I am 59 years old, married, and retired. My main goal is to lose weight (25 pounds) for health.

Weight has been lost and I am now on maintenance!

Counting calories seems to be the only way I can lose and/or maintain the weight. Mindless munching, especially during the evening, can really add up the calories fast.

    Thanks so much for the walking shoes goodie! I've been plodding along rather slowly since some foot surgery last spring, so it was fun to have a reason to track my miles. I see on your page that you've been hiking the Appalachian Trail - that's an impressive undertaking! Until last year, I lived in SW Virginia. One of my favorite books of all time is, "A walk in the woods" by Bill Bryson. I'm sure you've read it - very funny!

    Thank you for the compliment! I'm also inspired by your page. Hiking the Appalachian Trail! That's incredible. I bet you have stories, eh?

    Thanks for the friend add. Returned!

    I feel you on night munching. Today I'm trying a lot of afternoon munching. Wonder if it will help.

    NEVER GIVE UP; Never lose hope.
    Always have Faith, it allows you to cope.
    Trying times will pass as they always do.
    Just have patience, your dreams will come true.
    So put on a smile, you will live through your pain.
    Know it will Pass, and the strength you will gain.

    Hi Kim,
    I didn't know if you were back yet from all your hiking. You'd mentioned that you may be interested in doing the X-weighted challenge again in Summer after taking the Spring round off. We're about to start the Summer challenge, so I thought I'd check back and see if you were around yet. I hope to hear back from you as to what's going on and how your hiking went.
