I'm 5 foot and have about 20 lbs to lose. I need some motivation and accountability buddies that will help me get and stay on track. I'm 61 and weight loss is hard.

I too am looking for an accountability buddy.

Your height, weight and measurements tell me you are thin. Perhaps you just need to tone up? I wish I had your waistline!

That is a tough one junkemail336. I understand because I almost died from Anorexia when I was 34 and continued to be eating disordered for many years after my "recovery." I occasionally get those thoughts of returning to starvation, but I really like feeling healthy and strong and I remember how weak I was, how thin my…

Eugguedel, my mom used to say things like that. She would tell me I'd be pretty if I lost weight. I'm sorry that your mom isn't as supportive as she could be. My triggers to overeat are boredom and laziness. Sometimes I eat because I'm bored and sometimes I eat what is convenient rather than take the time to cook up or fix…

You look amazing! Very inspiring, thanks for sharing!

Wow, what an inspiration you are! Thank you for sharing your photos. Would love to hear about your amazing, successful journey!

How many grams of protein are you aiming for each day? Do you eat eggs? Do you eat meat? I go over my protein allowance (MFP underestimates my protein needs) and I only eat 2 meals a day, both containing meat and/or eggs. Are you getting protein from protein shakes? That is inferior protein (especially plant protein) and…

Hi, I'm Kelly and at the end of June I will be 61. I live in Western Washington and am glad I found this challenge! June Start Weight: 108 June Goal Weight: 103 Ultimate Goal Weight: 90 (I'm very short and petite, so this is not underweight for me!) June 1: 108 June 8: 107.6 June 15: June 22: June 29: June 30:

Thanks for the warm welcome ladies! Your comments just prove that there is no one-size-fits-all eating plan and it takes a lot of experimentation to figure out what works best for ourselves.

I don't follow people's recipes or meal plans. I do intermittent fasting with a 16/8 or 18/6 window most days and just eat whole, natural foods. I always plan to eat 20 or less total carbs per day, but some days when I'm craving a lot of veggies or 1/4 cup berries in my yogurt (Fage 5% plain greek) I can get up towards 30.…

I tried to add my name to the accountability spreadsheet but it doesn't look current. It has 2020 dates. Is there a 2024 version?

Baby Shark!!!

Yes, went skinny dipping a few times in various places in Montana. Super fun! Have you ever had sex in the water?

I forgot to mention that if you are hypertensive you should not take Licorice Root. Sorry about that...

Try taking Eleuthero Root, otherwise known as Siberian Ginseng. Also, Licorice root helps a lot too. They are safe herbs that can really help reduce adrenal fatigue. If you can afford it or your insurance allows it, seeing a Naturopath might really help! Good luck and keep us posted!

I never believed it until it happened to me. I have not put weight on in my midsection until the last year or so. Very frustrating!

So far I have not been able to force myself up at 4 am for exercise. I'm truly not lazy, don't know why its so hard but I'm wondering if I should just try to do my 10 minutes of strength training when I get home. In bed at 9:30 pm, sleep for like 4 hours and then up at 4:15 am and not sure I can get up earlier than that.…

Thanks for the warm welcomes!

Maybe I need to look into carb cycling...not even sure how it works but have heard a lot of good things about it. I will research it. Glad to know its working for you jewels147!

I just joined this group and I'm in. My goals for this month are to avoid refined sugar, exercise at least 30 minutes every day and to eat healthier snacks. So far I'm eating much healthier and am getting in lots of cardio (I do lots of brisk walking up and down the hills of Seattle as part of my commute) but my struggle…

Hi, I'm new and 51, dealing with menopausal problems that include weight gain that stubbornly doesn't want to come off. I know I'm not alone!
