I've lost 30 lbs as well. I am cold all the time. I went to the store today and purchased 4 long sleeve fleece type tops. Last year I wore summer weight PJ's all winter (I live in the mountains)

I'm glad to hear my body will adjust eventually.

Great job  that we have lost weight! At least we can layer without looking like the Pillsbury Dough Boy

I started walking around  the lake and my neighborhood in March. I walked past this house and once in awhile I would see this woman on her front deck. She would wave and say hello and I would respond. One day she said she wanted to ask me a question. I saw that she was overweight,like I was. she also had lost her job. We are now friends and she walks with me and is starting to eat healthy. So it's almost like "Paying It Forward" but with health.

Good For You!!! I watched the game on TV,so I didn't have the temptation. I am a Yankee fan...sorry they lost. BTW I have lost 32 lbs and have changed my life style. I now get so excited over the taste of a  peach. Great luck on your healthy journey.

Tonight is roasted chicken breast seasoned with Mrs. Dash & a bit of EVOO,brown rice with garlic, and a huge salad with roasted garlic dressing. I love garlic and it loves me.

for my dessert it,s 2 oz of chocolate sorbet with low fat whipped cream. Now what's not to love?

2 lbs shy of 30 lbs lost and I love food now....Food is not the enemy

Health To All

I love the Exercise TV on demand.  I always start with the 10 min AM Yoga, then Yoga Sculpt, then Shred or Boost Metabolism. In the evening if I feel the urge to munch I through on on of the 10 minute workouts or a dancing one. I also HATE to exercise but I can see such a difference now. I will always have to exercise so I am having a Yoga instructor teach me properly. That will be my gift to myself when I lose my next 10 lbs. I've lost 20 already and I can't get over how I look and feel. So everybody get up and MOVE!!!!! BTW I will be 58 in 2 weeks so this a very big change. I quit smoking in January as well.

No Solent Green Factory For Me  All the Baby Boomers know what that means.

Love To All On Our Healthy Journey

I see myself in many of these posts.

I know what you mean about painting toe nails. Since it's now sandal weather I painted mine the other day. WOW I bent right over without a thought. I did a really good job since I could see what I was doing.

I love my new muscles! My arms are looking pretty good for an old lady. Think Al Pacino in Scareface..."Say hello to my little friends"

Climbing up on my counter to clean the tops of the cabinets. I am able to move so easily, up,down, sideways.

I sleep like a baby...

hello, I'm like you. I must see my deficit each day. I have a calendar on my desktop that I input my toal calories and my calories burned. I do the math and log it in. I also put all my activities. I switch my routine daily(except for the yoga) so I won't get borded. I count down a .25 lb lose every day since I started logging the info in this way.  I also weigh all my foods.  I've lost 13 lbs so far and I really do eat all day.  Once I lose 10 more lbs I will realx the weighing of the food.

Good Luck On Your Journey Towards Health

I quit smoking on Jan 16th. I started feeling really good (breathing). I was over weight to start then gained 5 lbs. Lost my job on March 12th. Thought I will not be depressed and gain more weight. Now I will have the time to get healthy.

Then my husband and I decided to rent a house for 2 weeks down the shore. We invited our daughter and our 2 grandchildren. I wanted to be able to run and play with them on beach.

I have lost 10 lbs and I'm really motivated. I do yoga, 30 day shred, weights and walk 3 miles. I am really proud of myself.

I WILL NOT GO BACK TO UNHEALTHY LIVING!!!

I'm a Baby Boomer and both my parents worked. My Mom cooked every night,except Thursday when we went grocery shopping. I was outside playing until dinner. Did my homework and then went back outside until it was dark.  In the winter we went to the pond and went ice skating. We went sleding until our clothes were frozen stiff.  We had gym everyday in school and went outside and jumped double dutch until the bell rang.

I ate a P&J ,apple, 3 Hydrox cookies , and 1/2 pint of milk EVERYDAY till 8th grade. Lunch was not what I looked forward to.....it was the playing after lunch. I didn't care what I ate as long as I could still go out and play. 

Kids today don't even have recess or gym because the schools are afraid of lawsuits.

I am so happy I grew up when I did.

Hi,

This is what I do. I usually go to the same places for my meals. So I know what is on the menu. I just put in what the meals consists off say ...chicken , beans, rice, gravy, pasta. I have a food scale at home so I know what 3 oz of boneless chicken breast looks like.  You can be off on the calories...it's only 1 day. Don't make yourself worry over it...you will start to resent eating healthy.

Don't weigh yourself everyday. I find that when I weigh myself everyday I sometimes gain in a 48 hrs. weigh yourself once a week or at most every 5 days.

Keep up the good work. I lost 3 lbs in a week and I am very happy. Don't forget to drink plenty of water and watch your sodium intake.

Have a wonderful weekend
