Today is the kind of day that is frustrating but I am moving forward, determined. Yesterday I put in 50 minutes of good cardio on my bike and in the garden. Ate well and under my calorie count but all good foods, no white flour or sugar. Cut out alcohol. Walked. Drank water. Thought good thoughts. And my weight stayed the…

Hello! I would love to join you all! I have been a yo-yo dieter for a long time, up and down and I am ready to lose this same 40 pounds and another 25 to my goal weight. I’m in another group too, and with such great support I know we can do it. I had knee surgery in January after a tennis injury and know being lighter on…

Yes! 4.5 miles on the bike and 40 minutes in the garden, clearing and planting. It felt good to work up a little sweat and start a good calorie burn. Beautiful weather is incentive.

Thank you! I am so happy to be here. Just having the group makes me feel more motivated. My left leg is very weak from recovery from surgery from a tennis injury and the right one hurts from overcompensation. All the more reason to get weight off. I feel like I’m 90 years old. I will be my healthiest self again! Yesterday…

Can I join? I realize I've been gaining and losing the same 40 pounds for 9 years. Enough. I've had it. I had surgery in January on my knee and I am ready to exercise again. Just bought a magnetic stationary bike and I am out there doing yard work and walking. I want to get in shape.

Hi! Please send me an invitation. I have 50 pounds more to go and I am motivated!

In any case, congratulations to you! That is a huge achievement.

Good morning to all! So nice to see this discussion. I am 54 and have 56 pounds to lose to get to 199 although I'd like to be at about 175 eventually. I gained a ton of weight in the last years of my marriage and am now really ready to change my life, and do it for me. I was unable to get the scales to move at all until…

I just started using the progesterone cream, as well. I hate to think it causes weight gain, because the whole push for it was as not only a help for hot flashes, insomnia etc., but also weight loss.

Thank you, soywoman! Interesting about the vitamin deficiencies. I'm going to look into that. And so sorry about the arthritis. I'm sure that's a challenge and hoping it doesn't give you too much trouble. I like what someone said above about not focusing so much on being thinner, but stronger and healthier. And for me,…

Hi! I'm Michele, I'm 53 and have been having symptoms since my late 40s. I haven't been able to use any hormone replacement therapy because of the prevalence of breast cancer in my immediate family. For a while, the symptoms, which have been intense (especially night sweats, hot flashes, and foggy thinking) seemed to go…

I know what you mean. I always look thinner (much) at home and I get comfortable with that look. Build up confidence. THEN I catch my reflection in a store window and am shocked. But instead of flipping out about it, I have decided to love myself no matter which view I see. Before long, if I work as hard as I have been on…

Love your story. It shows we can all do this our own way. And, in the end, isn't that all that matters?
-
5' 9'' ... with at least 50 to lose. Yes, we hide it well, but I want it gone and be back to a healthy weight. I don't want to be skinny. Just fit and fabulous!

I have felt like you do at many points over the last 10 years. We are the hardest judges on ourselves, aren't we? You are a beautiful person and you can get a grip on all this. You deserve to feel good! It's a one-minute-at-a-time, one-day-at-a-time, one-step-at-a-time change of lifestyle. When I feel like I want to eat…

Take deep breaths. Start small. You are here!! That is a huge first step. I agree with what the others said. I'm doing this in 10-pound increments, too. Your daughter sounds like a gem. Believe her! You are worth it. So, tomorrow ... drink some water. Take a small walk. And feel good knowing you are on your way. You can do…

A good dose of reality and perspective!

it is overwhelming to try to grasp it all at once. I hear you. I have been there, not even wanting to go to fun social events because I was worried about people I know would think about how I looked. the thing is, our weight didn't come on all at once, and it won't come off all at once. but I think it's the little…

Yes, yes! I want to do this, too! SW: 265 CW: 247 GW For the month of June: 239 UGW: 180

Reaching out is the hardest step to admit there is a problem. Good for you for being brave. There is hope! Think about the next hour, and not the end result. What can you do now to change your life, and extend it. Take a short walk? Drink some water? You deserve whatever you choose to do. There is a whole community here…

I am near Cape Cod in Massachusetts, about as far east as you can get without falling in the water. Gorgeous sunny, cold day today although six inches of snow is expected tomorrow!
