Hi. Unfortunately, weight loss does seem to go slower after menopause. Use MyFitnessPal to track calories, try to increase protein, and be consistent in your calorie deficit. Consistency is more important that cutting your calories to a number that isn't sustainable. That's a good place to start. And find a way to get some…

Apple Pie Cheesecake Bowl. 1 cup 4% cottage cheese. 1 rockit mini apple 1 tablespoon Truvia sweet complete. 1/2 scoop Body Fortress Vanilla Protein Powder. Dash of cinnamon. Decadent and filling!

I hope we can all figure it out and figure out ways to help each other, even if it’s just from this group. @Tessysworld I have been doing exercises from SeniorShape Fitness. She has different exercises routines for just about anything you feel like taking on.

Sharon, I tried accept your friend request and couldn't for some reason. I think this site is difficult to navigate personally, but I am trying. If I don't answer sometimes it's not because I'm ignoring people, I'm still learning.

Yes, you have to log your your ingredients individually and and store your own meals. :)

I hope so! I found this sight on YouTube called SeniorShape Fitness. I have been doing her workouts. I just love her. I have a lot of joint issues and I can always modify these workouts so I can do them. I also am trying to make sure I get more protein. I know there are scientific reasons that we need more as we age, I am…

That works! Welcome,

Hello. I wasn’t getting any responses to my posts, so I got discouraged and stopped posting. There is a group on Facebook called Women over 50 Trying to Lose Weight Safely that I am part of, and it has grown exponentially. You may want to Join that. I have also discovered Paula B., a weight loss coach for women our age.…

Back in the saddle again! Thanks to everyone who commented on this post! I am weighing and measuring everything again and the pounds are coming off. Riding season is back and it is so good for my mind body and soul! Find something you love to qdo and do it! Goal is to be healthy and fit enough for the 5 1/2 hour trek to…

Sugar free jello is my best friend. Also, deep breathing and remembering I am hungry not starving. ;)

I agree. I am taking a real hard look at what I have been doing. I am weighing, measuring and reducing. I am going to bed hungry. The number is going down again. Damn. This is hard. :/

Oh, and I want to lose at least 50 more pounds.

What the heck is a BBC Code? I have lost 43 pounds then got COVID and stopped losing. I log on MFP and exercise. You are all probably right. I just need to weigh my food more and measure more instead of guessing. This is my second plateau though and I am super aggravated. Thanks for listening.

Thank you all for responding. I just spent 30 minutes replying and apparently did it wrong and lost everything. I am new to posting in this forum. I will try again in a bit. #frustrated

<3 Hi Lisa! I will add you as soon as I figure out how! Best of luck on your journey!

Welcome all! I too have been trying to move more! I have always loved yoga, and for the first time in my life, I am going to a yoga class! I have also found some very warm and fuzzy yoga videos on youtube. One thing I am trying to do differently is to be kind to myself. Stop beating myself up. Stop feeling guilty for…
