All of you have made me smile! Thank you for celebrating with me. I haven't actually planned a celebration. I went for a walk with my sister and did the happy dance. She is on a similar journey and is at a lower weight -- she is also 16 years younger than me....! She gave me 4 shirts that she has 'outgrown'. Very pretty.

I find that I celebrate daily when I can move and bend and just plain do things with more ease. My granddaughter commented this morning that she remembers when I would run in the morning. I told her I am going to be running again soon - I had stopped when my Achilles was giving me lots of grief and my knee was protesting hardcore. Both are feeling good and have been feeling good for awhile. I think it is time to embrace my inner runner!

How tall are you? That should help you determine a weight that is practical and sustainable. 5’8 and 150 lb— great. 5’3” and 150 pounds, not so much. I have probably 6 kinds of nuts at any given times. I bake and cook with them every day. I also make up 100 calorie snack packs of different mixtures just for grab and go when I hike.

Hi Kenna I am around 5'6" maybe a shade more. At least I like to think so especially as the grandkids are growing taller than me! I love nuts but the problem is that I have chosen to eat a generally plant based, flourless and dairy-free food plan which means that many of my past 'go-to' type snacks are no longer on the menu. So when I am looking for a quick snack nuts are an easy but high calorie answer. I incorporate nuts in my daily diet - I certainly see them as nutritious and delicious - however when in snack mode overeating them is very easy to do. I am capable of ridiculous sized portions so I have to guard against grazing in general. Choosing unsalted nuts has kept me from being quite as compulsive in the not stopping department.

Hi Carol - As women age it is equally important that we focus on retaining our muscle mass and bone density. Sometimes that is difficult to do when we are focusing on losing lbs. So keep that in mind as you continue your journey ! Stay well.

Thank you CrazyChick. I am very careful to exercise daily (no less than an hour a day) - I do weights, cardio and flexibility exercises. Because I had Breast cancer and am on some hormone blockers I am tested regularly for bone density - thus far I am in high average. However your caution is something that we all have to pay attention to.
