Topic : Over 50 WLC Community

Another weigh in day for me.  Down 1# this week - I need to get out of this slow loss thing (only lost 3 lbs during August) so today started adding 10 more minutes to my walk and plan to get it up to a full 60 minutes/day this week.  I am now up to 50 minutes 4-5 days,  sooooo wish me luck..   LOL so far I am doing great and monday have an appt with a trainer to help me get some inches pared off so that wedding dress will 'skim' and not 'cling' to the bod!    

Thanks for all the compliments on the dress - I love it too.  One more will be coming off the sewing table this week - maybe 2.  Depends on how much time I have to myself with everyone calling and dropping by to see how I am doing....OIY!  Spoke with the photographer today....man they durely do not come cheap but he is good and I want quality photos of the big day to share with my friends and family who can not be there.   He also will be setting up my very own website!  I am so excited! 

I wrote out my goals again today and posted them in the kitchen.  The biggest challenge I have these days is stress snacking!   So I try to always be prepared and take crunchy veggies with me everywhere I go and have been taking 1/2 hr at lunch time to just close my eyes and meditate.  It is working wonders for me so far.  

I saw a cute cartoon this week.....wife is urging her rather round hubby to use fluoride to strengthen his teeth.  He says: "Why do I need to use fluoride to strengthen my teeth?  They are the only things getting a good workout lately!"   

Welcome back Neecy glad you finally conquered the monster board.  :-)  

My best to everyone for a great new week!

Vickie - Miss Piggy is just a darling.  Hugs, Shirley 

Hi Vickie - 

Miss piggy is cute, how did she get the name???Hugs Neecy 

Just realised Reen that you are having Marion Karen and Susie for a get together I hope you have a wonderful time. 

It is Sunday here in Australia last night we went to a friends 60th party, tonight it is my mothers 83rd at a restaurant so I am weighing tomorrow and making it the FIRST DAY OF MY NEW FOOD REGIME. Am looking forward to it, i have been right of the rails eating anything i like for weeks, so i feel a sense of purpose for tomorrow and the future.  Reen I do believe gossip can cause calorie burnoff so i hope you girls just get together, and talk talk talk. hugs Neecy 

Hi Shirley - starting tomorrow morning I will weigh in and join the Christmas weight loss challenge.  I am going to get all my Dr Phil books out and my journal and start afresh, now i don't work any more it will be something to focus on and make a big effort.  I might even get in some exercise i went to a shop called Athletes foot, you may have them there and they do an imprint of your foot, apparently my arches are fallen etc etc, i said to the girl don't tell me anymore just point me to the right shoe so i have some very pricey walking shoes but i must say they are very comfortable.  I will do my first walk tomorrow morning.  Did i hear someone say what is wrong with now, well I am going to sit here till I have read all the posts and make some notes so i know what is going on.  If i don't make notes i will forget for sure!!!!!   I think thats a fiftyish disease.    Talk to you soon my friend. It is very exciting to think some of the girls on the board are having a get together this weekend. Hugs Neecy 

Neecy - Have a nice time at your mother's 83rd birthday.  I am happy for your enthusiasm -- this will work IF WE WORK IT.  Unfortunately, I am unable to do brisk walks because of my ankle/foot problem but I still go to The Ladies Room 4-5 days a week to exercise on machines to music, for 40 minutes.  Need to boost my exercise up and do something at home in the early evenings but am working on that. 

I am so excited for Karen, Marion,  and Susie who will be meeting up with Reen today -- will they ever have fun.  This board should be hopping in the next 2-weeks while they vacation -- I am sure they will be posting some interesting posts.  Take care of yourself and wishing you well on the Christmas Challenge (My goal is to get under 200 lbs. -- 199 will do LOL  LOL).  Hugs, Shirley 

Beverly - I will be toasting right along with you.  I am sure they are all so  excited about now and Susie is already in the air heading towards B.C.   

Hope to see more of you on the board, I know we have all missed you.  Hugs, Shirley 

Good Morning, good to see you up and at it. I think this is just great that these girls are getting together in person. They will no longer be just names on the board, they will have a special bond and really be able to motivate each other. Gosh if this turns out they may have a reunion next year and more of us maybe able to go. Might have to make it a camp out, if too many are interested.  

   Well I am really doing the walk but nothing is happening therefore I find it hard to talk the talk.  

   So happy to se that you are doing great, I am watching for your good news of a loss tomorrow.   

                          Have a great day. Love ya. Beverly
