I've been trying to eat healthy and exercise, but the weight is coming off more slowly than I want it to.

oh and hey when i was in my early 30's i did water aerobics.. shallow water then went to deep water <those are harder though> easy on the joints though.. since mine are not good now i may look into that.. though then i had a friend to do it with... wish i did now... and to the point where i would not go in public in a bathing suit lol! was mostly women there i think only one or two guys.. maybe i should go check it out first lol!

I don't really "diet". I know that if I just move that I can lose weight and get healthy. I pretty much eat what I want when I want. Being a vegetarian I don't have a lot of cravings for bad food..
for me it is mainly just staying active, which is hard for me during the winter months as I tend to hibernate.

going public in a bathing suit? how many of us would do that?

I`m on a see food diet. I see food I eat it. Yummoooooooooo.

I have managed to drop 5 pounds just switching off the Mountain Dew and Pepsi, and going to regular, lightly sweetened, ice tea. I add fresh mint leaves to give it a taste. I'm trying to cut back on the sweets, but the chocolate is a slow process... LOL!

yeah the soda pop drinks are a killer. people eat far too few fruits and vegetables in general. it is a great idea to limit carbs and sugars and eat as much fruit and vegetables as you like. i've tried to avoid dieting per se because restrictive diets are known to fail in the long term in most cases. instead, i just try to eat a little healthier and a little less in terms of quantity and try to get outside and enjoy the weather at lunchtime.

now that it is spring, i will take a walk/ride over to the kids playground at lunch and do some sit-ups, pull-ups and walking/biking or jogging there and in the adjacent park.

less food, more exercise, fruits and veggies, less red meat. u know the drill.
older adults r 2 get about one hour a day exercise...walking. gulp. unless medical conditions prohibit u.

i lost 2 lbs my second week... looks like the same will come off this week.. im ok with that though... not giving up!!!! i lost 3 lbs the 2 weeks before my diet... but not counting that however remembering lol!! so 8 1/2 lbs in my 2 weeks of dieting... and almost on my third week... my mom noticed today and actually gave me a compliment wow!! thats a first! weigh in is tuesday... i peeked today though lol!

i think ill go hiking this weekend...
