Hi Bobbolink,
How long did it take for you to lose 28 lbs? that is awesome.funny you would ask me about the tracker bar, Iv'e been playing around with it for quiet a while and I'm diffinitely doing something wrong. My dd did it for my so i will ask her tomorrow and then get back to you. I also lost 1 lb. I'm thinking maybe I'm not eating enough calories, I'm opposite from you I can leave the veggies and eat protein but try not to do that.I have ordered a ww scale through my air miles and its not here yet, it will give me a true reading. it will likely read more than a regular scale because it should be accurate.

Hi, I'm 58 and still working hard at this weight thing. Why does it have to be so hard? Why can't we crave lettuce instead of chocolate? Whinning over.....I know this is a permenant thing for me. I don't diet any longer, I try to eat healthy. I know in the long run diets don't work. I have lost most of my weight and only have a few more pounds to go, around 10. Fact is we just have to change the way we think about food and the way we eat. If we go back to the way we were eating before the "diet" we'll be right back to where we were in no time. I'm not willing to do that. I like being thinner and having more energy to play with my grandchildren. So this is something I'll have to do for a long time.
Greetings
So nice to hear from someone my age!
To Weight: Questions about losing 28 lbs. I've been horsing around for about a year. I dieted with a vengence last summer, then around Halloween, Thanksgiving & Christmas I ignored my diet and pigged out. I started again in March or so. My hubby and I celebrated our 40 anniversary yesterday, it's actually today the 12th. I ate everything that wasn't nailed down to the table, so my weight is up to 39.5 pounds this morning. You will love the new digital scales they have out now. I use mine everyday and it measures the calories in the food I weigh on it. WOW!
To the slim me: I love chocolate too! I usually put a scoop of sugar free cocoa in my morning coffee or when I feel like a special treat. I only have a few pounds left to go also, but am taking advantage of all the fresh veggies we have in our garden. How old are your grandkids?
I am pretty new to this site and don't know my way around yet, plus it would take hours to cover everything. How you two doing? I need to go down stairs and fill in the cracks on my face , catch you later.
P.S. You can call me Bobbi, that's what my grandkids call me. It means grandma in Czech.
HI, My grandkids are 5 and 2. I baby sit 2 days a week and they do keep me running. What they do is wear me out! But I wouldn't trade it for anything. They call me mema. They have so many grandma's! We are so fortunate. We still have my mom and grandma and my DIL mother and granma!!! I put the chocolate in my coffee too (another addiction). I'm not fortunate enough to have a big garden but we take advantage of our local fresh produce. We have a stand about 3 miles from out house that picks the vegetables in the morning and brigns them down. Soooo goood! I eat mostly vegetabls too, with a little protein thrown in there!
I Have Two Grandsons, Age 8 And 13. I Also Babysat For Them Until They Were Old Enough For School. Our Daughter Teaches School, So She's Off In The Summer. I Enjoyed Watching Them, But It Was A 20 Mile Round Trip Picking Them Up Each Morning & I Don't Miss That!
My Hubby Is A Hunter So We Always Have Plenty Of Caribou, Elk,venison In The Freezer. He Also Hunts Pheasants And Small Game Birds. We Have A One Year Old English Setter That Loves To Hunt And My Hubby Just Retired Last Week. He Will Be Leaving This Friday For Another Elk Hunt In Colorado, (we Live In Minnesota)
So I Should Drop Some Weight In The 10 Days He's Gone. I'll Have To Hide His Ice Cream :d
Do You Have A Name I Can Call You? Mema?
Hi Bobbi, My name is Freda. we met on another site and kind of lost touch! My family are hunters also. Not us. We moved to the "big city" and miss the country life still. We thought about moving but I only have 1 son and the 2 grancchildren and i'm not leaving them! They were talking about moving to the country and i was hoping because I intended to retire and move right behind them! I would love a big garden! I actually like to can and still buy tomatoes to put up.
You have a great opportunity to eat what you want and lose weight with no complications while hubby is gone. If he's like mine he has no need to lose and eats everything!!!!! Life is not fair.
The 178 is my current weight, I just change that number to the new number and save my signature. much easier than redoing the whole dang thing each time.
Bobbi
I just changed my signature tracker and it worked this time
click on user cp at top of page,then click on signature tracker,a page will come up with your older signature, click on it at the end of your last posted signature and back space till is gone then follow the instruction to get your new signature tracker, when done go to edit and click on copy then go back to the beginning where you took out the old signature and scroll down click inside this box and go to edit and click paste. and it should be there.I hope this works for you

