  • Hey! I am late to the party and at the older end of this spectrum too: Age: 49 (50 in June) Ht: 5'2 HW: 149 (Jan 19, 2017) LW: 109 (very unhealthy - post-separation stress loss) CW: 135.2 GW: 125 (my measurements are more important to me as I try to be active, love to be outside, and don't want to lose my bust!)

  • I'm all over the suggestion of moving your body in a way that you enjoy. It took me two years of running with my then-boyfriend to realize I actually don't enjoy running (even though I was pretty decent). But I DO love being outside. So I do lots of "functional exercise"...if I have to pick up something from the grocery…

  • I am 5'2 and 49 years old. My calorie goal is 1200. I am a pretty devout food weigher (it really makes a difference I find), but won't beat myself up if i go over occasionally (like 1-3x a week). I keep reminding myself that this a sustainable change, not torture. I love a glass of wine (or 3) but I measure it out just…
    in 1000-1200 calories, anyone? Comment by hamsammy67 March 2017
  • Love that, @melaniedscott! those are our favourite vacations too! (and it's not just the craft beer "rewards" after the multi-hour hike/nordic ski/snowshoe...lol!) Sadly for me, I moved from British Columbia to Manitoba where it is mostly prairie (beautiful in its own way, but I love going uphill!) Anyway, it's a gorgeous…

  • Count me in! I can relate to you, ShyCush6...I too am a beer kinda gal! And we like to eat out and have the big weekend breakfast. BUT I can usually make it through the whole day being "good"...and then on weekends, blow it by having a beer and homemade popcorn (made with oil, but not buttered). It KILLS me! However,…

    in Over 45 anyone else out there ?! Comment by hamsammy67 February 2017
  • I love everybody's motivation! I went through a painful separation in 2013 and lost more than 30 lbs over a very short time (couldn't eat, ran a TON to forget, was in a deep depression). Not good on a 5'1 frame. I was skeletal. Well, happy to say that I found love again, got engaged in the summer, and am up 50 lbs (happy…

  • I would love to a mentor! I'm going to be 50 in June, and would like to connect with female Noobs (and others) who are in the 45-55 range so that we can support each other with our unique life challenges. I've enjoyed a life of healthy living (both indoors at the gym and outdoors in nature) and I've also enjoyed periods…

  • I guess it really depends on your relationship with your co-workers. Do you normally get along well? If so, then maybe they mean to rib you about it? Perhaps you are mistaking their intent? Sometimes people think they're being funny, but it actually gets received as hurtful. If you have a good relationship with your…
