Just slow and steady, what is the alternative? Definently the last 10 especially are tough to lose..I set my standards so low that I am giving myself 1 lb a month weight loss as my bar. I have 7 to 8 lbs left to lose. So by first day of spring I am hoping that I am going to hit my goal. The main thing for me is to lose 1…

True I have done both. I am a fan of IF...but switched it up a month ago to eating in a 10 hour window (including breakfast) instead of a six hour eating window I just am eating less and still losing weight. It is easier to eat less at supper when I know that 14 hours later I can have breakfast so it all evens out IMO

Age 51 - started period on September 8th went for about 10 days then stopped then a week later bam...another heavy three days of period. LOL I thought they were supposed to be further apart!

All or nothing way of trying to lose weight. If I ate something I considered "bad" I would use that as an excuse to blow the rest of the day because I can start fresh tomorrow only often to have the same thing happen. I no longer do that..I eat pizza/sweets/chips but in moderation. This attitude I had of have to eat…

5'4"..weigh 159.0 wear a size 12 in jeans.

Exactly...same here..I will have pizza on Friday for supper..just two slices though and that is it. I allow myself chips the odd time but again in moderation so I buy an individual bag and then eat half and save the other half for another day. I do not deny myself anything but just eat less of what I want daily. If we have…

The whole social media, esp. facebook and people bragging about their lives. I have unfollowed people that I am "friends" with because honestly there lives seem so much interesting than mine (lol).....pics of them here there and everywhere/posing with their many friends, etc. etc. It does kind of make you think holy smoke…

Gosh for sure...I find the early morning awakenings are not good...I will often wake up between 3 and 5 if something is bothering me...I hate it! Then first thing I do is start thinking...gah!

Yeah I have tried mediation, etc. at night but I find I do it more when all is good in my life but when things get stressful I tend to let it slide because then my mind starts going non stop so I think why bother...ironic I know but that is what I do. I guess when I am most frazzled is when I should make a point to…

Yep 2019 definitely an "off" year. The whole year to now has been one stressful thing after another in my world:(

I love IF, I did it last year for most of the year and lost over 25 lbs on it. WHen I had 10 lbs left to go it kind of stalled so I am now switching it up...I eat breakfast now but...I eat about half of what I used to before I began IF last year and I eat about half of what I used to for supper because mentally something…

I do use tazorac cream which is a prescription retinoid cream. .I guess I will keep using it. I don't use it every day but want something else to try on other days. What about oils. I.e. olive, vitamin e, etc.?

What about derma rollers?

Started to implement this by having a tepid shower then at the end blasting it to cold for 15 seconds or so...lots of benefits supposedly. I think it is better for your hair/skin than hot.

I am 51 and 3 years ago I weighed 35 lbs heavier....still have 10 to go but what motivates me is more energy plus clothes look better and I want to be in great shape! So hiking, stair climbing and kickboxing r my exercise go tos

Thanks I am going to try meditation...right now when I start having negative thoughts I am telling myself there r those thoughts again and then try and think of something more positive

I think I have to change my thinking for sure:)

Love what you wrote! No history of depression but I tend to ruminate a lot and think negative thoughts so maybe some mild depression I guess. I do exercise and take care of myself for sure. I think sometimes I think when bad stuff happens I will not be able to handle it but I have to realize that I have been thru bad stuff…

Honestly I don't think she did...I know one time she commented on another lady that hikes with her sometimes who I know and she said about her..."it is great that she does all this walking and hiking but she still needs to lose weight". I think I will not hike with her as much as I find that too often the conversation…

Yes I do this if eating something higher calorie etc just eat less of it...we went to McDonald's last week just had the junior mcchicken and small fries. To me way easier to eat what I want just less of it.

I love IF as it reinforced in me not eating after supper, that is so ingrained in me now I hardly think about it anymore and it is not a struggle like it used to be. When I started IF last year I lost 25 lbs...I then stalled as at this point I have 10 lbs left to lose so as I am still doing IF mainly Monday thru Friday but…

I can so relate to this....just thinking the same thing this morning! I have 10 lbs left to go I want to get down to 150.0 weighed myself on Saturday down to 159.5...feeling good because I am in the 150's then did pretty good with eating and exercise all weekend, weighed myself this morning and up a pound:( Tired of the…

FOR looks and being 50 I want more strength as I age. I am a firm believer that as u age u workout more not less. Might be gross to some but I love that sweaty stinky feeling after a good workout!

1 hour kickboxing 45 minute walk with dog 1 hour hike with some incline

This...all that money on one day no thanks

Same...people rushing out Friday then coming back Sunday....what about all of your weekend house stuff to do as well as getting ready for the week ahead?? I don't get how that is enjoyable I could see one day of it but that's it...not the whole weekend thats for sure.

I know so many people that are choosing to not have kids! We only had one child and he is an adult now but for the first 10 years of his life I had the boy you should have another one, it is not fair to him, etc. etc.etc., etc. My SIL commented to someone else years ago that people who just have one child are selfish…

Yep, when someone tells me to calm down it does the opposite!

OMG, I can't believe that people try and convince you that you will change your mind...seriously! WHen someone says that to me, I always tell them yep not surprised as I know lots of people that don't have kids/don't want kids. Nowadays what is the big deal with not wanting kids? Kids are not cheap as well LOL! I had SIL…

I hate when people say they are "Living the dream", I never know what to say to that....it is like, okay you are healthy, have a good job, are alive...to some people that is living the dream.
