[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 230150, member: 831"] I'm so glad I wandered over here and read this board. I've been pretty much steady the past two years. At work, we did the school's "biggest loser" competition. Follow whatever healthful plan you desire and the school nurse weighs everyone one a week. Unfortunately for me, age is catching up to me. M knee gave out (I was in a head-on car accident eight years ago and hurt my knee) and I couldn't walk or exercise AT ALL for most of the 10 week competition. I didn't really "diet", I just tried to watch it. Anyway, I still lost 7.5 pounds. I didn't win, but I felt pretty good about what I did lose. I weighed myself today on the school's scale and was very happy to see I only gained one pound over the holidays. I indulged, but didn't go nuts. My issue is always the night time eating to relieve my anxiety and to calm myself. I have a real bad tendency to binge eat at night-the worse time of day to do such a thing. Plus, I love sweets and candy! Portion control is another big issue. Over the holidays we went to my Mom's for dinner every night. She made a BIG DEAL over everyone cleaning their plates. I have exercised on and off over the last twenty years. I know there's no way I'm going to be able to just go all out like in my younger days. I have so many aches and pains now! I take aleve, or advil, before I go to bed so I don't wake up so stiff. I take the dogs out for walks and hikes three to four times a week which gets me out of the house. Last year we bought a hot tub. How husband and I love that thing! Son even uses it to calm himself at night and this morning he got in to wake himself up. Daughter doesn't use it much, always on the phone or computer. Anyway, my body is really sending me strong signals to take better care of myself. There's no way I will be able to have a decent quality of life getting older and carrying this weight around. If I ache this much now, it's not going to get better as I age [/QUOTE]
