OK, year later and ten pounds heavier. I am starting again with MFP. I quit work. I have an injured knee, so I am slowed down. Here is my plan: I am going to walk 1 hour to mass, spend an hour in mass (and maybe 20 minutes in confession line) and walk back for an hour. That should put me on the right track. I will be…

Hi all, Let's keep this blog going. I need it. Did you all exercise today? How much did you consume? Are you done working, at the verge of quitting or done with it? Do you think money affects your diet and exercise

Well, I am only 65 but most of my friends are in their 70s. May I join the conversation?

I am 65, and I was wondering the same thing myself. My thought is that at 70 we begin dying, by 85 most of us will have passed. I do have to wonder if it is time to give up. WHat do you think?

Hi I am 65. I am the oldest person at work, and am unpopular with the new management, who really doesn't know me. I am an "at will" employee. This is stressing me out. Maybe they will fire me, which is not the way I wanted to go out of my 50 years of work life. Feeling sad about this.

Hi, I hope you get this. I am 64.5 years old. I have been losing and gaining 12 pounds all of my adult life. Recently I did find I can slowly lose weight with exercise and diet on myfitnesspal.com using their calculations. However, I quit and regained the 12 pounds. Frankly, I think I lose weight better without exercise,…

I just want to add that the fact that you weighed and got a reality check is more than I have been able to do. I admire you for it.

I feel your pain. I think you just took a step by writing on here.

how do I find this thread when I want it? help help help. By tomorrow I won't be able to find it, I fear. By the way, I bought Eddie Bauer men's tall (long) jeans relaxed . Don't get the regular jeans mens in your size. The men's tall (long) jeans have an extra inch and half in the rise (longer zipper).

Thank you all. I just want it to be easy, I want to indulge myself constantly, I like to cook and eat for a hobby, I love love love food. But I am going to start again and work on these things. I will stay away from food as a hobby and use the time for something else. Reading comes to mind, because I already have enough…

I binge under many circumstances, but did it last weekend because there was so much socialization I was committed to and I am an introvert. I do love my friends, but not so much group socialization. Next time (this coming weekend for a bridan shower) I am going to have a backpack/car/purse/house full of vegetables to munch…

quick!!! Get to the store and get foods you can binge on.

By the way, I do feel sorry for you, but in a good way, not a mean way.

I am depressed and feeling insignificant at home today. Let's both persevere just for today and avoid making things worse. Yesterday I felt the same way and managed to just binge on low-calorie stuff which luckily was around. I also can be too lazy to get stuff to take care of myself. I did allow myself just to relax…

Hi, I am 64. I work out lightly for 25 minutes 6 days a week, mostly cardio which I enjoy. 65. To lose weight I have to eat about 1400 calories a day. This seems like nothing, and is hard to do. Yourself?

Right now I am upset. I bought a pan on ebay. THis was a feat for me. Then it was not delivered (fed ex). THe seller was going to reimburse me (I guess ebay sellers have some insurance with fed ex). This money was to go to something called a paypal account. I decided to ask ebay how to use the paypal thing. This magically…

hi. I AM 5 FT 10.5 INCHES. Got up to 161 and felt fat. Now at 152ish 3 months later. Feeling trim, but not the svelt that could be wonderful. Now is when I usually self sabotage, but reading these with goals of 140 could save me. I read that self sabotage as you near a goal can somehow be helped by changing your mind to…

Oh, I would make a fake pizza real low calories and splurge on it. Friday I am having toasted cheese sandwiches, but I am going to steam broccoli and put it on there with tomatoes too. My friend and I are making the cheese, and cooking in oil or butter. YUM, but LOTS of calories. So I am skipping breakfast and snacks that…

I guess you read the book "the wild" or saw the movie. About a girl who hiked it. Real story. Inspiring. I am not into backpacks. Prefer hour hikes, camas lake hikes. Try them. They are lovely.

sounds like a challenge. only put on a brave face when you must. I appreciate your sincerity here. Keeping a brave face on for the sake of other's comfort is exhausting.

Walked 1.1 miles each way to McDonald's for a bacon salad (320 calories). It was my lunch with some beans.

I hope you have a food processor. For ice cream like a Wendy's chocolate frosty do this: Take a freezer ice tray. Fill half with nonfat milk, and the other with coffee. Freeze. Also freeze half or more of a very ripe banana. Into the food processor put: frozen banana, 2 or more tablespoons cocoa powder (Hershey's cocoa), 2…

what are you all doing for trveling vegetables? All I can figure out is V8 or canned tomatoe juice. Both of those are fine, of course.

I just use a digital I bought at a chain store. It does ok. It changes a bit if I place it in different locations on the same floor. I don't mind it.

I sure can get depressed about it. But if it were not the fat, I could name a dozen other reasons to be depressed. The fat is at minimum a diversion from the other reasons. Good lluck

Well, I had some tingling in my feet. A blood Ac1 test was done that showed borderline prediabetes, though my glucose was in the normal range. My doctor did not catch it in the report, so I am not going to point it out to her. I am stopping binging on candy bars. Period. I am binging on my chocolate sugar free smoothy…

Order a side order of vegetables when we go out tonight (which I did not want to do). Order seltzer water to drink. Forget budget since I wanted to stay home and eat healthier food. Stay in my calorie amount. Don't hold a grudge about this. Relax

Hi, Yay you!!! Great that you have God standing by you always.

I emailed to two states and asked them about estate taxes. This should get me some answers to provide direction. Tired of just guessing if this and if that

You got it. Keep posting. They can knock us down now and then, but we get up!! Let's find out what force is behind the drive to eat and strategize to reposition that force for good.
