Disregard my first post on 9/1! Ha! At 55, post menopause, and a decent weight for my height (5'5" & 136 lbs), I have decided to change focus from losing weight to gaining muscle. I'm reading "The New Rules of Lifting for Women" and it talks about having enough calories, carbs, protein, and rest to actually build muscle.…

Hey guys, I haven't posted here for a while, but I do read your posts! I gained about 10 pounds (between last July to April '22) and it is slowly coming off. (I've lost about 5 pounds since April) As I see people my age and younger getting sicker, heavier, and less mobile, it was the wake up call I needed to get back to…

5'5", 55 GW for Jan: 132 2/1: 135.4 Will be spending extra time at Planet Fitness this week as my plumbing backed up and it's the only place I can shower. I guess this is how I manifested motivation to work out more!

Hey everybody, Happy New Year! I'm so excited I was able to quit my 9-5 job, Jan 14th is my last day, so I will hopefully have more time for working out/running and less stress! whoohoo! (Self employed now) I've just been maintaining, trying to keep my weight between 130-135lbs for a couple months. Still working out and…

5'4" 54 9/30: 134.6 I've kept up my exercise (running & weight training) but my eating has been out of control. I'm up 5 pounds but not so worried about the scale, it's the quality of food that I care about. I've been eating too much sugar! Luckily, 2 of my sisters and my mom have all started eating better/drinking more…
