This group is for those dealing with the challenges of being fit when you have a significant amount of weight to lose which becomes harder after age 40. If you're an old or new friend and not over 40 and feel this is the place to post, jump right in!

Went to the pool today, 20 minutes in we were asked to get out of the pool due to fouling. Sigh if children are not ready for the big pool why set them up for failure?? Use the kiddie pool.
Judy our mods are on vacation or up to their eyes in paper. LOL! I guess one will be along sometime that can change the #, if not we will just go on as if it is right.
How are all of you doing?
Can't remember the user name, sorry, but welcome back and I think the other board just vanished and they are under a different title.
Those of you that believe in prayer, please say one for my sister Martha. She is 85 and for the last 3 or 4 weeks she has been having health problems. She has to go for a transfusion next week. We don't know what the problem is yet. The blood is going somewhere.
My son is improving daily it seems. He is getting cabin fever. LOL! I think he is about ready to climb the walls. He is high energy type person and this is really getting to him. I am afraid he is trying to overdo it too. (takes after his Dad).
Enough about me. How about all of you? I am down about 9 lbs since doing the low potassium, BUT, that is not into new territory! Just 9 lbs of what I gained back. I may make it to a new low yet. Would be nice!
Morning all - it's so good to be home. We ended up in the airport for about 9 hours yesterday. The pups were so happy to see us - well, I guess we were happy to see them also. We had a good time - ready to get on with the business of springtime around here - hope to get some planting done and the pool open this weekend.
I gained 13 pounds - YEP - 13 pounds in a week. I know some of it is water but food choices were not good at times. We walked a lot - one day we walked 7 miles.
RuthYour sister and son are in my thoughts today. As are you. And congratulations on losing 9 pounds. Yeah!!!!
carolI remember being so mindful on vacation and coming back to a 7 pound weight gain. I lost 11 the following week. Yes likely you gained water weight.
JudyYou are rocking it!!!!
Not doing so great on my end. A bad few days. I will walk today.
Deb, thank you for the yahoo, but I am thinking that was a lot of water!
Thanks to all of you for the good thoughts for my sister. They went ahead and did her transfusion today, also a bone marrow test. Keep the prayers coming please. I am so worried about her. It hasn't caused me to go running to the fridge yet. My own health is at stake with this low potassium diet, so I will do it!
Hi! Remember me??! I can't believe how busy I've been. I'm working on trying to get the eating at least under control and get more moving in. Last night I went into Chicago to visit a friend and at least got to walk from the train station. More exercise than I've had in a while.
Work is still nuts but I'm hoping it will calm down in a couple of weeks. A girl can dream.
300+ and getting fit after 40 - #298
Ruth
Would be nice!
