I am 64 and a yo yo dieter. I know lots about food and eating programs. I just don't seem to get the maintainence part - sound familiar?

I enjoy internet friendships and since I am working on still another weight loss effort, I thought this would be a good place to come and play.

Congratulations on the 17 pounds you have already lost.

Hi Gail . . .

You will love it here . . . I know I do and we are the same age. You are doing great . . . keep up the good work, chickie and I'll be looking forward to seeing you around the boards pretty regularly now that you've found us.

Hope you have a great moving and shaking kind of evening . . .

Thanks for the welcome, ladies.

Meowee, not only are we the same age, we are exactly the same height. We are just a teensy bit fluffy, eh?

Hi Gail, I'm A Slightly Overweight (ok, Chubby) Grandma Too. I've Read All The Books, Tried All The Diets, As Crazy As Some Of Them Were. I Lost The Weight, Regained The Weight. I Have A Closet Full Of Beautiful Clothes That Are Doing Me No Good At All Because I Can't Fit Into Them. And I Refuse To Buy A Bigger Size. I Guess I'm Afraid If I Do There Will Be No End. I'm Not Sure Why I Do This. Sure, I Love Food, But Doesn't Everyone? No Self Controle? I'm Working On It Still, But When Do We Get This Right?

Looking Forward To Talking To You
