  • Anne PNW ~ WA I’ve been away for a long time. I cared for my dad who has passed. I’ve been helping mom. I cared for my brother who has passed. I help my daughter and grandchildren. Umm when did I stop taking care of me? I’m home now and had surgery in April which has been a fail. I can’t find any part of my body that isn’t…
  • I can understand where you are at in your title. I came on today to read the forums because that is how I am feeling but nice thing about feelings.........I have learned not to react on them. I find other things for boredom, comfort, frustration ect. I have many disabilities as you will find others on the site who have…
  • Hi Billie I would love to be a part of your journey :-)
  • Just for today 1. Log my food 2. think before I make a meal so that it is healthy but also delicious and appealing. 3. Just move some today Thank you Ruby. Number 3 just really touched me this morning.
  • I am in just for today. 2/4 1. Just for today I rested my knee (pre-op Friday and surgery the 13th) Tomorrow is a new day. I will find something I can do to exercise. Thank you for this group.
  • I appologize for only seeing your post this morning. Are you still on the plateau?

  • I lost nearly 65 pounds. (don't know in stones but was huge!) Over a year I gained 34 pounds back. 5 pounds here 3 there, in little amounts that seemed not so bad but added up. Then reality of cloths not fighting or tight. I refuse to buy new ones. Now I have gone back. Exercise is a big key to me. I was saying all kinds…
  • Hi. I tend to loose weight more when in a group. I would love to be a part. I regained 30 pounds slowly over the last year. I am under a lot of stress and I am learning that even around friends and family I need to pay attention. My doctors want me at 145 so I have 62 pounds to loose. WOW! I just calculated and it sounds…
  • I read all the responses and I can relate to so many. I can also understand you because I am there too. I think both of us keep missing each other on the in and out. OK I laughed with carbs as heroin. YES!!!! I can't just eat one lays....it's the whole bag! The cookies, bread all of it. know your not alone. I also don't…
  • First...Scuba you rock! You have just been there and seen me through many life issues that effect my weight. I started "Leslie Sansone Walking DVD's" This is a good place to start. Here is a free link to her one mile. I started here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=df2gn6-w0dE There are many of us who come from where you…
  • At 56 and weighing myself everyday since then.........just something I do in the morning. My sister who has always been a runner since High School told me your weight can fluctuate 3 lbs normally. Also, high blood pressure with a tendancy to retain fluid adds to this. My dad has CHF and must weigh daily. The best time for…
  • Coming from someone with high blood pressure, slightly enlarged heart, two 40% blockages in LOA, coronary artery desease and I started at being morbidly obese, I see a cardiologist. The intake of fats and what kind make a difference. I suggest a good physical before starting any diet. I am limited to 30-35 fats per day and…
  • About 6 months of not being on MFP at all, except for those I know in real life or have posted why they can't post.
  • OOOPS....I thought this was in the new group I joined. I'm not new to MFP. I've been here a year :-)
  • Oh I must have had a rare senior moment of insanity! Watch out it could be catching :-) And yes I walk in the woods and ummm get lost and crawl through poisin oak. ooops.
  • I like that name Di :-) Hi there Ladybug! My name is Anne. I have many disabilities. You can read about them in my profile and how I deal with them. I will be honest with you. I love Jesus and my life is all about Jesus. I would love to be firends but first read my profile and you decide. You can send a friend request…
  • I won't pay for over processed food, caged animals that are processed for food, homes cleaners, cheap dog food, fad diets/pills/foods. I will pay for a good mechanic, massage, good shoes (a must), vitamin D-3 a must for PNW!!
  • I eat red meat sometimes. Ground beef is different as I am sure you know. I am fortunate enough to have organic grass fed avaible but that doesn't mean you can't eat it. If a meat is fatty, I put it on a paper towel after I cook it. Then I pat the top to get the excess fat off without taking the flavor too. So, if I was…
  • Loosing slowly and strength training are important along with lots of water. You can read about how much water our bodies are actually made of. Sweat isn't weight loss. I am 55 so my skin has lost more elasticity. I use Shea Butter, coconut oil, and homemade cream made with coconut butter. I use straight vitamin E oil on…
  • I don't know if you can call this southern or maybe it's mid-west hospitality, then again this reminds me of growing up in Florida. I just came back again from Oklahoma. I was going to the post office with a hand full of boxes. An eight year old boy opens the door for me and when I say "thank you" I heard "your welcome".…
  • I just had a BIG bowl of fresh picked strawberries. YUM! I have a banana every morning. fresh fruit at least two more times in the day that's besides the raisins in my oatmeal. After being very ill since 2002 from a head injury, I learned about health and nutrition. I also learned there are a lot of "experts" out there…
  • Here is a great little video called 8 minute abs, very effective too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWjTnBmCHTY&feature=related
  • Diane, I just saw your post on belly fat. Cardio and core stregthening is what will do the trick! Planks and push ups and I do not know the name but I bring my elbow to my knee standing and laying down. There are many core exercises just find the ones that work for you. Scubanana, I'm sorry I can't remember your name. I am…
  • When I first started even walking, I could barely make it through half of a "Leslie Sansone 2 mile walk". I could barely raise my arms. BUT I had to get serious with myself along time ago and say cowgirl up! Maybe just maybe you picked the hardest workout in the beginning. The beginning is just that. I remember when my…
  • I took a serious rest day! I let this challenge just take over my life. Between lowering my walking/exercise for the last two days my back is feeling much better. I do have a competitive side to me. I have been changing my lifestyle since my cardiologist had to do an angiogram three years ago. At this time I am going to…
  • Week 4 Saturday Exercise Challenge - No Water today - 8 Under Calories - yes I walked 2 miles towards the evening walk challenge. My daughter called yesterday morning and asked if I would come over. I had a wonderful day with family, BBQ and a lot of laughing! One idea I had when I looked at changing my lifestyle was just…
