OP, one thing is for certain. People marry for many different reasons. Some marry because they are tired of being alone. Some married because they are afraid to be alone. Some marry for money. Some marry to escape their home situation. Some marry as a business transaction. Some marry because of social pressures. Some marry…

Do you do any strength training? My sagging tummy is becoming less and less with strength training. My trainer upped my abdominal work about four weeks ago and it is helping.

I'll be 58 in August. I lost 100 pounds when I turned 50. Gained 50 of it back after a very stressful couple of years and have lost that 50 again since joining MFP. The key for me is logging my food and exercise. The most amazing thing for me was adding strength training into my weekly exercise which I started about a year…

Agree with this 100% People need to stop blaming everyone and everything for such things. I was fat. I did that to myself, no one else contributed to it. I did not have a disease. I had a failure to monitor my intake and move my body. It was me and me alone. So did I think because of my failures the government or private…

I agree with this poster. I've been using a personal trainer for almost a year, twice a week. Could I work out by myself at this point? Yes, I probably could. However, knowing I have an appointment scheduled that I've paid good hard earned money for makes me much less likely to make excuses. And frankly, my trainer is…

First off, let me say I'm 57 and would love to have your LBM and BF%. I'm 5'8", weigh 155. My LBM is 109.2 and BF% is too high at 30.2%. I only tell you that to say I would highly recommend you meet with a dietician that specializes in sports nutrition. I first met with mine in December and I told her my goal was to get…

Amazing, bump

I don't think it sounds anything like an eating disorder. Sounds to me like you are very organized which is a good thing.

BUMP, great stuff!

Congrats, quite an accomplishment. I did not know you could do the Flying Pig in relay format. Pretty cool.

Dude, no just no! Start bulking at 6'5" you do not need to lose any weight at 165. I have a son that is 6'3" and weighs about 150 and like you, he has tiny wrists. He is way to skinny! So I understand the natural build thing but start a strength program and focus on muscle gain instead of weight loss. You will be amazed at…

That's the bulk I'm looking for! Well done!

False TNP would rather lift weights than do cardio

OMG, you are evil LMAO

LOL my young sons (22 and 23) complain about this all the time as well. And they say it's the old dudes LMAO!

1955, the year Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat

Law Abiding Citizen. Took revenge to a whole new level.

BUMP

Agree with this 100% Love my current trainer. I cannot put a price on how much he has helped me. No nonsense with him, all we work on is lifting. And he corrects my form if it is not correct. I had a female several years ago at a different gym. Because I was an older woman, all she wanted to do was balance stuff, yoga, and…

BUMP LOVE PUMPKIN

You are quite welcome. If your mom is on MFP and needs some older motivating friends, I'd be happy to friend her. I myself go to the gym at least three times a week, lift weights, work with a trainer, and do cardio. I've never felt better or more energized. Use to weight 255 lbs and am down to 155. If I can do it, anyone…

As an older woman myself, with children about your age, I concur with those that say unless she is ready you won't be able to make her do anything. That being said, there are many things you can do to encourage her if she is ready. As an older woman, she will be self conscious about going the first time. She will think…

Bump, I just saw this too. I am so going to do this starting tonight!

Most definitely this!

This :drinker:

I did a medically supervised weight loss like you are speaking of 7 years ago. It was 800 calories a day and consisted of six shakes a day. It was a great way to take off the weight, I dropped from 255 down to 165. I kept the majority of that weight off for about 3 years until I hit a very stressful period late 2009 -…

Started shooting about six weeks ago. Love it! My husband bought a Ruger SR 22 to get used to shooting. And I've graduated to a Ruger 380 :happy:

Could not possibly pick just one. Love all dogs really. For those dog lovers out there, my brother in Chicago is a talented photographer that LOVES photographing the dogs at the dog beach. If anyone cares to take a look, your favorite breed might be in the mix! http://www.flickr.com/photos/hbchicago/sets/72157632407968044/

15 min warm up. Mondays is basically upper body and Wednesdays basically lower body for an hour with a trainer. Friday is full body designed by my trainer. Mondays and Wednesdays after lifting I do 30 minutes intense cardio, 10 minutes mid intensity and 5 cooldown. Fridays I either do the cardio again or if I'm feeling…
