Hi everyone! I would like to join this group. I had a mild concussion about 5 weeks ago and couldn't exercise, go to the gym, etc and I gained back the 7 pounds that I had lost prior to that! :-( I should lose about 20 pounds which includes the 7 that I regained! Looking forward to being part of this great group of 50+…

6 feet = me! I LOVE being tall except for the frustration of trying to find clothes and shoes that are a good fit. :grumble:

Gosh! Don't be so hard on yourself. Not making 'light' of your concern but probably only you can see it. Look at the 'big' picture and from what I see, you look lovely. Enjoy!

A 34 " waist and the dress size is 20W ??? That's crazy. "...as a result of various cultural pressures, most notably vanity sizing, North American clothing sizes have drifted substantially away from this standard over time, and now have very little connection to it. Instead, they now follow the more loosely defined…

Homemade lentil carrot soup, mixed green salad with cherry tomatoes, half an avacado and Greek dressing. Will have a banana later.:smile:

I am 6 feet tall and wear a shoe size 12 AA ... not easy to find. My youngest daughter is 6 feet 4 inches and wears a shoe size 14 ... even harder to find!!! We both have long legs ha ha ... I need a 35-36 inseam so I sew a lot! Forget trying to find a dress that fits properly. Thank goodness I love to sew :happy: I just…

Definitely a big change. Congratulations! Maybe you don't notice the change as much because your pants are baggy. Right? :smile: Since you are still losing, maybe go to a 'gently used' store and buy some clothes that fit for now. Or if you know someone who sews, ask them to take in your currents ones. But once again,…

I agree. You shouldn't be hurting because of the weight loss. I have low back pain as well and if I don't sit properly, I get a burning pain very low on my sacrum. There might be some kind of inflammation going on ie. you could have 'bruised' your 'tail bone' while exercising on the thin mat. Get it checked out just to…

Great sentence!

HI there, According to the BMI tables, at 5 ft 11 in and 158 lbs, you have a normal BMI of 22. I read your profile and the comments you made about your body. Maybe you just need to 'tone up' and look at yourself in a different way. Remember: it's not what is said to you but rather how you react that is important.…

grabitt57 ... have you had our thyroid function test done?

Good for you for taking charge of your own life! I always remind myself that when someone says something hurtful to me or about me, it says more about them than it does me. I let it go. If I don't, then I am giving the other person power over me. That's one of the nice things about growing older, words don't bother me like…

I have found them in the dairy section. They are not dairy but they are usually kept under refrigeration. Ask at your grocery store. Most stores have a ethnic foods area. Also check out any Asian food stores in your area.

Good Morning Ladies, It's socked in here this morning and I am sick of the rain! What a damp cold winter and spring!! Amanda: what a scary thing to happen! You and your hubby are safe and that's the important thing. I joined MFP about a month ago ... the weight is coming off very slowly. I have about 15 pounds to lose to…

Hi! I just found this group and would love to be part of it. I am 58 and 6 feet tall. CW is 184 GW is somewhere between 170 - 175. I have carried extra weight - as much as 30 pounds (200) over the years but mostly have managed to stay in the 180s. Frankly, I am tired feeling like I 'need to lose' weight. I eat a very…

Impressive! Congratulations! You are amazing!!

Congratulations!

Interesting question: Here is a great link to gestational weight gain and BMI on the Health Canada web site. Pregnancy is not the time to be losing weight. For example, if the BMI is over 30, than the recommended weight gain would be between 11 - 20 pounds. If the BMI is 25 - 29.9, than the weight gain should be kept…

Wow! What a transformation! You look fabulous and your enthusiasm jumps off the page :smile: A real inspiration to all of us.

Nope. You are not a hypocrite. Congratulations on taking charge of YOUR OWN LIFE. Sounds like your family might be feeling a tad threatened by the changes in your life. Keep on doing what you are doing and remember, if someone is interested in how you are losing weight and living a more healthy life, they will ask you.…

Congratulations! Awesome! Determination with a capital D!! and many more positive adjectives!

Keep track of your emotions around 'hunger' ... your first sentence implies that you WILL BE hungry ... future tense ... and then you write that no matter HOW MUCH you EAT, your are still HUNGRY ..... I am wondering if the HUNGER is not about PHYSICAL hunger (grumbling stomach, low blood sugar) but a mental hunger about…

Congratulations! You are an inspiration and proof that this site works! Cheers!

Congratulations to you for a fabulous weight loss!

I fill it out every day ... even managed to do it while I was away this past Easter weekend although I did get the lunch/dinner mixed up on the two days. I like up2metolose20's idea of not doing it on Sundays: not a cheat day but rather a day to see if she can keep on track. This will be a good tool for me to use once I…
