I am 58 and my body doesn't seem to respond to what I consider healthy eating habits as well. What is going on? As of today I have gained 12lbs of the 50lbs I have lost. I have a friend that has started going to a clinic that gives her B-12 shots and some other injection to lose her weight. No, I don't want to go to that extreme. I know I can get back on track. |

Kyashiis, I have enjoyed reading of your journey it is so up lifting and makes me want to visit Japan and visit all the wonderful places you mention. Unfortuantly, here in Southern California we are in a severe drought we are all hoping for some rain. We would welcome torrential rains here. I will check out your photos and thank you for share your venture with the group it sounds fabulous... |

Mikka, You go Wow! I know you willreach your goal. I didn't walk yesterday I was really tired from Wednesday. Wednesday is my cleaning day I over did it I cleaned my carpets myself upstairs and down stairs....What was I thinking! Today, I feel better and plan on taking my walk. I will stop by the base to use the gym for an hour. My weight is the same 201. drinking lot's of water. I realize we all demand or need a little magic in our lives but sad to say that we should not believe all the stories we read such as many of us believe the things we see in print and anecdotes about how someone lost 60lbs in 60 days do not buy into these stories these are all lies remember anything can be printed and it is powerful allure especially when we need to lose 60 or more pounds. Their are no quick fix diet books they lie about the effectiveness of a new fad diets. If you buy a book to help you in eating smarter, exercising better try to avoid books that make extravagant claims and check the authors educational credentials or just ask Mary here at cc she always has the answers we need. I have committed to a life change of eating smarter and exercising better so that I live longer! |

Hello everyone, Friday my computer (DSL) line went down. I did not realize how much I need my computer it was terrible not being able to get on line. My Saturday started out with family coming in from out of town. So, I spent the whole day cooking and making sure everyone had plenty to eat. Rib's, TriTip, Chicken, baked bean's and potato salad, peas and carrots, and a BIG wardolf salad. I was so tired and my feet were still aching from my long walks during the week. My feet were not happy puppy's. Finely, 8:00 p.m. Sunday I went down I told everyone good night.... WHAT IS HAPPENING? I remember I could stay up and play a couple of board games.... I was tired everyone left by Monday afternoon. I was very good I watched my portions didn't over eat. Had chicken and salad. Didn't walk my knees still bothering me I think I will try walking tomorrow not five miles only 3. |

Hello everyone, I started out for my walk today and at a mile my knees started giving me so much painl I just could not keep going. I turned around and came home and took some aspirin. I guess, I'll give my feet and knees a rest for today and see how I feel tomorrow. I am trying not to pay so much attention to what I see on the scale Hopefully, I will see a big change next week! |

gerbology, WE CAN DO THIS! Please do not think of it as a "diet" think of it as a life change. It about making changes in your life to be healthy and making the right choices. Has anyone watched the SuperSize me movie. I did and I have had all my family watch it that eat fast food. WATCH IT it may make a change in the choices you make when eating out. Drink plenty of water and remember it takes baby step's to reach our goal weight and then it working on maintaining. |

Good Morning everyone, Well I am ready and out of here its another beautiful day here in Southern California. Please someone answer why is it that I have gained a pound when I am watching cals, exercising, and watching portion.... I guess its the slowing of the metabolism? I need to work harder? or stop eating! |

For bladder infections they sell over the counter meds at the pharmacy. During the hot summer you have to make sure to drink lot of water. I am working hard to lose the next eight pounds. I will walk tomorrow but not as far. My feet hurt. |

Good Morning, Since October 08 I have gained 14 lbs. I am so angry. I have started watching calories and keep with a walking schedule. It has been very stressful around here with family being laid-off from their jobs and another days cut. But, we continue to help each other. SOMEBODY has to come and take me out of here or I just lock myself up in the house all day! I have to get out and walk. Please push me out of here! |

Hey, Everybody HAPPY NEW YEAR... No, I haven't forgotten my friends. I have been doing pretty good, I did gain 7lbs during the holidays you know Christmas and my birthday. I had wine a couple of martinis and goodies not much only enough to gain 7 lbs. I have signed up for a nutrition class, and I love it. I trust, it helps me lose the weight. You know one can read all CC offers but when you have to write an essay and do discussion questions that really helps you to in understanding nutrition. Munsey you are still looking good on the bike! |

Munsey, You go You look great on that bike. Yeah, for me right now its just a bicycle. I would love to ride in the wind someday. Now I see you I believe I have a new goal. Have fun all |
|||
even with all the sit ups. 
and as for my tummy still working at it. Doing 20 sit-ups noon and night. After having 4 kids and two of them being twin's and with age... I don't know how flat my stomach will get. What bothers me is the hanging (know what I mean) does that ever go away?
hehehe
But, as you say bonton71 its all about our eating habits. I have been eating very healthy, watching portions and counting Calories. I do want to lose this weight Minnie goal is 20lbs. I agree with your statement....that, I am healthier just not lighter.
I need motivation pull me out of this house off my butt! MOTIVATE ME! I know with age it is not going to come off as easy. But, if I watch the calories closely I will see a difference.
Moreover, I am glad it over and now I am done and it is time to get serious...
