:D That's about how I feel. Over the winter months,through having bigger meals, I've put on quite a bit of weight, something I didn't notice until I tried on my summer pants and couldn't get into them. grr. Now I'm impatient to get rid of those extra pounds.
 

Liquid stevia is natural.

Granular stevia contains Maltodextrin in order to keep it pourable. Maltodextrin is known to cause stomach upset and diarrhea.

Ten pounds coming your way.:lofl:

I don't really have much of a weight problem. Whenever I get a few extra pounds ( as now) I try to fix it before it becomes a
problem.

Folks who become morbidly obese should practice that instead of waiting for the piano movers to get you
into the ambulance.

I weighed 107 from the time I was 14 until my late 40s. Then I had to take a drug that caused weight gain. I am still on that drug at age 58. I weigh just shy of 130 and would also like to lose about 10 pounds. I was very athletic and now I am not because of an auto accident that left some permanent damage to my neck and brain stem. Anyways, my clothes are getting tight so I shall join you and try to lose a pound a week for 10 weeks. I'll begin June 1 and weigh in on that day. I don't eat out nor do I eat processed food. I mostly eat good quality protein, all organic, lots of fruit, some vegetables. The only grain I eat is gluten free oats for breakfast. Portion control is my big issue. I was always able to eat as much as I wanted without gaining weight. Now I cannot.
 
Obesity is one of the problems that they donā€™t seem to have an answer for.
Here is an idea brought out by Dr. Joel Wallach who says it is a mineral deficiency and what proof has he got maybe history. Years ago there was no or rare people who were obese so it is not genetic. As a vet he knew just how to fatten up animals to market it was easy just stop their mineral supplements and gives them food with lots of calories. There has been compost piles found from the age of the dinosaurs in that compost there is a minimum of 70 different minerals. The soil today is deficient of most all those minerals. Today a farmer needs to put on fertilizer [minerals] to grow crops and crops only need 9 minerals to grow. It is obvious if you where to put a spoon full of salt or sugar out side the next rain it would be gone and it time it would be in the ocean. Even the fruits and vegetables from 100 years ago had a lot more minerals and vitamins than fruit and vegetables to-day. A funny thing happens when you are deprived of minerals your body starts cravings and you will eat anything to get these minerals it needs.
 
I am quite good at watching my weight. I do eat bad things....cheese balls, pringles etc which I know are bad but I DO like to nibble when I read and carrot sticks do not do the trick. However, I do eat them in moderation and that is what I think the answer is...eat what you want...but in moderation. Two weeks ago I had a bad fall and for a week was hardly able to move....so, in self pity, I took to the settee and sat feeling sorry for myself munching all the bad things I could think of (and enjoyed every minute of doing it). However, a week later...the dreaded scales showed an increase of 7lbs. I just shows how easy it is to put on and how hard it is to take off. So, June lst it is.....cut back time and try to do a little more exercise.
 
I lead an active lifestyle.
Being on my feet at work all night helps with the circulation and I'm careful with my food.
Plenty of chicken and fish and a really guilty feeling if I eat too many chips, fries or chocolate! My one main weakness is I like a beer at the weekend....but then why not reward yourself after a week at work?:rolleyes:

I train at the gym four times a week, doing cardio and a lot of weights and I'm a healthy 16 stone.

I know I'm a baby here at 49, but I aim to continue with this fitness lifestyle into my ripe old age, Godwilling! :)

What I do Holly, is to type into Senior Forums search a thread title guess to see if there's anything relevent. That it's way out of date doesn't make it irrelevent.
On the subject of weight loss, has anyone ever given up totally on alcohol and lost a substantial amount of weight as a result?
How the weight fell off me once I was on the wagon.

Yes, I lost 40 pounds in just a few months by discontinuing my indulgence in alcoholic beverages. I did not modify my diet or lifestyle in any other way. I did also quit using table salt as well. This effort wasn't specifically for weight loss, but because my blood pressure was dangerously high.

Given up totally??? Why start ? I've never had a drink (of alcohol) in my entire life. Was active in sports and traveled the URC sprint car circuit with a friend and driver in the 80's. Not exactly a wall flower but never found the need for booze and its potential problems.
I've made it to my early 90's and should be able to make it to the finish without it.

Compliments to you, truth be told I probably gave into perceived peer pressure. Alcohol and nicotine were the legal fixes available and most indulged. How I managed to is something I have often puzzled on. Most penniless students somehow find enough money to drink themselves into a morning hangover. The tobacco I managed to quit round about my early twenties, but the grog, what a social gambit that was!
 
I've been noticing lately the latest weight-loss recipe which seems everyone is using, even actors like Oprah Winfrey. It's called the Himalayan Pink Salt diet which you mix with Apple Cider Vinegar, Lemon Juice and Baking soda and guarantees you can
lose pounds in a matter of weeks. They never tell you the exact quantities and seem to say the same things, I was wondering
if it is AI generated. Has anyone tried this diet and tell us if you have lost a great amount of weight, pictures, before and after if
you have any.

I overcame my weight problem, too.

I got a divorce.

OH! *ba-doom*

But seriously, ladies and germs ... I'm getting quite a little Pooh belly going on here, something I never encountered before. I'm sure it's because I'm spending 7/8 of my day sitting in front of the computer.

I'm getting Secretary Spread. :(

I don't eat much, but even with that if I don't start making time to at least go for daily walks I'm going to be in trouble soon.

By not eating between 7 PM and noon I have lost some weight. I eat whatever I want the rest of the day. But my belly is not as slim as the rest of me.

Not trying to be mean, but that's just another gimmicky diet, like the cabbage diet. Eat normal, just eat smaller portions. Reducing sugar, salt and fat, without torturing your self.

Thanks Nathan. I'm not interested in losing weight, although a couple of pounds here and there would be okay. It's just that I keep seeing people's testaments that they have had considerable weight loss using this method. Film stars, people in Australia
who are known t.v. presenters and any dog's body that wants to advertise. Just curious to learn if anybody on the Forum has
tried it.
 
I lost 50 pounds when I was on the clinical trial for the new liver drug last year, but after the trial ended in December, the weight has been creeping back.

On the drug, it was fairly easy because I really wasn't that hungry....but now, I'm hungry all the time. I have very little will power. I hate exercising. I love food. It's a fatal combination.
