty and feel fit. I garden and my husband and I like working in the yard together. This is for me! This is for my five grandchildren! Thank you so much.
