Hi Good Morning, I'm 5'2" and 46 years old. I lost 18 lbs on here. Still working on leaning out the body fat.

Red-headed

I was also taught to clean my plate and later I realized my parents kind of hoarded a lot of things and in addition realized that their parents (my grandparents) lived in The Great Depression - that spawns all sorts of reasons right there. Cleaning plate in modern world today is just plain stupid, it teaches you to ignore…

Clean and Sober between 1997 and now, minus one little relapse, a trip to Las Vegas 13 years ago. Yeah Baby. Only way to live. Sobriety is an adventurous high all it's own.

Hi, I'm very active on here and looking for others to engage with on a regular basis! Feel free to add!

No secrets here...I always have an open food diary. I'm looking for friends that will participate and engage. Feel free to add me. I'm always working on the last 5 lbs.

Thanks everyone...looks like I have a few new friends now. I look forward to following you on this journey!

:p :D :# o:)

Me too, I'm 5'2" and if I have any more calories than around 1200 I get chubs, plus I'm 46. I strained my back and sprained my ankle, so just get to focus on healing and nutrition. My current calorie goal is 1081 with 40% protein.

Wow you guys are mixed bag of responses. I mistook someone's intentions from another social site not MFP and was shocked when I opened my phone - this was a first for me. They lady who says she's a grown woman - very cute...and immature. Anyone who wants to take the warning from me - take it. If you don't need or want my…

Eating it sets in motion new cravings so you have to stop eating it. Once you stop, then when you get the craving and hunger feeling, you just ignore it, distract yourself and it will go away, keep doing that then it will become a lot easier and then healthy foods will begin to taste wayyyyyy better and you'll crave the…

Whey protein shakes, meats, vegetables, eggs, fish, cottage cheese, milk, greek yogurt.

I'm 46 so I have to put that into the equation. I wish my calves were a bit bigger, but honestly I have a really good body to work with once the fat begins to drain away. Even though I have all this tendinitis, I still like my petite frame. I don't need big muscles to look good - I just need to be toned and tight and I'm…

That hunger feeling is just a hormone. You can just ignore it, distract yourself, and it WILL go away.

I read an article recently regarding post workout / recovery meal. It said to aim for 20-25 grams of protein AND 50 to 100 grams of carbs immediately following your workout. Two great options are 8 oz of low fat chocolate milk and a serving of Greek yogurt with strawberries and oatmeal.

Dang @HoneyBadger155 , you have a lot of stuff going on. My ankles both do not flex far enough and I work on it every day and that makes me have other problems. Anyway, I am constantly trying to keep the little balancing muscles strong for the knees, the ankle sprain has set me back on a lot of that, I also have TFL…

@shaumom thank you, that is very interesting. Hmmm. Is there a simple test at the doc for that. That really is worth exploring.

@sdaphnie thanks for the support

@ekim2016 geez laweez.

@GiddyupTim you crack me up... good grief, getting old ain't for sissies is it?

@girlswithcurls2 I tried swimming and love it, but it flared up my bicep tendonitis. Thank you for your support!

@mom23mangos sorry to hear about your issues. Talking about everything not working together, I get that - I see now how important muscle symmetry is. Is there one exercise that works the leg muscles equally lol?

@Evamutt that really has to suck with the wrists, but we survive don't we. I've never heard of fitness blender until now. Looks like you love dogs...me too.

@flyonthewall sorry to hear about your back! Sounds so frustrating! Sucks when you think you're doing positive only to find out it makes things worse and not better. I soooo feeel your pain.

@canadianlbs I know what you mean by the primary muscles not firing anymore, having to train them to do this. Too much sitting at a desk all day and then coming home exhausted and sitting - doing this for twenty years, doesn't make it easy to move forward. I no loner sit at a desk, but it sure would be nice to not have…

correction - positive momentum (not moment) and more stuff (not kitten) lol

Thanks everyone, @canadianlbs , @Evamutt , @TheFlyOnTheWall ... interesting to hear your experiences. I have pes anserine bursitis of the left knee, bicep tendinitis of the right shoulder, TFL tensor facia latte tendonitis on the right side. I recently got over having gluteal tendonitis on both sides and plantar faciitis…

Hey Ladies, I'm 46, just on my last 10 lbs as well. Love to have more friends to support each other!
