First Short Term Goal

Good for you Meggan. I know exactly how you feel because I've been "retired" for awhile now and my weight keeps creeping up. As I get older, I don't get as much exercise and spend a lot of my time in quiet activities like the computer or sewing. I do work in the yard, so that helps.

I've been afraid to buy a new scale because my old one got damaged in our move. I would probably be horrified if I got on the scale, so I'm trying to cut back on some of my snacking and lose some of this weight before I even get a new scale. My problem is that I'm a night eater. My husband works nights and I end up trying to keep pretty much the same schedule that he does. We eat our supper early so he can go into work. Then I have a whole evening to myself and as the hour gets later, I end up raiding the snack cupboard.

You have given me some inspiration to set a smaller goal for myself and aim for Christmas too. Good luck to you!

oh lord meggan79 i know how you feel Iam a senior citizen and my weight is horrid i am 207 and I hate it,I hate the way my clothes look, and the large sizesI must weigh. I have decided if I do not accomplish anything else this comiing year I am going to get down to 150 pounds where I feel good and my clothes fit me again.So I need to set a short term goal.I do not get outside much so need to make a promise to walk every day for thirty minutes. I think my first goal will be 196 by Christmas and hope I really can do it, oh I know I can if I work at it. It is hard to lose when you cannot make your own meals but there has to be a way, even if just cutting the stuff in half on my plate. lol.

do swimming regularly..it helps me to reduce about 1,5 kilos in a month, and you should take your dinner before 7 p.m or at least 2 hours before you sleep.
