Hi, I'm Deb, 62. Been on the journey since Feb., and have lost 26 pounds so far. I've been stalled for a month now, and have about 40 pounds to go. Feel free to add me. None of us can do this alone, but together we can support, encourage, and help each other stay on track!!

sounds good!

Hey, Stephie!! Check out the recipe section on the forums. There are some great recipes there. I use my slow cooker all the time, especially in the colder months.

check out youtube for chair exercises, a lot of videos on there...designed mainly for seniors or w/c people but at least it's something!!

Romy, I like doing stir fry veggies with chicken, pork, or beef strips; it's quick and healthy. Try an omelet with peppers, onions, mushrooms, or whatever. Get yourself a slow cooker/crock pot...throw some stuff in, turn it on low when you leave in the morning, and there will be a hot meal ready when you get home. Maybe on…

Hi, I'm from Ontario Canada. I turned 62 in March. I've been at this since Feb. and as of today, I've lost 23 pounds. I still have at least 40 to go. I can sympathize over the lousy winter...it was never ending!! I did most of my walking inside. Finally getting nicer outside so I'm out walking a bit each day, and doing…

I'm trying to increase my good cholesterol right now too. Fish, especially salmon, is an excellent source. Also, berries, blueberries, raspberries. Dark chocolate is good, and so are flax seeds. Beans are another good source...white, kidney, chick peas, etc. If you're trying to lower your LDL too, olive oil, oatmeal,…

I've been doing well eating my fruits and veggies. I usually limit my fruit to one or two a day (I'm diabetic) but today I had 3..a banana, some rhubarb, and some raspberries. A big salad for lunch and stir fry veggies for supper. Today's total was 12. I only aim to have 9 servings of fruits and veggies a day, but most…

I just got Samsung but it's a 3. I downloaded Map My Walk and Map My Fitness. They both sync up with MFP. I haven't tried to do it yet but I know a lot of people on here use both these apps!!

Hi all. I'm 62, and, like most of you that have posted, it's harder to lose weight now than when I was younger. It's a longer, slower journey. I know it's worth the effort, and I shouldn't compare this journey to previous ones, but it's hard not to do that!! Don't misunderstand me. I'm proud of losing the weight I've lost…

Sorry folks! I can't update you on the veggie bread by Country Harvest. No veggie bread left in the store yesterday! I did see another brand, Dempster I think, but it only had half a serving of veggies; wasn't worth $4.00 for 12 slices of bread!! I'd rather have some real veggies!!

The veggie bread is made by Country Harvest, at least in Canada. There are 2 different kinds; I've only tried the tomato one. It's pretty good. I like it toasted and put tomato or cucumber slices on it. I'm picking up a loaf of the other one today to give it a try. Will post more fully on both later today, or tomorrow…

Count me in, Sue! At this time of the year, I love my salads! I eat a lot of stir fry year round. Veggie bread is a good source, three servings in each slice! I haven't had any trouble getting in 9 servings a day, and some days more!!

I too am in the process of quitting. I started off with Mar.15th as my quit date. I went for 9 days without a smoke Felt really good about it, and didn't find I was gaining weight because I was being diligent with what I was eating, and meeting my calorie goals. Then I caved and smoked for a couple of days,then quit again.…

I'm curious to see the other replies you get to this. I tend to eat the same things all the time too, with a slight variation in my meat and snacks. I've been losing so far, but I'm afraid I may end up stalled eventually, and may have to switch my foods around a bit.

good advice here

Thank you for writing this, Sue. Like you, I am in my sixties. I wish someone had said this to me when I was younger. You are an inspiration!!
