Also looking for friends that are active on MFP! Anyone feel free to add me :smile:

I was at a stall for three months before breaking through. Plateaus happen and true plateaus usually last more than a month. I like the idea of eating at maintenance and just putting a deficit through workouts. Maybe not for a year, but a good month or two. Then slowly drop calorie intake again. Just make sure you're…

Just turned 40 last Fall, motivated friends always welcome

I lost 7 pounds so far this year, yay!!!! It's definitely possible to lose weight and get in shape over 40. It's just taking longer than it did before. I had to measure and weigh my food precisely to lose those 7 pounds. Wasn't easy but I'm definitely worth the fight. Gotta keep it up!

I just joined Twinbody, it's pretty cool. I didn't know there's twin posts on here, how does that work?

Yes, I agree. Maintenance was harder for me.

Added you ladies :smile:

This sounds so good! I'll have to try it!

I love smoothies! And M-F it's always easiest for me to make a quick shake. I drink IdealShake and liking it so far, pretty tasty. I already meal prep and plan lunch and dinner, adding a shake during the week helps me so much.

I just started IdealShake for breakfast and it's very tasty. I've had it plain vanilla with almond milk, and also with frozen blueberries also yummy. Perfect for quick easy breakfast you don't have to plan, I get tired of meal preping everything! Has been doing a decent job on controlling hunger. I don't always have a…

I'm LOVING all these posts!!!!! Especially knowing you are not letting age stand in the way of your goals, inspired! Adding you all

Couldn't agree more, weightlifting is soo very important!!!! I'm all about finding my tight shapely figure.

Yes I've learned to just enjoy the food but log it! I'm all for margaritas vs fat free dressings, lol.

I also had 100 lbs to lose, about 70 lbs to go. What I found easiest to follow is not to "diet" at all. I eat whatever I like or crave but just make sure it fits within my calorie range. This helps me from binge eating later on. Of course I try to eat more nutritious food and watch my macros, but every now and then I just…

I'm also 5'3 222 lbs right now. It's no fun how quickly weight shows on us shorties.

Youthfulness. Being healthy and fit keeps me feeling young

I love this!!!! I totally agree 100%! It may take a little longer but our goals are still very attainable. I know a few people who are in the best shape of their lives over 40. And running circles around some 20 year olds.

Haha, it's just not fair, acne at our age!

I'm adding you ladies

It's ridiculous!!!

5'3 and losing about 60 pounds, definitely could use more accountability friends with similar goals

Hey fellow shorties!!!! I'm 5'3 and looking to lose 50-60 pounds. Definitely add me, I'm looking for buddies with similar goals.
