Walking or dancing is a great exercise... And you are right... the weight most likely will come off slowly - but it is not the paste - but the final results that count..

10 lbs is not much so I do understand the low motivation... I wanted to lose 5- 10 lbs... not too much that my extra weight is a huge problem... but it is enough for me to want to get it off...

 Hi Heather:

I love my fitness pal.  I use it so much that it has become my constant companion.  I like it because I can check my calorie account and see if I have any left to spend,  if not, fluids only.......

Cinderella:

Have you been figuring out your protein intake.  I have been looking at your eats for the last few days and it looks like you are really down on your protein and up on your carbs.  I do not know how many proteins are in your shake and that may be where you are getting most of them.  If so, you may want to add another shake to boost the proteins and boost your weight loss if you are in a stall.  You don't want to lose your muscle.  I hope you don't mind my suggestion, I just want everyone to succeed.  Have a great day!

Thanks for checking up on me Tess.  I always appreciate your insight and words of wisdom. 
I've been doing 2 scoops of protein in my shakes for a total of 52g of protein.  I am finding it hard to meet my protein requirements without drinking the shakes.  Hopefully someday I'll be able to meet the requirements without having to drink them, but it's not today.

Thanks for keeping me on my toes.      :)

I don't mine the shakes at all.  I still have one a day at almost six years out.  I do what ever I can to make sure that I meet my protein intake.  If I just ate food, I doubt that I could get all my protein in.  If you can tolerate protein bars, you might want to add or substitute one for the Special K crisp bars.  That would probably help with your count.  You are doing good but running after the grandkids will burn a lot of energy and the protein will keep you going strong.
