How did you all do over Thanksgiving, and how do you plan to get through Christmas?
I gained a pound over thanksgiving, and I'd rather not gain any during Christmas.

Yeah, let's kick up some more action in the Golden Group. Where is everybody?

Hi All,

I think this forum is a great idea but it appears we are all too busy to converse. I am on the site every day but forget to look at this forum. I wish it was a hot key of something.

I gave me self free rein for 48 hours around Christmas. My insides were miserable when it was all said and done. I guess that is a good thing. My scale tells my tale of woe. I have not let up or changes my exercise routine during the holidays so I should be back down soon I hope.

I am off to hot yoga this morning. It feels great and I am getting a bit better on my balance. My tree does not look like it is in gale force wind. My goals with yoga 1x/week is for balance and flexability. At this age those are two things that are not so hot. I also find that my regular routine does not touch on these areas. I only go 1x/wk because it is the only time I can get to this center with work.

i hope we can get good diet and exercise conversations going. Our chalanges are unique compared to other age groups.

I'm new to CK and would like to join the group. I'm 56. How do I join?

Have you tried the new diet menu at IHOP? They have an omelette that is fantastic and only 330 calories, and that includes the fruit bowl that comes with it.

Grannymac I sent you a group invitation but it doesn't look like it is very user-friendly, just some links.

I gotta figure out how I joined and then I'll come back and post how I did it. It's not that intuitive I guess lol

OK, I think I figured out how to join. Go to the top of this page and click the group name Golden Group. That will take you to the group's home page. Near the top of that page should be a link that says "join group". Let me know if that doesn't work for you!

I found it! Thanks Valpal215! I am happy to be a member of your group.

Welcome Nancy! I really want to get serious about losing weight this year. I've been kind of playing at it for about a year and I'm tired of being fat.

I lost no weight
in 2008
But I will be thin
by 2010

hey here's one I can answer! I'm new but just click on the upper left side JOIN GROUP. I'm a 54 yr. old grandma that is about 60 lbs overweight. Need to get in shape by summer to have some fun

Hello fellow golden groupies,

I would like to join your group, too. I joined CalorieKing last summer but did not do much with it. The New Year seemed like a good time to try again. Hope to get inspiration and some good tips from all of you in this forum.

Best wishes for a healthy 2009!

Hi, golden group members. I also want to join this group. I just turned 60 two months ago and is 40+ lbs. over. I am starting to have health problems and now really serious about getting my body healthy. I will be a year now with CK by February & should be doing more.
I need all the help I could get. I want this to be fun!!!

Getting serious now that it is the new year. I have been looking for a job and my pants are REALLY tight. We retired two years ago and I put on 20 pounds. So wish me luck
