SilverLady, Here's to a new month and a great weight loss. I know we lose slower when we get to be in our 60's , but we can still do it. Aunt Bee where do you live in Washington? I live in Portland,Or just off of Hwy 26 going towards the beach. I have also been dieting all my life, but decided this time that it will be a life change. I hope it helps me. Bev from Oregon

Hi Bev: Thanks for the advice of staying away from the icing on that cake. LOL

You're right. It has to be a life style.

Unfortunately I find myself going back to my old life style and familiar eating habits.

It's March 1. A new month. A new day.

We 60 plus "dieters" will take it one day at a time. Here's to a successful day for you and I.

Hi Silverlady: You had better stay away from that icing on the cake. lol I know where your coming from. Why has it taken me until 65 to know that it has to be a life style? I guess when your young you have to many other things to preoccupy you time with. Bev from Oregon

Hi Joni
Hi Bev
Hi EBHALOHA

Ditto to your greeting, DBHALOHA. Good luck to all on your daily endeavors.

Speaking for myself, being healthy and strong is my ultimate goal. Losing weight will be the frosting on the cake.

Hi Ebhaloha, This time I have decided that being healthy really is the best goal. It has to be a way of life. I love Canada. We drove all the way across to Nova Scotia when I was about 50. Have a great week. Bev from Oregon

Hi Bev
Welcome to the SparkPeople website. Great place to be. I'm a newbie also and I am so glad I found this program. I'm also in the 60's+ range and currently living in western Canada.
Good luck on your daily endeavors. Being healthy and strong is the way to go.

Hi Joni: I am 65 and also new to Sparks. I started the New Year resolution thing and have been finding lots of help on the net. I have lost 8 lbs. so far, but have been on a plateau for 2 weeks. I get discouraged from time to time, but I am going to keep on keeping on. Welcome Bev from Oregon
