Gloria,

Welcome to 3FC website. Hey, I'm a Mimi from West Texas too. I live in Lubbock, where are you? I'm dong Weight Watchers and exercising using Turbo Jam and Slim in 6.

What plan are you using to lose weight? I use the Flex program because I don't have to give up any foods, just stay within the point allowances for my current weight.

What are you craving? I satisfy my "sweet and Chocolate" cravings by eating the sugar free chocolate pudding with a dab of cool whip. Just remember that you are doing this to feel better and live a healthy lifestyle. I keep celery, carrots and also make a vegetable soup that helps fill me up. It's hard to help you until you let us know what your needs are.

Good luck--stay focused and here's some

Hi Gloria, I'm a grandma, or mema, too. I know all about those cravings! I try to keep them from getting too bad by eating 6 small meals and snacks so I don't go too long without food. Did you watch Opra today? She said that those times that you get hungry "for a little something" after you meal was when your body is trying to lose weight. I try to remember that. I also plan a treat every day so I know I'm not giving up the things I love. In the afternoon I sit down and have a cup of tea and a cookie, a small piece of chocolate.......just one, but i look forward to my treat.

It's not easy, but you can do it!

Hi Gloria!

Welcome to the boards.

I'd like to invite you to join us over in the 300+ area. We have a special thread going for those 40+ that I think you might like. Here's a link to the one we're currently on: http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92895

When you come to the forum's main page you will find us under Support Groups. Click on the 300+ And Ready To Try Again and it will take you to the whole section. We have our own recipe, picture, exercise and weigh-in threads as well. I think you'd enjoy the girls that post there.

Hope to see you joining us.

Hi Mimi,

Hi Gloria, and welcome! Glad to have you here!

I see thinthinker has already invited you to our 300+ section... hope you come over and join us and wanted to second that invitation. It is a wonderful group and though I didn't quite "qualify" when I started they were so welcoming and encouraging so I joined right in anyway!
