Joy, thanks for feeling my pain. Yes, I intend to meet my goal. My mother is 93 years old and is very healthy. Still drives, cuts grass, whatever she wants to do. She is one of the reasons that I felt I should strive to be in my best health. She and I are the same height, 5 feet, and she weighs 112, and I am on 123 now, hoping to get down to 115. So many of my senior friends are having knee surgery and whatever I can do to avoid, needing surgery will help me in the long run. I have always suspected that my age would be a factor in this weigh loss. I will keep you all posted as to what the scales are saying about my goal. |

Thanking each of you for taking the time to reply with great information and advice. At this point, think I will shake it up a bit. Not going to concern myself for the next few days with calories, We don't normally eat out but there is one restaurant that I had been thinking about, so today we plan on going. It will be a nice change. This has been my first time to diet, so didn't relate to the plateau, until I hit the stumbling block. Now I know first hand. You folks are such a great support team. I appreciate each of you sharing your experiences with me. I applaud each of you in your success. Will keep you informed as to what happens with my situation in a few days. |

Yes, I had given this some thought. I eat mainly fruits and vegetables, grains, very little meat. Chicken and fish. Husband had open heart surgery several years back and we have continued to eat very healthy. I don't follow any type of diet, just keeping track of my calories. Gave some thought to figuring out if there was any food that I was craving that was high in calories and take one day out of every week and add that to my diet. Sure I could find something that would add 200 to 300 calories to my diet. Should I add this on just one day or just go ahead and try to increase my intake for a period of time. Thanking you for your help. |

You are inspiration to me, I just started this program recently and always looking for post as yours. You have done an amazing job of staying on track. You and I are the same height, I always say that I am not overweight just undertall. I am much older than you, but I had 20 pounds that I have carried extra for the past 20 years. I know that I will run into a plateau and I look to postings as yours to keep me going. You look wonderful and I know you will have many healthy years as you strive to your goal. Here's thanking you younger gals for teaching this old gal of 70, that I can stay on track and finally weigh the weight that I've had on my drivers license for the past twenty years. |

Yes, you can do this, you have made the first steps. Keeping my food journals each day have been such a great tool for me. Haven't been on this site very long, but it really makes me think about my food when I post each day. Good luck to you, you can do this. |

I have been on coumadin for the past three years. No it has not affected my weight either. Clairelaine, thanks for the hint of eating the lighter colored greens , for some reason I find its hard for me to be consistant with the amount of greens I eat each day. Have avoided the darker greens, but think the main reason I was not being consistant with INR was that I did not take notice of the amount of greens I was eating. Will start by eating 1/2 cup greens each day, INR is checked every three weeks. The best advice you have given is to be consistant. Thanks for sharing. |