Hi the slim me
oh would I ever like to crave lettuce, but that will not happen.your right diets do not work, healthy eating is the way.sometimes boring but then when the day is done and next morning you get on the scale and it says 1 lb lighter ,then is all worth it.
you are doing great . where were you when you started? you say you only have 10 lbs left to go .thats a real accomplishment

THANKS CHICK IN THE HAT AND WEIGHT FOR THE ADVICE. IT WORKED!
I STARTED LAST YEAR AT 165, THEN HORSED AROUND OFF AND ON LIKE WE ALL DO. I WAS VERY SERIOUS LAST SUMMER, COUNTED EVERY MORSEL I PUT IN MY MOUTH. THEN FALL AND ALL THE HOLIDAYS CAME AND MY DIET WENT OUT WITH THE DISH WATER. I SERIOUSLY STARTED AGAIN IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR UNTIL SUMMER. THEN I TOOK THE WHOLE SUMMER OFF, DIDN'T COUNT CALORIES, I JUST NEEDED A BREAK. I DIDN'T GAIN, I ACTUALLY DROPPED SOME WEIGHT. BUT THEN IT'S OUR BUSY SEASON OUTDOORS AND I RUN THE CALORIES OFF. WE LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY, HAVE A FRUIT ORCHARD, LARGE VEGETABLE GARDEN AND LOTS OF DIFFERENT FLOWER GARDENS. I'M INTO SOME HEAVY FREEZING RIGHT NOW, I HAVE ENOUGH ZUCCHINI FROZEN FOR THE ENTIRE COUNTRYSIDE. ANY ZUCCHINI LOVERS OUT THERE? I MADE COLE SLAW WITH IT LAST WEEK, NO CABBAGE IN IT, JUST ZUCCINI, MAYO F.F., RAISINS AND APPLES FROM OUR ORCHARD. PINEAPPLE WOULD BE GOOD IN IT TOO! ANYBODY WANT TO SHARE SOME RECIPES WITH ME? HOW IS EVERYONE GETTING THEIR FIBER IN? WE HAVE FRESH PEACHES THAT I MIX WITH 4 OZ. OF PLAIN YOGURT AND TOP WITH 30G. OF FIBER ONE CEREAL. THE CEREAL STAYS CRISPY AND THE ONLY WAY I CAN EAT IT. I DON'T LIKE IT SOGGY WITH MILK. IT HAS 60 CALORIES AND 14G. OF FIBER. THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT IS 25 G. FOR THE DAY. THERE IS ABOUT 3 GM OF FIBER IN THE PEACH SO I GET 17G. RIGHT AWAY IN THE MORNING. IT KEEPS ME FULL AND I HAVE SO MUCH ENERGY. MY HUBBY LIKES CRANBERRY-VANILLA CRUNCH CEREAL AND THAT HAS A WHOPPING 2G. OF FIBER FOR THE SME AMOUNT PLUS 200 CALORIES.
CHECK OUT THIS CEREAL, "FIBER ONE" AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YA ALL THINK!
THINK THIN, BOBBI
Bobbi, first of all you have to clear your first signature, you may have forgot to clear the one you had, do that and if you want the same one you redo the whole thing and then go to edit and copy then use the back button to get you back to where you choose your tracker. scroll down and click in the space , go to edit and click paste and it should be there. you also have to re-enter your wight and all that with the new info. good luck

Good morning every one, It's cool here today, finally! it's been such a hot summer and i enjoy walking outside. Most morning it was too hot to get out! I do have a treadmill in the basement but I try to just use that in the winter. What do the rest of you do for exercise?
Bobbi, as for fiber and cereal, I usually have kashi for breakfast. I love it and it has lots of fiber. I could eat it out of the box for a snack. I also love vegetables and fruit and probally get enough with them. Just a big ear of corn is probally loaded with enough fiber. I also like oatmeal for breakfast. I mix it with splenda and cinnamon (stabalizes blood sugar) and rarins (iron) and sprink it with chopped nuts. YUM!
, catch you later.
