I seriously only weigh myself every couple of months or so because of this same issue! I workout 3 to 4 x per week burning anywhere from 250 - 600 cals per workout! Good sweaty ones! I am 5' 2" and 160 lbs. I used to get uneasy and "disgusted" if I started creeping toward the higher 130's.... I am 56 years old now and look…

Day 4, staying within and a little under my calorie allowance - no alcohol! I have an active job, dog groomer, so haven't been to exercise class this week. Back on Monday to aerobic, weight, bootcamp style classes 3x per week and will incorporate some of my at home workouts! (Fitness Blender! a great free website) How are…

Day 2 of logging my food, no alcohol, lots of water... here we go!!!

I'm in! I'm 56 and really frustrated with my body and stuck weight!! I have re-logged on here today and will start my journey to lose 20 lbs! I have no problems exercising and do classes 3x per week and try to do other 2 days at home with Fitness Blender (great free site!) My weight simply will not move! I did try a keto…

My story is basically the same, except all my stubborn, won't move weight started at around 55, Im 56 now... sooo frustrating! I have been working out at least 3x per week - going to bump it up to 5. some sessions I was registering 600 calories on a brutal sweaty workout. Felt amazing. But the scale will NOT budge. I am…

Sounds good! I'm in... going to Hawaii in February so 20 lbs would be just awesome! I am over 50 and the weight is a real bugger to move, but I'm determined! Started working out again - fitting in 2 mornings a week before I open my dog grooming shop... have stopped walking as I lost my beautiful dog Feb, 2018... I need to…

Love this! "you lose weight in the kitchen" very sound logic that hits home for me! Your weight loss journey sounds like my own,,, lots of exercise, little results scale wise. But I am feeling strong, and clothes are fitting better, even though the pesky scale wont move more than 3 or 4 lbs up and down.. in over 7 weeks of…

I agree! I can't bear to look either... I'm 5'2" and am over 155 lbs for sure... yikes! Also am 55 years old so the weight is very stubborn. I am committed to loosing 20 lbs!!! Been journalling here and doing HasFit workouts! Love them!!

Go ladies go!! I used to have 10 lbs and its now 25!! It gets away on you if you let it... I'm also 55 now and the last few years have been tough in so many ways...

Thanks for this! I have checked these guys out and like the free friendly format. Have started the 30 day get fit challenge. On day 4. Rest day- Thanks again!!

Sorry, just saw these replies. Thanks guys for your comments and support. I know I need to journal better and keep track of my weight.. Will keep plugging along. Thanks again! Good luck to you all and add me as a friend!!

Thanks so much everyone for sharing your tips! I know my cheat days are killing me... before I turned 50, I could cheat on weekends and still stay at my target. My body says NO MORE.... Damn!!! I need to get back to being my usual very exercise, active self.... in a rut. Going to walk my dog today, as I do everyday, and…

Thanks guys! I will check out some of these videos!! My weight does not go down sticking to my calories goal of 1200. Will keep at it longer. I do cheat on weekends. Nothing crazy tho.

I am glad I read this. I am at a similar point. Lost 5 lbs in 3 weeks then back up 5 after sticking to my 1200/day and keeping active. I have 15/20lbs more I would like to lose. I'm starting to think I will never be under 150 again. Discouraging. Also in menopause. Good luck and stay motivated!!

Hi Isla. Deb here. I also want to lose 15/20 lbs. I am 54 and the weight used to come off much easier before menopause. It's unbelievable how it just doesn't want to budge! I am going to keep journaling my food and stay positive! Stay strong! I added you if you need motivation!

Your in the right place! Good for you in deciding to get healthy. You are still so young. You will never regret this decision. Congrats on taking the first step....

Hi all. I'm 5'3". 150lbs. Would be happy to lose 15-20 lbs. I also drank too much alcohol and beer over the summer. Wine all other seasons. Lol. Need to get a handle on all of that and watch my snacks. This site has always worked for me if I stick to journaling all my food. Same as weight watchers used to work awesome for…

Hello. Yes! Turning 55 this year and want to lose 20 lbs. It's a bugger!! I look in the mirror and think "where did all that stomach and back fat come from!!?" I am committed to not be old AND fat. Lol. Good luck with your journey.

Hi Neisha! My kids are grown now, but I worked from home and ran a business also when I was younger. I found that tracking and actually seeing results motivated me immensely. I always have a dog, so walking him gets me out everyday (we BOTH need the walk) I tried to fit my excercise in early morning before breakfast so it…

Hi. My story exactly... except I'm up 20 lbs.... ugggh. I know this program works and the support and information here are great! Good luck to you!

Also "new" here again! Good luck to you. Tracking your food really works!!

Wheat toast! Not what toast. Lol

Steel cut oats. 1/3 cup with 2/3 cups water. 95 seconds in microwave. Top with teaspoon or so of brown sugar and a blop of half n half cream. Good with a piece of whole what toast.

Chocolatey, chocolate chocolate. Basically anything chocolate.... Mmmmm. With salted caramel.

Add me! I'm not sure how to add friends yet... Lol.

How do I do that? Lol

Hi. I am 53, changing careers and going back to school. So excited!! I want to lose 15 or so pounds. I'm back at tracking what I eat. It always works, well if I keep to it. And now that I'm over 50 it doesn't come as fast so have lost motivation the last year or so. I'm always active and love excercise so that's not my…
