senior buddy needed
 

After having success losing weight by dieting and using this website I've lost my way and gained 50lbs back. I need buddies who are near my age 61 who are involved with the same struggle for support. I want to get back on track and feel successful again. I have the size 10 jeans hanging in the closet waiting for my return. Soready :)

HI! glad that you have found this site and even senior persons post here I am (57) and have posted here and met a lot of great people like you I need a lot of motivation to get me started and when I do I dont keep it up so any time you want to e mail me feel free and maybe we can help each other hope you will get into your jeans and with this site and the great people you will !!!!!!!! Rita

HI rITA, tHANKS FOR THE REPLY. I'd be happy to have you have you as a buddy. So where do we begin. I start each day with the greatest of intentions but by night time I've blown it. I seem to find my way to the kitchen in the middle of the night when I can't sleep and I must say I'm not too selective as to what I eat. Of course I beat myself up mentally all the next day. A vicious cycle really. Bernice

HI! well you sound like me!!!!!!!!! I really have good intentions but never follow thru I work nites soI usually dont eat much thru the day but at nite I make up for it I love sweets I keep telling myself I am not going to eat anything sweet but always looking to find something I am at 150 and I really need to loose as it took me a year to loose16 lbsso as you can see I dont have will power I know if I lost at least 10 pounds it would help my knees and improve my cholestrol so maybe I could get off the pill so maybe you can get me motivated well have a great weekend !!!!!!!!!!! Rita

Well this holiday week-end didn't help my diet as I hosted a barbeque and served lots of fun things to eat that would be healthy if eaten in moderation but did I follow my advice to myself. A resounding NO. I tell myself I will start tomorrow and get serious. Even my little dog seems to have porked up. Maybe I will take her for a walk after all we would both benefit. Rita, tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives so lets take control tomorrow, get on the (gasp) scale and get started and see how much each of us can lose in a week? Are you up to the challenge? Bernice

Bernice yes I am in for a challange!!!!!!!! will try anything worked all weekend and did my share of eating!!!!! got on the scales last night at work and back up to 154 was down to 150 and that took me a long time to loose 10 pounds well I have 2 small dogs that are pudgyalso and I guess if I would get myself motivated to take them for a walk that is a start it is just that my feet are killing me right nowsee I am finding excuses allready so lets set some kind of a goal for a week and see if we can stick with it are you game? and let s keep in touch as by mid week you will be kicking me in the but to keep it upLOL but that is what I really need so how about it? Rita

OK but I blew it already. Have to start over tomorrow. Bernice

well this makes me also have to start as over did my share of choclate chip cookies last night at work was streesd out so ate ate ate so what is your intention this week mine is to start by drinking lots of water at work maybe that will fill me up and I wont have to go to the vending machinewill let you know how it works as for exercising will have to wait a couple of days as I really got a good work out when I had to work a different floor as the floor I work is more confined which is better for me as I really have bad knee and feet (a sign of old age approaching))))))) so will have to wait a couple of days to heal LOL well whatever you plan today stick with it and hope it is a success Rita

Going to the MD tomorrow cause I think my blood pressure is out of wack. I've lost 4 lbs just have another 50(gasp) to go. Hope your day was good and you have kept on program. Just what kind of diet are you following. For me it's eating less,cutting down carbs and some exercise. It was 90 and humid today so I didn't go for a walk. Hope to hear from you soon. Bernice
