Can i join the club?

Count me in, but I am the senior member at age 58. Plus I have the most to lose, 157 lbs. So, I will be here for a long time.

Linda from Ga, but hey I did live in Ohio as child and have relatives still there, does that count.

Im afraid im the senior.Just turned a young 58 in June.I think you need to go to bed.I had to laugh when i read your post.Have a good one.  But ill join you in the B.B.W Club.   Linda            

Hollysmom when did you turn 58,may be im not the senior one.The post i did just before this one was for MrsBuckeye,I wasnt  telling you to go to bed.I think i need to go to bed.  Linda

LOL! I only have a goal of 27 right now, but I know exactly what you are talking about! I am so out of shape, and I know having four babies doesn't help, but just today, I got a "You're looking great! Oh no, you just had a baby, so you really look good!" I'm like "Yeah thanks... whatever". I'd like to look good... Not "Good-for-just-having-a-baby". I just barely got into 14's for heavan's sake! And it came from a 40 year old who wears size 4... ***rollin my eyes***

Wait... I keep reading that - I have a goal of 27... can that really be right?

162.... goal 135 -- wow, that makes me feel like a whiner!!! What the heck am I worried about?

Anyway - I'll probably still be coming to the site even at goal weight... maybe I'll inquire about a moderator job :) At least I could be getting paid for sitting at the computer all day lol

LOL I'm still working on NOT coming here, so have a good night ladies! (ya'll know that won't work)

Annalisa

My youngest is definitely fighting her middle age spread these days ... OR so she thinks and lamenting the fact that she might be a grandma sooner than she would like to think and doesn't understand why she is suddenly hot and then suddenly cold!  HoooOOT!!

I'd like to join too but I'm not a night owl- how many people do you know who are reading baords at 4:30 Am on a Sunday morning LOL?  Just call me Nan- I will be 60 in November so am probably one of the oldest here.  I have 2 grown children and a 20 year old I had when I was 39.  I'd like to lose a lot more weight; so far I've lost 15 on Alli since June 21st but it is slowing down now (a pound a week if I'm lucky).  I never had a weight problem until my mid 40s and then every year, it seemed I gained 5 pounds even though I was always on a diet!!!!  My mother was obese and died at 74 five years ago and that still didn't  motivate me to really lose some needed weight drat it!  I need all the motivation I can get and ironically, I have been walking 5-6 mornings a week for 45 minutes to an hour and still lose so slowly and of course, yoyo.  Let's all really support one another and post at least once everyday.

OK .. to make this place successful we need to know your "real" name and age - that gives us a closer bond/friendship if we can reply back to an actual name.  And ya know what - we're not getting older - we're getting BETTER !!! 

Annalisa .. you're always welcome here .... you didn't realize by now thaty you've become my "sudo" daughter (what the heck does sudo mean anyway ? lol)

7:09am/Ohio - I've already unloaded the dishwasher ... put wash in the dryer, put the dogs cat hair covered bed in the dryer to hopefully de-hair it ? (lol) ... made a pot of coffee for whenever hubby wakes up and considering washing the bathroom floor (but that would mean I'd have to get down on my knees .. THEN how could I get back up ???!!)

So - has anyone tried this powdered drink called "SPARK" ?  I purchased a box of cranberry and a box of pink grapefruit a while back when my daughter & I were at WallyWorld.  I feel it's way to strong to use in a regular bottle of water - so I have a huge glass of ice water and I put a package of the cranberry spark in it - it's quite tasty.  It's a sugar free caffenated drink - 5 calories and total fat 0.  Just enough caffeine to get going in the morning !

Sher (I'm 54, 271 lbs)
Sounds like an AA meeting ??

Good morning all, back on the message boards and see lots of new emails to read. Went on to bed last night since the other Linda told me too, Just kidding, I knew you meant  Sher.Yes, I am addicted to the board. Gives me hope to see how everyone else is doing and what they are eating.  Stats, I am 58 yrs old, 5' 4" and weight 286.2 as of this morning, and live in GA.. Started at 297, that is a lot of weight on my poor body. All my children are grown, married and out of the house. So , I don't have to cook but just for two. He wants all the fried , sweet things he can handle. Course he doesn't need to lose weight either.

I have tried the Spark, like the orange best. It does have caffeine and aspartame in it though so not for you Taylor. I can't go full pack on the cranberry though, too strong. My first weigh in is tomorrow. I have to get on the scale every morning though. I can't pass by it and not step on it. It calls to me. I am not big on exercise, never have been , that is why I am in this trouble now. I am starting to add a little as I go along.

It is so hot down here , we could stand outside and melt off a few pounds. Over 100 for the last few days. Even my poor dogs don't want to go out for any length of time.

Linda

trasco (ummm what's your first name?)  unfortunately, yes, it has aspartame in it (I had to get out the magnyfying glass to read the ingreadients !!!)   Dang it anyway - thought we had something you could take !

Sher

Linda/GA ... I haven't tried the Orange spark yet - I'm not that keen on orange flavored drinks, does it remind you of a strong Tang ?? lol

Like I said - I don't pour the stuff in a bottle of water, I use a LARGE plastic cup and stir in it, that's the only way I can tolerate it, as it's very strong tasting to me.

The humidity is finally down here in Ohio - one can breath not only in a non air conditioned house but you can also tolerate to go outside !

My breakfast this morning consisted of one container of Kroger's brand of scramblers, a full green pepper and a huge tomato - all cooked up in a skillet then topped with 1 piece of 2% american cheese (so I could at least get some fat grams) and then 2 honey wheat english muffins.  I got through about 1/4 of my homemade mixture and 1/2 of a muffin and I was full.  Shadow (my 2 yr old lab/show) enjoyed her breakfast hahaha
