Chat about how well your latest diet is -- or is not -- working. This group is a great place to find support and accountability as well as share success stories and valuable lessons with the community. From where to start to weekly weigh-ins, get help from others to reach your dieting and weight maintenance goals.
Hi All, I'm new and excited about this support group and getting in shape for the summer! It's a lot harder for me to lose weight in my mid-50s than when I was younger. Decided to try some new supplements today and will see what the outcome is. I have an issue with eating at night while watching tv. I just like to have something to snack on! I also like afternoon snacks, especially chocolate. Hopefully, these supplements will curb my cravings. :)
I am also in my mid-50's and yes, getting on top of this weight loss/maintenance only gets harder and harder. Looking forward to hearing some ideas and insights from others that have been success at getting off of the yo-yo, up and down roller coaster. I hope to learn some new lifestyle changes with long lasting results.
Here is one thing that has helped me on my journey, if it is helpful to anyone else. My kids are off in college and beyond so it is just me at home so I often don't cook so I eat things that are easy for me, but not good for me. SO... I started making a large pot of vegetable soup on the weekends, having that for meals through the week and even taking it to work for lunch. It has provided me with a quick, satisfying, yet healthy options to that dreaded question "what should eat for dinner". Good luck everyone!! Stay positive!
