Exercise and Weight Loss Challenges
Hi Guys, now I'm thinking I should have just started a new topic rather than a whole group but here we are. I was going crazy trying to find my senior friends (you) in the senior group we met each other in. Maybe there is a trick but hate the page scrolling to find the most current post. Anyway, wanted to talk to all of…

Spring 2024 (March, April, May
I have been off the wagon for a month. I just got diagnosed with cancer this week (early stage uterine, so not the worst) but noticed I've been doing some comfort eating and have decided to challenge myself to record my weight during March, April, May. I do not have the go-for-it to follow a food plan at this point. Join…

Spring into Summer 2021
I feel like I have been hovering around 195+ for 10 years at least, with brief dips. Now, approaching my 70th birthday, I'm thinking I need to get serious again. If I could get back to the 180's by my birthday I would be so very glad! So finding friends to walk a few times a week and got my DNA recommendations for food…

Get Through Raging Lame Duck November 20, 2020-January 20th, 2021
All I can do is commit to recording my food from now until January 20th. I have been stress eating due to Covid and the orange guy. At least that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it. But record I will. I am actually super psyched about pumpkin spice season. Just printed out a bunch of pumpkin recipes from WW. So, eating…

2020 Resolute Goals January 3 - March 6, 2020
Looking ahead to the New Year and Resolutions or "Resolute Goals". The different language is because of students of mine saying that they don't make New Years Resolutions but are comfortable with setting goals. I'm posting this a couple of weeks early so we can all begin thinking about what the we want to create and commit…

Daily Gratitudes and Accomplishments
Hi, I lost the gratitude thread that I liked to post on most days. Somehow it helps me to stay on track with this weight loss journey and my life in general to post, each day, what I'm grateful for and what I've accomplished. Especially when things are tough it gives me a lift to acknowledge myself for little achievements…
