I'm so disappointed as I weighed this morning! I have had very good luck on my diet this week. Logging everything I eat, staying below my calorie target, and having a deficit between my my calorie intake and those I burn every day - yet I am exactly the same weight this morning as I was last week. This does not seem right. I'm sure I need to exercise more, but I did exercise twice last week, which is twice more than I would have done if not really trying. Well - perhaps it will show next week if I just keep at it.

Hi all, I'm so glad I found this forum and CC! I'm hoping to find new friends on this site who have similar goals. I love meeting new people of all ages, and hope you will add me to your friends list - and reply to me directly as well as to this forum.

1. Calorie Count Name (user id): grannyatv4fun
2. Name you prefer to be called in discussions: Kathy
3. Age & Sex: 64 - female
4. General Location: Utah
5. Married? Single? My husband of 46 years and I live in a small town in a beautiful rural area where we have diverse scenery in every direction. Within an hour I can be in either beautiful high mountain areas or in desert red-rock country, where there are many trails to enjoy riding my ATV.
6. Kids? Furbabies? I have 5 married children (so also have 3 wonderful sons-in-law and 2 fantastic daughters-in-law), 15 grandchildren, and 3 great-granddaughters.
7. Favorite color? Blue
8. Favorite movie? Pelican Brief
9. Hobbies? FAMILY, scrapbooking, riding my ATV 

10. Favorite Snack? everything that is wrong to eat
11. Favorite Beverage? peach tea, water
12. Biggest Obstacle to Getting Healthy? All of our family get-togethers, church socials, fun outings center around food - and of course I like all the wrong things and toooooo much of everything.
13. Weight/Fitness Goal? loose excess weight and feel better! My eating habits have finally caught up with me. Now I am not only fat, but have HBP, high cholesterol, thyroid disease, knee & hip pain, etc. etc, etc.
14. Least Favorite Household Chore? Cleaning toilets of course. Also hate deciding what to fix for meals. Don't mind actually cooking, just deciding what to fix.
15. How did you find Calorie Count? Was looking for a calorie counter on www. This is so much better! I hope to find new friends with similar goals. People are the spice of life!
16. Anything Else You'd Like To Share?  I have considered myself to be over weight all my life - but as I look back now, I'd be very happy to weight what I did when I was 35 years old (and thinking I was really overweight). I've been successful in loosing down to my goal weight 3 separate times in my life, but each time have gained all the weight back (plus a lot more), till now I am looking at over 100 pounds of excess weight. I've tried every diet from Weight Watchers to Medifast, and know that I have got to change my eating habits and life style to make a lasting difference - not only in my weight but in my health.

Hi, can I join now? I realize I'm one day late, but wondered if I can start today? Thanks.

Congratulations! I just joined CC yesterday, although I've been working on this diet for 2 weeks. I can't wait till I can celebrate loosing my first 25 pounds! I promised not to weigh myself until the end of the first month of my diet, and the weight I posted yesterday was actually the weight I started with 2 weeks ago - so we'll see how I've done in a couple of weeks. Keeping track of everything I eat on my log is time consuming, but a really great motivator. I only have myself to report to - and if I've committed to listing everything that goes into my mouth (except water) it makes a big difference in not taking those tiny bites of stuff that really add up to big calories at the end of the day.

Thanks for sharing your success with all of us! Enjoy your new shoes!
