I would like to be on this team again, please :)

Unfortunately, this hasn't been my experience. I have lost 22 lbs and only about 1 inch off my waist. I tend to store most of my fat there post-menopause. I have yet to go down a clothing size, but that is probably due to the fact that I just stuffed myself into clothing with elastic waists and that were cut to be baggier.…

@Lessennan The shawl is beautiful. I can knit basic things, but I don't have the patience to do lace work. When I knit my sweater, it took twice as long as it should have because I'd get off the pattern and end up frogging my work. And it wasn't a particularly difficult pattern. I just get distracted easily and lose my…

I just want to say you moms are all fabulous and good for you for working hard to get rid of the baby weight. I'm nearly 18 years postpartum, lol, and still haven't lost all the baby weight (close, but then I have a ton of weight that still needs to go because I was overweight to begin with) because I made every excuse…

100 pounds is an amazing accomplishment! Great job!

How many 5% Challenges have you done? This is my first one What do you like to do for fun? I enjoy all types of crafts: knitting, crocheting, painting, quilting. I'm not particularly good at any of those, but I have a lot of fun creating things. What major city do you live in or near? State? I live in Virginia. The closest…

I'm new to 5% challenges, so any team is fine with me.

exermom -- I suspect that might be what is going on although his last x-rays didn't show any significant deterioration. I just hate to see him so miserable. The vet gave us a few pain pills last visit, so we might just need to get more (or different meds) for him. He's the happy-go-lucky dog (out of our 3), so I'm used to…

Karen in VA, we must be in the same area because I've been to Diversity Thrift numerous times. Never heard of Thrifty Quaker, though, so I'll have to check that out. I'm a sucker for thrift stores. Yesterday was a very challenging day. My oldest dog Beau is having some issues, I think, with hip pain. We've had him checked…

Heather - Congrats on the book! My childhood dream was to become a writer someday. I've attempted a few times to start something, but I get too frustrated and end up quitting. Maybe one day. I don't even really care if publish it. I'd honestly just like to be able to say that I wrote a book :smile: So I am in awe that you…

Hi, everyone. I'm not new to MFP, but I am back again trying to lose weight. I'm 52 and a stay-at-home mom. One kid is in college, the other is a senior this year. I need to lose about 50 lbs (60 is my dream goal, but I'm trying to be realistic -- and honestly, any weight that puts me into a healthy weight category is…

Just starting out (again) and the same age and height as you. Same bad eating habits (with a good metabolism that let me get away with it) when I was younger. I've tried so many diets but long term have always gained it back. I guess my problem is that I have always seen it as a diet versus a lifestyle change. I've looked…
