I'm 48 and going thro menopause and it's difficult sometimes to workout when the cold and hot comes on without notice lol. I love to walk as well and don't do it now as it's too cold but hoping it warms up soo. Too.

Does anyone here have an easy time putting together meal plans including smoothies?

Thx I keep trying

So do u find it a lot easier to exercise on a treadmill/elliptical versus old fashioned lunges push-ups etc?

That's awesome!! I'm in my late 40's and it's very hard for me to keep off the weight I lose. I have tried eating better.. I've stopped snacking on junk food and I love to walk but not in the cold lol

I know whAt u mean Bruce. I see my parents and all the meds they r on for high blood pressure, weight and diabetes and others. I certainly don't want to go thro that either!

Thanks for the confidence!! I can do this!!

I keep thinking of getting a treadmill as well and knowing it will help me out alit!!

I love what you have to say and yes, it is hard some days... Today is one of those days for me :neutral_face: and I know there will be more good days.

That's great to hear everyone's story!! How do you friend people on here?

That is soo true, no more excuses !! The more I work out the better it gets, still a long way to go but the determination is there!! Thanks everyone, it has helped hearing others talk. I found I'm not craving junk food as much or wanting to eat chips which is better for me!! I've been making my meals smaller and sinking…

Thanks! I've noticed the carbs are the biggest problem.

That's awesome!! I have a family member that has diabetes as well... I just have a hard time pushing myself to get there and once I am going it's good.... Just need to push to go. Especially now that I'm trying to exercise (haven't done that for awhile) it's hard and it hurts lol

I have a hard time exercising especially when I am so out of shape and need to do things little at a time but feel it's not enough.

How do you figure out the body fat?
