Glad I found this thread as I am in this age range (59) and can relate to the posts. It's very encouraging to hear how those of you have lost the weight and kept it off. Being consistent in my food choices and exercising is key. Thanks for the reminder!

Dancing with the Starts

I got my workout in today. I did Body Beast Legs Build video. I had a fractured left ankle in mid-May and it healed nicely. I've been going to physical therapy 1/week since the end of June for plantar fasciitis. It has really helped. I'm not in pain anymore. So glad for that. One day at at time is what I keep telling…

@23Bougie Thank you for commenting and all of the other comments too. I'm 59 and back at it again to lose 30 lbs. I need like minded people too on this journey. I've used MFP in the past but not the community. I don't use FB or other social media so this is a great communication tool for me. I can't keep using Covid and…

Hi Larcher91. Here are some of the exercises that I do. Youtube definitely has videos of these moves. Plank - either on elbow or straight arm; Side plank Side plank dips Stability Ball (SB) Plank SB Jackknife Ski abs (a move by Shaun T in Insanity) Mountain climbers Bicycles That should get you started. You can them for an…

So sorry to hear that your hubby is not supportive. I agree with others that it is some other under lying issue. You probably had eating bad food in common and now that is not something you both share. Insecurities manifest themselves in so many ways. You are changing now and he sees that. People don't like change and are…

Have a made up mind to change your lifestyle, not just go on a diet or lose weight. Decide to get healthy!!! Once that happens, you will seek out information to help you reach your goal. Definitely get an accountability partner who will really keep you on your toes. Not someone who just says all the time, "Oh, that's OK…

I have done TurboFire before and I love it. It is so much fun! I am thinking about starting Insanity or Insanity+P90X hybrid. Have fun and keep up the great work.

It's true we all fall of the horse sometimes, but you say "something happened." You should take a moment to figure out what happened. I'm not saying spend a whole lot of time on it, but def give it some thought. I have found that helpful cause then I can try to avoid that particular "something happened" next time. You…

:bigsmile: WOW!!! you can so see the difference. That is freakin' awesome lady!!!!

Welcome and congrats on 5lbs. lost already. Amazing what accountability and support will do for you.

You've come a long way!!! You look great and that smile says it all. Glad to see it!!!:flowerforyou:

Hi VBK!! Welcome to MFP. You've come to the right place. Sorry to hear you feel discouraged, but you have taken the right steps by coming here to get support, motivation, and encouragement for times like these. Everyone has set backs. Don't let it define you.

You've come a long way. Just awesome!

My go to is Shakeology (http://myshakeology.com/ttfit2). It is more than just a protein shake. It has protein, anti-oxidants, digestive enzymes, prebiotices, adaptogens and amino acids. It also has 5 servings of fruits and vegetables in it. It has helped my overall health and helped me lose 3.5 inches below the belly…

Welcome, stariera!!! You've come to the right place for encouragement and motivation. So glad to hear you are reclaiming your life back by starting to get healthy. A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. I'm here to help in anyway I can.

Today I had 3 slices of Dietz&Watson Smoked Turkey breast; 15 Nabisco Wheat Thins Fiber Select Garden Vegetable crackers, Cabot natural cheese (50% reduced fat), 15 grapes, 1/2 cup cucumbers and tomotoes with 1 tsp. EVOO+balsamic vinegar. Yummo. All of that was only 327 calories, but I felt like I was getting to eat a…

Welcome to MFP. This is a great site to get info, motivation and encouragement. You have to start somewhere and today you have done just that. Congratulations!!! We all are here to help.

Where is everyone? Hopefully still on track. Today I did Insanity's Max Interval Circuit workout. It is a tough workout, but I like it cause it pushes me. Today 2 people from the fitness center joined me in doing the workout. That was fun as well. Stay strong everyone!!!:bigsmile:

Good morning all. This is week 2 of the May challenge to stay focused. For everyone asking can you join in now of course you can. It's never too late to start. We are all here to support and encourage one another. I can't remember exactly who it was who did Turbo Fire, but I do that workout and you burn a ton of calories…

Hi talysshade and Mattshoe55 and bmontgomery87! I am here to help with your questions. Talysshade - Are you incorprating strength training into your workout schedule 3 times per week? Do you have a plan of action. More muscle helps you burn more fat. A proven fact. Mattshoe55 - not sure what you have been doing for a…

My day is rolling very well so far. This morning had my Chocolate Shakeology for breakfast; grilled chicken thigh+salad for lunch; greek yogurt+homemade granola for mid morning snack. My workout today for Insanity's Max Interval Circuit. Tonight I will have a pulled pork tenderloin sandwich+cucumbers+tomatoes with Mrs Dash…

Definitely needed this group this month as I was getting refocused this month. I am committing to my health and fitness these 31 days. Glad to have the support to go along with it. Last month was not good for me. This month is better already.

You should try taking in around 1400-1500 calories per day. What kind of workout are you doing? Are you eating 5-6 small meals per day? Let's say for example, your workout consists of walking on the treadmill at 4.0 mph. well, I'd say that you better only eat 1200 calories that day. You want to lose weight but also reshape…

Hi and welcome to MFP. There is so much support and motivation here. You've come to the right place. I remember what it was like having to lose that pregnancy weight. It can be so overwhelming sometimes especially with an infant. They definitely do not sit still for long. You blink and they are on to the next thing before…

Be sure to lose weight the healthy way. Your goal I'm sure is to keep the weight off for good and incorporte a lifestyle change, not just weight loss. The goal is be healthy. Don't spend your energy on losing 4-5lbs/week. Focus on fueling your body with the proper nutrients, exercise, enough sleep and plenty of water. I…

I had the same thing done as Ladybug1620. Everyone is right. It is more common than you realize.

Done with joy!:flowerforyou: :bigsmile:

I just sent you a message to get all the details. Thanks for putting this together. :happy:
