OMG!! THIS IS MY STORY!! EXACTLY!! Even the adhd!! I was just diagnosed as well. And that is a game changer being on meds for that! Your entire post could have been written by me. Oh, as women, we deserve to age with grace- like we don't need to suffer

Oh, and a note, FYI, bloodwork doesn't necessarily show perimenopause etc. Our hormones change daily, throughout the day etc. So getting blood tests only, is not the end all be all. There's a group on fb I joined, it's called, Hit Play Not Pause. Totally sent me in the direction I'm in right now. It's literally changed my…

Hi! I'm perimenopause! 49! 50 in a couple months. I went to a Nurse Practitioner that specializes in women's health!! Game changer. I'm on estrogen gel and progesterone pills, and omg!! I do thesexat night, this week was the 1st week I slept, actually slept 7 hours straight, everynight in YEARS!!! YEARS!! My muscle/joint…

Thank you!!! Ya, im 46 and my entire life I've had a very unhealthy relationship with food which led to lots of eating disorders etc. Healing that part of me is the most important thing for me.

Thank you!!! Slow and steady weightloss will help with saggy skin. But alot of that is genetics as well. I'm lifting so I max out between 8-10 reps. Cutting means after I've trained my body to work efficiently at 2000+ calories ( we'll be adding more calories in the next weeks) we will start to reduce calories a bit to see…

When I used body editing apps on .myself for my daughter's grad pics.

I did this for years. I gained not lost over the years especially after I hit my 40's. I'm now eating more (around 1655c, and exercising less, (less cardio) but more weight training. ) 5 weeks in, ive lost 0, but have gone down a full size. Wore a a shirt yesterday I couldn't fit into for the last year. You're setting your…

I'm getting smaller eating more and doing less. But I get flack for saying that.

Not a stupid question. I'm 5'0" tall. My maintenance is 1655, and it may increase depending on how my body evolves and responds. My trainer and his team specialize in reverse dieting and repairing the metabolism. This is my first phase. It involves setting my metabolism at higher calories, building muscle, setting a…

I started Aug. 31, 2020 - 150.3 lbs Before that- 1- 3 days of cardio 45-90 min OMAD, IF, KETOVORE/Carnivore for 2 years. I ate under 1200 calories/ day most days. Some days I'd do 36-48 hour fasts. For almost a year I did OMAD 80%. Meals would consist of a steak. I ate 0 vegetables or fruit most of the time. Sometimes I…

Thank you! I have to send my trainer pics end if every week, and I dread it every time. I hated the 40lbs I put on, and pucs are the ultimate reality check. I turn 46 this month and I knew I had to be serious about getting in shape because we lose so much muscle as we age. And it doesn't get easier! Thank you! Yes, just…

Okay! Thank you!!

I dont think I uploaded pictures properly, l. Having issues @ but thank you!

If eating less and moving more was that simple and worked, no one training for a marathon would be overweight, and ive seen plenty of overweight runners. I was one, living on calorie deficit, running, working out, doing ultrathons. Its not sustainable. You'll lose weight in the beginning, but you'll gain it back unless you…

Thank you! I have alot of healing to do metabolically! I have 30-35 lbs to lose, which isn't a huge amount. But its more than just the wright, its energy levels, nutrition etc. That's what I want to change the most for the better!

21 years and counting for us. MFP 8 years.

nasty over processed food by big food corporations that play on people's "emotions about meat" Waste and bad for the environment. Eat local whole foods.

You are amazing! And you absolutely glow!! An inspiration to everyone!

We do!!!

You got this!

Sugar and sweets, wheat products. Wine will be difficult, try to keep it to a couple glasses every 2 weeks

I'd prefer if my hubby worked out. And i don't mean body building and competition etc. But we're in our mid 40's- 45. Being physically fit will only help with the aging process. I love my husband he's my best friend, last year we became empty nesters, and now its our time. I'd like to be healthy, strong, fit going into the…

My goal is 200km walk/run for September. Around 6-8 km/ day

In the same boat, looking to lose 30-35 lbs, for the 4th time now. I'm 45 and the 40's have kicked my *kitten*. when I restarted my account, been here since 2012!!!

No, i hired a PT and he has me on a reverse diet because I've been living on the "1200 calories standard lose weight " diet for years. Ive had to add almost 500 calories to my diet daily, and I IF! But his results speak for themselves. I never realized how difficult eating more was going to be, especially in such small…
