  • You might want to keep lower calorie treats around. For instance, I like some of the organic pizzas...and they are only 900 calories for an entire pizza. That way, you don't feel deprived.

  • Wow - very inspiring! Not only do you look fit, but you look about 10 years younger. Thanks for sharing.

  • I understand what Heather (the OP) is saying about the bloat ... I too, have trouble eating all the calories you are supposed to. I've made an effort to do so today and it is literally making me sick to my stomach; plus the bloat is so bad I have to unbutton my jeans. Not sure how to get rid of this problem other than lots…

  • I get the stomach bloat, too. It is extremely frustrating and I have not found an answer yet.

  • I totally get what you are saying OP and almost did the same thing. Give it a few days at the 1500 and similar burn level and you might see a few pounds come off all at once.

  • Sent friend requests to all on this thread ... We in the over 50 crowd have our unique issues. For instance, if you look at the diet diaries of some of our younger friends here, many of their food choices are banned by our doctors due to hypertension, cholesterol, etc.

  • Add me in if appropriate, too! I think when we get into our 50s, we start feeling all those old sports injuries, have slower metabolisms, and have a different view about life than in our younger years. Am interested in others' weight loss experiences and mutual motivation/advice.

  • Just now getting active here -- it's a lot more fun than jotting diet/exercise stuff in a notebook. Very new here so looking for friends, mostly for mutual motivation.

  • Like you, I will be traveling soon, too -- but for two weeks! Am staying in hotels with gyms if available, and have lunch "boxes" from GoPicnic because every box has a label describing all the calories/nutrients so calories are easily tracked. Kosher and vegan versions of the GoPicnic meals are available, but what makes…

  • To my surprise, I have something called hyperparathyroidism, which creates huge levels of calcium in the blood. One of the symptoms is depression -- so you might want to ask your doctor about blood tests to see if anything biological is contributing to the depression. As a lot of folks have written here, exercise…

  • My doctor told me to take Red Yeast Rice to help with cholesterol. Maybe that can help your husband.
