Great progress! I can see you're taking it seriously and your success is proof of it! Way to Go!

There are pictures of carrots in the sidebar ad and also at the bottom of the page.

This. totally agree. i haven't heard much about Timex. I highly recommend one that goes around your chest, rather than on your wrist.

I agree with the "don't sweat it" attitude folks have posted here. HOWEVER, since you seem like a gracious person you might want to look at the "other bride" angle. Your fiance - his guy friend . . . Is the friend's bride going to think you stole her venue? Will she create drama? Do you know her? If she's a friend it…

(unless those foods are dangerous to them.) One could make the argument that sugary foods ARE dangerous to them. Your kids have a high likelihood of growing up with the same sweet habit you have unless you help them change those habits while they're young. You may not want to change your husbands diet - he is a grown up,…

About once in 2 months, plus our anniversary. quite an eye opener to read how many people eat out so very often. I guess it keeps the restaurants in business . . .

I love that energized feeling after I exercise. and I like to eat but need to loose. and It's my "me" time to listen to podcasts/books, think, daydream and nobody asks me to do anything.

lots of good advice here. one more: be sure you're wetting the leads on your hrm so that it will pick up your hr well. Good luck! and good job weight training!!

not so much hungry as want to eat, eat, eat. I'm working to distract myself. Got to get out of the house!

There is a lot of good advice here. I will only add: your marriage is more important than your weight. Don't delete him. Instead, talk to him. Stay on the Journey

Over 60 is still a lot of your life left! Focus on how you want to live it to help stick to your plan. Good Luck. Well, its not so much luck as "good work!"

You look much younger in the second photo! Way to go! Glad you're doing it while you're young! Keep it up!

sounds like he's got your number! Great reward/bribe (hey - whatever works) Good luck!

This! If you're eating healthy foods you can eat much more for the same calories and stay full longer. But it does depend on what your starting point is - food wise. If you eat a lot of fast food, processed food and "junk food" you'll find you get more "bang for your buck" by eating healthier foods. But if you already eat…

Oatmeal gets eaten for breakfast at our house two ways: I cook "Old Fashioned Oats" (btw: a nearly TOTALLY different food than instant oatmeal) and add flavored yogurt to it. My 18 year old son makes plain instant oatmeal and adds chocolate protien powder and peanut butter - his is super thick. He says it tastes like…

yes. But I don't agree with those saying it doesn't matter. While your body does function while asleep, it doesn't need as many calories and there's no sense giving it several hundred calories that won't get burned up as they would during the day. I think it's better to finish eating long enough before you go to bed to at…

Very Interesting! It's cool to see such and obvious correlation between processed foods and how your body is working. I suppose there's nothing like personal experience to motivate a person. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! I especially love the picture of the two pairs of jeans!!!

This!

I'm 48 and would love to support you and others our age. A recent lab work-up indicates that I'm completely in menopause (already??) I started MFP about a year and a half ago trying to get my weight down before MP - sigh. I've lost about 5 pounds, but I know that's because I haven't stayed on it steady enough. But . . .…

The unconditional love we receive from our dogs is directly related to the idea that "dog" is "God" spelled backwards.

I agree with loosening your shoe laces - especially across the top of the arch, and trying wider shoes. for the blisters: My husband gets them no matter what shoes he wears, so he's just gone to thin moleskin (not the thick molefoam) every time. It's part of the socks and shoes routine: moleskin, socks, workout shoes,…

You can get neck gators that pull up over the face - but that would also block your mouth. The Alaskan solution: duct tape. I'm serious! You can get much more precise coverage than with a face mask. Snow mobile riders in the Yukon 500 wear duct tape on their face. The guy who won the race the last 2 years did a…

wonderful! It's so nice when technology is kind to us instead of just frustrating us!

I wanted to be an airline stewardess, but a friend assured me I was too fat and they wouldn't take me. Was a stay-at-home mom while my kids were little and now I'm a teacher.

Thanks - a much needed reminder for the holiday season!

I think maraige is hard - Rewarding, but, like all things worthwhile, not a cakewalk. (married 24 years and counting for life) The temptation will be there. Hard to say whether he is committed enough to resist - I think it's possible he could be faithful, but my advice would be to keep your eyes open and love him through…

I am not currently doing Curves, but I did it for 1 year and it was really great for me. I started after a surgery that left me weak (couldn't walk up my own stairs without getting wobbly). I gained a lot of strength without bulking up at all. I also improved my cardio fitness over the year. it was very noticeable that I…

It is astounding to me that anyone who is losing weight would be fixing a snack for someone else after they've gone to bed. I guess I come from a different culture, so I'll try not to be rude. But I may not succeed. For heavens sake he can get his own snack or starve! It is VERY inconsiderate of him to ask you to fix food…
