Measure measure measure, I can't stress how important that is. When I wasn't seeing a difference in the mirror I was seeing it in the tape measure, also check your BMI. I do that also and it is motivated. It took me 55 pounds before people started commenting but still I felt fat and it took my brain several months to…

Our mall has a walking club in the mornings before the mall opens, I have never been but hear from friends it is fun so maybe your mall has the same.

Like AA we have to take it a day at a time, and then another day and another.

I am 65 and also had many surgeries which waylaided me for awhile until I could work myself back, back, neck, shoulder, ankle, knee, abdominal, wrist and soon another surgery coming up. I am down 68 pounds this time and in another pound + 2 ounces will reach 100. I just tell myself I am not giving up. I work out at the…

I had blueberry kodiak power pancakes and fresh mango spears and lots of dark roast coffee with expresso.

I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you were semi eating healthy. Exercise won't make you lose weight, limiting what goes in your mouth and the type of food well, exercising will make you feel good though. My friend lost 250 from her weight loss surgery, gained back 100. We are both working out and eating…

Welcome, I started back last year, am 65 and made goal this year. Much success to you and your daughter.

Hello everyone. I am loving this cooler weather and long walks with the dogs. This is my favorite time for bike riding also. Got a cortisone shot in my knee yesterday which should help with enjoying it more and more. Have a great day. I am on week 5 of maintenance. 1 more week and then WW will be free. I love my WW meeting…

I returned to the gym about 11 months ago and do cardio and a hour and a half of strength training. I am 65 so do lower weights and more reps. I know a lot of older folks who lift to much too fast and end up with injuries that put them of commission for months which I do not want. I am lifting more then when I started but…

I had to wear a belt because my size 14 capri were too lose, I used to wear a 22. first belt I have worn in a couple of decades. Went out to eat for my birthday and mentioned to my server that my diet was on hold today since I was celebrating, she snorted and said, like you need to diet, LOL. My entire life, and the rest…

I was on a 3 month stall, very discouraging to say the least. There are tricks to break a stall. On Weight watchers it is called Wendy's plan. I used to call it the zig zag. Same thing, one uses points one calories. I have had to do this a couple of times. So far I have lost 68 pounds slow and steady. Here is one plan.…

I save a couple items of clothing from last year and compared them to this years sizes. I can't believe those pants used to fit me and the tshirt is huge. Today's NSV

Welcome back and good luck with the back surgery. I am down 68 pounds but it was slow and steady for me. Just log everything and stay within your points.

I had a hundred to lose also. I have 3 more pound to go before I hit my goal. Feel free to add me as a friend.

I hit my weight loss goal Saturday in my WW meeting. It has been a long time coming. This is the 2nd time I hit my goal with WW. First time I had made it 20 pounds higher and didn't think I would make it there. I did so I went for another 20, made that also. Now I have 3 pounds to lose to make it an even 100 pounds I have…

I am a nurse also. Just made my goal Saturday and am retiring next week. There are many challenges working as a nurse and eating well. Good luck on your journey and fiend me if you want.

This makes me sad to think of you unhappy all the time. I hope you can get past this. Happiness and joy is the best feeling. I search for it and make sure to include it in my daily life, hope you can find it also.

It would help if I bought some lottery tickets, ha.

I took it as funny, lol. Thanks on the pictures, I take a lot of photos. Hope to take more now that I am retired.

Still waiting to hit that goal, LOL. probably buy new clothes.

Welcome, also a ww member who does this site also. Between the 2 I am doing well, hit my goal last week and want to get another 5 pounds under before I start trying to maintain. Welcome

Well, I still have the belly for it, LOL.

I love kayaking but there aren't many places around here to go. I was thinking about trying that balance ball at the gym at the risk of falling and making a complete fool of myself, next time I got with my friend I will try it. Yoga was fun until I felt my knee explode and it took a couple of weeks before I could get that…

Welcome, track everything and you will take it off in no time.

Thanks, she is my obstacle and my buddy exercising.

First time I joined here I did that, ate those dang exercise calories right back. Found myself riding my bike 2 more miles so I could eat more at one sitting, ha. That was my downfall and before I knew it I was back to eating the same old way and just skipped the hard exercise and went right to the rewards. Weight came…

Morning everyone. Tomorrow is my weigh in at WW. Yesterday I was at 159.6, below my goal weigh, today I am at 160.9, above again, sigh. Getting into the 50's is taking me forever. However, I am still at it. I added tai chi and dug out my old Leslie Stallone walk a mile CD's, I forgot how much I like them. I find if I do…

I made this recipe from skinny taste called https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=322103. It was very good but I will use fresh, not frozen salmon next time. Very easy also.

That is wonderful. You look great. I went from morbidly obese to overweight also, it is a great feeling.
