My husband is 13yrs younger than me, we have been married 18yrs ...so it can work : )

Purely inspired organic protein french vanilla

I will join..53 and its time to show myself some tough love, I worry with the holidays and snow right around the corner..what I am trying right now is 1 cheat day ( Only as many calories as my maintenance cals allow) I heard the extra calories shock the system and speeds up your metabolism, we will see how that goes and I…

Thats what mine was doing so reason why I was looking for a more accurate scale..I think I am going to try the Eatsmart precision digital scale...24,000 reviews almost 5 stars on Amazon :)

So today we start I take it..I guess I will just log back here on Jan 1st! :) Starting at 191...176 here I come!

I was wondering about the Eatsmart precision digital its a glass scale as well, very high reviews on Amazon

Feel free to add me :)

Me too 53 with 50 to go I have been lingering at my same weight a loooong time..lose 1 gain 1 you get the picture :/

I'm in

Even tho I am still going to try my 7 day trial (can't hurt right?) Considering i felt pretty ok 2 weeks ago I will definitely bring this issue up with my Doctor next time I see him Thank you so much for all the output!!

I am but not 100% I use lactose free milk and really limit any other dairy i might have 1 slice of cheese once a week etc...my doctor said as we get older we don't produce the enzyme to breakdown lactose like we did when we were younger

Melissa I am so sorry for what you have been through! My dad had been treated here (in vermont) for years with RA and moved to a bigger state with obviously more advanced doctors and found out he never had RA, he does have arthritis and i am in the beginning stages of it..and yes I have a few joints that got quite abused…

Thank you Hope..I was just starting to research and stepping out here to ask questions

Ok looks like i need to make a phone call

I saw alot of that in my readings but they also mentioned try the 7 day test of going gluten free and see if it makes a difference..mine seems to be mostly joints

Thank you everyone for all the great tips.. gonna work towards 12c doing 8c right now plus all the xtra water will take the place of some of the food! I just better not wander off to far at first! ;)

I kinda figured it varied per person based on lifestyles, locations,health etc..working as a health aide for almost 30yrs you see quite the variety..I was just looking for a base line and I myself would need additional water due to my health I want to make sure I take in enough especially with the cold weather coming :|

Thats true..i remember seeing something where you multiplied your weight by something to get how many ounces you were to drink (at least) daily..just can't remember where i saw it

Ok makes sense thank you

I really do like how MFP works but like any plan you need a support team :) May i add you?

Hi and good luck! I joined fitnesspal a week ago...and I am finding it a lot easier to track my food then other programs I have joined..no writing or calculating fitnesspal does it all for you : )
