Hi, I'm Kim. I was surfing last year and found this site and have used it off and on. I love this site and have decided to come back . I tried doing this alone without support from a group but I just can't do it alone anymore. I found out that I have high blood sugar due to being very overweight so I need to lose for health reasons but I know I'll just feel better too. So far I've lost 9 lbs but am stuck. I'm not sure why. I am 45 years old so I know my metabolism has slowed down. I ride my recumbent bike 20-30 minutes every day. I do have a question. I'm about to start my monthly and am wondering if that could be part of the reason I'm not seeing the scale move. Also, do I need to try other forms of exercise. Please help, thanks.

    Hi Kim. We are close to the same age I am 47. Yes, your metabolism does slow down. That is when you need to change things and do different kinds of workouts. I know what I do now I love and it has changed my life so much and my families. If you would like to talk further send me a friend request. 9 lbs. is great!

    Yes "TOM" (that Time Of Month) can impact your weight. Some months I gain & others I've stay stagnant with my weight. I would try some new things to your workout-maybe workout DVDs, weight training, walking or anything else to get more muscles working to help burn some calories.

    Feel free to send me a friend request if you need more cheering!

    You should look into the Belly Fat Cure. It will address the high blood sugar too. It has been working great for me!!
