I am 5'9" ( use to be 5'9.75" age skrinkage!), my goal is 170. I am large frame, large feet and hands, and right now I am 191.5 in a size 14 and I look pretty good, weight lifting has changed my body quite a bit. I am not that worried about the goal weight, but working towards body fat reduction to 24%, I am around 34% now…

Agree with the majority never wear it. In fact don't wear it to the gym either, or airplanes!! It's the worst when yo have someone get next to you at the gym who has such strong sents on!! not to mention sitting next to them on the airplane for 15 hrs!!

I am going to a party tonight, the 1st time in ages, and I did buy a costume for $50, and it's not too bad. It's called mother earth, and its a dress made to look like it has a bustier laced up under the bustline, and it's a bit off the shoulder. Plus a Blonde Wig!! LOL The down side it's turned cold here in Texas and I…

Yes it get's easier, howeve I am more a moring person anyway, so it was never too difficult for me. But on Tues/Thurs I meet my PT at 5AM when the gym opens, but I have to be up by 3:45 ish to dresss, use the bathroom, and then warmup for 30 mins on the treadmill so that I am not 'cold' when I get there. Since this is…

I have seen this thread before, and did attempt to eat prior to my strenght training sessions, BUT since I meet my PT at 5am, eating at 4:30am ish is just tooooo early and it sort of makes me feel sick. So I stopped that, and eat once I return home, which is ususally around 7am, as I strenght train for 1hr, cardio for 30…

Hi ladies I have been on a fitness journey now for about 12 months, working out six days a week cardio, and three days strength training, and this has not helped my hot flashes at all. My. Diet had improved tremendously and I am off processed sugars too. I have soy several times a day usually but at least once per day, and…

I am having the same problems, and in the last 10 days have managed to reduce from 2500mg to 1500mg or under. But it's been difficult, and I am gradually weeding out all of the items that are high in sodium. I have purchased low sodium products as much as possible, and I am now buying as much fresh as possible. But I still…

I also love Hummus and in fact most middle eastern foods. I can purchase it locally quite easy but as I am trying to reduce my sodium levels, once I finish off the recent tub of it I purchased, I am going to try to make it myself, with less salt naturally. Thanks for posting a receipie I will plan to try it out soon.

I have had mine since Feb. I love it and it keeps you on track to get those 10k steps in daily. The calories likely are not 100% accurate but in the beginning it seems fine. I purchased a Polar hear rate monitor iJuly and use it now for more accurate calories burned as FitBit was over estimating for me quite a bit. I think…

I have had mine since Feb and have loved it and still wear it daily to take my steps. However now that I am fitter, or maybe always (not sure) I have an Polar HRM and that shows me that my cals were over estimated by the FitBit. So I no longer sync it with MFP, but use the HRM to record my cals burned as I believe that is…

I have at least 100 g per day and often quite a lot more, and other than the fact that I am never hungrey, it seems to be fine for me. I exercise 6 days a week, and 3 times a week I do strenght training on top of cardio, so usually around 120 mins on those days, so I need the extra.

Hi All I am 54 and I have been on a journey now for 51 wks, down 73 lbs. I recently began working with a personal trainer, who is just the greatest young man! Take's such an interest in me and my limitations due to OA, and I have seem great improvements since we began on 2nd July. I lost 150 lbs via gastric bypass back in…

Hi Max Just wanted to say that I travel a lot and have had no issue finding most foods in the database, and I recently returned from Thailand, which I found a bit hard to find in the database, but in Europe usually not as much trouble. I am sure you will do splendid. Most foods will be in the metric system of measurements,…

Hello fellow Houstonians.. I have been on MFP now for 11 myths and down 68lbs. The last 13 years I have been on the road about 70 percent of the time and now find myself lacking in activities outside of work. I hope to reach my 1st goal weight by jan or feb of next year which is 25 more lbs, and once there will then…

Sure if I am free, I'd be up for it.

I just startes drinking soy milk, I did try the I-Cool pills but saw nothing, but maybe as noted here it takes at least a month. Can anyone say how much you drink? 6 or 8 ounces? My hot flashes are worse than ever lately and I have bee in peri menopause for 9 yrs now. My last menses was in Feb so I am on the count done…

Very funny Dude! Needed a laugh today!

I have lost around 170 lbs and still shooting for another 25 or 35 approx. now that said I have loose skin, I was obese for years and skin does not go back that easy in most cases and especially the longer you are overweight. Age is a factor as well and likely had I been able to work with a trainer whilst losing the weight…

I totally agree with the poster above hastinbe. This never goes away, and as someone who loves to eat, and use it as a past time.... it's been difficult at times. But I am motivated to get all of my weight off once and for good and not have to always be thinking about needing to loose, but just maintain. I have 38 lbs to…

I eat Kashi Go Lean with soy milk, as it has 13g of protein, with 15 blueberries, Or I have 4-5 oz of Fage plain greek yorgut, 30 blueberries, and truveia for sweetner, or I have a protein shake. I try to get a good portion of protein in 1st thing.

Hi, I recently started with a PT at my local gym. I am a 54 yr old female and riddled with OA. For me it was important to pair me with someone who would be willing to take the time to understand limitations with my 'bones' and find alternative ways to do certain strength exercises, all while the long term goal is to…

I am not too sure that it actually changes the lenght of your feet... but your feet do have fat on them, and when heavier they are wider, etc.. So losing does usually mean you will go down a size and width. At my heaviest I wore a US 12 Wide, I can now get into US 11M, but my foot is still 11.5 inches long and always was.…

5'9" these days.... Never fear folks, you start to shrink after 50 ish!! I still mourn the loss of my 3/4". Pro: Can hold my weight well Con: None for me.

WONDERFUL!!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU! THE DAY I AM 199 I AM GOING TO DO A HAPPY DANCE TOO!!!!! 21 LBS TO GO. It's been 10 mths and 60lbs. Slow and steady and you will make it in no time!!!

Kashi Go Lean, 13 g Protein.

Hi Sabrina I am 54 also a WLS paitent, and was maintaining my 150lbs lost up until last year and then 40 lbs!! I cannot just blame perimenopause, but it was a factor. I have now lost the 40 plus 10 more, and trying to get down to my ultimate goal weight another 40 lbs. I never sleep anymore for many reasons, hot and cold…

This has happened to me over the last several years. 8 mths one year, then started up again, 7 mths the next year, 8 mths, and now I am on the countdown again at 6 mths hoping for the full 12.... time will tell. Royal pain in the *kitten*. I am 54 and haven been in peri-menopause now since 2003 when the night sweats…

YES! Got it in Feb 2012 and live it. Whilst it likely is not the most accurate etc... but for the price it does exactly what I need. I motiviates me to get 10K steps in every day which when you have a desk job.....is a JOB unto iself. I like that it is a bit more accurate on what I am burning, as all of the exercise…
