Pick Yourself Up and Start All Over Again


Here I am again. I still can't maintain my weight through stress.

I have success with Atkins/High Protein approach over and over again. My body likes it. It works for me. And stress still calls for those Calming Carbs and even when I have 'legal' carbs, I turn to the old ingrained ones from my past. Some old program still thinks I can just 'return' to my younger eating patterns and not gain weight. And that magical thinking has not worked. I'm 70 now and these extra pounds mean ...

My Goals:
Start strong and stay with 'my' program.

Remember, I am NOT dieting, I am changing.

Walking & exercise.

It's not a diet, it's my lifestyle.

My Program:
 Atkins/High Protein works really well for my body. I've been here before but see have used it as a 'diet' not a real change-point choice. Learning now for life.

Walking is my best fitness activity but I've now added some exercises.

    Hi Red. See we've had the same issues. Once I made my mind up to permanently change my behavior I've had years of slow and deliberate weight loss. We've got this 💪. I eat normally and what I like. If I go over it's okay tomorrow is a new day 😊👍

    The recommended macros didn't seem right to me at first but I thought what the heck and tried it. I've lost 37.5lbs in 22 weeks... it works and I'm not hungry and don't binge... good luck

    On a computer (not mobile) go to the nutrition tracker and scroll to Reoprts, click on Full Daily Report. It shows the break down of everything you logged for the day and gives pie charts of the recommended macros (carbs, protein and fat) and actual
