Any advice on what to do next?

I don't really know what to do now. I started MFP (around Feb 2013) at 135 lbs. 5ft 5 inch tall 45 year old female and wanted to get back to what was my normal weight of around 120 to fit into my old clothes (I have never dieted or did exercise before it took me around 5 years to put that 15 lbs. on) . I would exercise 2-3 times a week with 5lb dumbbells for arm and my own body weight for core and legs (no cardio). It didn't take long and I was very happy with the way my body was looking (better that when I was 20) (not to mention all my body aches and pains went away) and was into my old clothes. Being so happy and feel so great I kept going and dropped to 111 lbs.( I am not really concerned with the number on the scale) It was never my intention to lose this much weight It just kinda happen with health eating and exercise LOL, I felt GREAT. The end of May 2013 I guess I kinda panicked and just stopped exercising and went over on my calories. My problem is I really want to start exercising again because all the old body aches and pains are back and I think the muscle I had turned to flab but I still have a weight of 111. Any advice would be great. Thanks

I am thinking of getting the app zombie run and using it to make jogging more fun. There is an MFP group for users. Might that work for you? Do you have a few key MFP friends? Hopefully this post will generate some good ideas for you.

a more natural diet can have such positive effects on the body and so can exercise ...

I'm 45. Yoga worked really well for me to make those aches & pains go away. I find if I stop for any length of time, they come back. It can be like '50 First Dates' for me, I completely forget why I feel great, then stop doing it. Then I start wondering again, search for answers & start back :laugh:

I gotta remember to keep going :smokin:
