Same here I'm trying to get back on track after 3 surgeries since last December. With people bringing me food I ended up gaining almost 20 pounds back so once again I'm trying to get it off It's been about 6 weeks and I'm down 8 pounds.

You can do this , I am also returning to logging my foods as the weight I lost was creeping back . Sticking to my cal goal of around 1300 I am back down 8 lbs after about 6 weeks effort .I am 64 and have hypothyroid but am medicated. Be sure to keep up with your healthy fats and proteins they help you absorb your nutrients…

yes Metamucil and eat cooked zucchini!

You are doing great . and sticking with your allowed cal and a little movement makes so much difference . I did not take a photo until I had lost around 15 I was to embarrassed . but I am so glad I finally did I can see the difference you will see the difference measure and notice how you feel . ( for me it is huge 49 lbs…

yes slow and steady , and burn cal where ever you can working out sis great , but head phones on can turn even tidying the Kitchen into extra calories burned as you bop around in time to the music .

I can finally do lying leg lifts with both legs at the same time ! and can do 2 sets of 10 this is a big improvement for me

I feel your pain ,you get it as you age or when you are heavy , Had it for years . loosing weight has helped a lot . I think it is genetic some of us have less padding on the foot

I have been here for about 1 1/2 lost 44 gained back 7 and now got rid of all but 1 trying to loose another 32 . welcome to our reality calories stink

Sending hugs that is a hefty goal . as a mom who had 2 sons go through basic and went through herself in 1978 . train now . the run and the push ups were what was my hardest part . the recruiting office may have some training available I think the run is 4 miles and the time I am not positive . do not wait until basic to…

I think OP is full of bull . I am 59 and over 1500 cal I gain even working out . not all of us are burning off 1800 a day . OP has an opinion but it is wrong . I have been staying between 1300 and 1600 and weight loss has been very slow . I am ok with slow as 1200 cal was faster but left me hungry .

Fiber is your friend , when you are running around with a gut that is empty it causes you to make poor choices .I stock the house with fibers and snacks meant to fuel me . almonds for minerals , yogurt for probiotics ( I buy plain and add frozen blueberries and a little sweetener ,Stock loads of veggies to allow for a…

try the volumetrics approach, add fiber and water rich veggies and broth based soups like a chicken vegetable as an appetizer it adds few calories but will enable you to feel full with less pasta . It also adds to the fluid and where vegetables take a bit to digest it will make it easier to avoid eating up the left overs .…

I did not think I would like them , surprise ! I really like the crunch they add to oatmeal or farina as well as the added fiber and vitamins. I now routinely make a high fiber oatmeal , oat bran , oats and chia topped with a tablespoon ground flax meal .

You can do this , so far I have lost 44 , knees , ankles and hips are so much better and gerd has stopped Blood pressure is down 20 points ! so glad I found this site . overall energy is so much better . My goal is also 150 . for now I am at the lowest weight I have been in around 15 years so I plan to stay on track

only if you also have to pay more for all risky behaviors . MVA head trauma from cars and motorcycles cause some of the highest long term medical costs in rehab facilities . , and then any thing that raises the risk of cancer because cancer treatments are very pricey and often do not have long term survival . at one time…

so obviously you are not eating enough to keep you full and satisfied. you can eat all your calories and still be hungry if you do not choose wisely . so I would go the volumetrics route and add more fiber, vegetables and complex carbs .( things like broth or vegetable based soups double portions of vegetables ) it is…

I could not do Keto, I love my veggies and need my fiber , I tried it once years ago and It made me irritable and did not provide enough fiber . I do high fiber low fat whole foods for the most part and try to stay between 1200 and 1500 cal if I exercise alot I may eat back part of those cal up to 1800 . eating a…

I am 58 and it is difficult you have to fill the house with healthy easy to fix things that are going to help you get to your goal . and avoid being around the hard to resist triggers for over eating

stay focused on you and the little ones . any man should want you to be your best . currently having trouble with my hub who sees my 43.5 lbs lost as a threat and is not supportive . but he is 71 and feeling very threatened. part of me gets that he feels like I am moving away from him but I was damn tired of low energy and…

I got cut off one too many time today , and Finally told Hubby I was going on line and find a guy that actually wants to talk to me . it was rude , but it did shut him up

I keep some treats around peanut and almond butter , yogurt , dark chocolate , so when I feel like I need a treat there is something that I love that will not throw me off track . It is not unusual to have days where you are tierd of staying on track

I have discovered pop corners , I do not have to make them, they taste great and they are a good sized handful for 110 calories !

Tea is good for you ( all sorts of things and 0 calories ( google it ! ) I drink mostly oolong and black tea because I prefer the flavor but I also drink green , none of them is a miracle way to loose weight . But it is water , with some caffeine and flavor and antioxidants that will keep your hands from reaching for some…

I get the OP , and I know it from both sides years ago I lost weight logging , then stopped slowly the weight crept back plus more . And for years I kept thinking I was eating Healthy , loads of vegetables and healthy grains, lean meats , but steadily gaining . blaming it on metabolism and my age . then I came here and got…

58

we ate less snacks , and fast food was not easy to get in most neighborhoods . we had to walk 3 miles to the cinema if we wanted to save the buss fair for a 26 cent Mc Donalds cheeseburger after the movie ! that would have been about 1971- 72 we walked to school and to the library , If we wanted to go any where further…

I am finding I also am having more trouble sleeping , one nutrient that helps sleep, magnesium , is hard enough to get as much as we should when we are not restricting calories . I have started taking a supplement and adding greens to my smoothies . This is helping a bit . I find I am sleepier when I have something in my…

at 58 my metabolism is slow to loose I need to not eat back my calories I tend to eat back less than 25% of my work out cal this has allowed me to loose an average of 1 lb a week ( 42 lbs lost in 276 days ) follow your bodies cues if you are loosing more than 1 lb a week add in healthy foods. this is about loosing weight…

You can do this , I am down 42 lbs after 7 months and I have not given up my chocolate ! I have scaled it back quite a bit ! !
