Hello! +50 here and trying to accomplish the same thing you are. I am 5 lbs from my goal, but I have been stuck for the last couple of months. I am not going to give up strength training to get there, but I plan to add more cardio each week.

OP, I came here looking for an answer to the same question you have. I appreciate all of the comments you've received. It's confusing when you are trying to switch from something you've always done. Cardio has always worked for me in the past, but I want to be strong, not skinny fat. That's what I was before I gained this…

Please count me in! The other challenge I'm in at work ends June 15th. Last night I was trying to find new challenges on here. I realized that the challenges really push me.

Hello Cara! My name is Lori and I'm 47. I don't ride horses, but I love to walk. I'm addicted to my Fitbit. I was also having trouble with my joints. My knees were constantly giving out on me. At the beginning of this year, I decided I had to make some changes. I worry more about my health than I ever have. I started…

You look amazing! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for sharing. You are truly an inspiration!

Anyone can feel free to add me. I'm on here every day. I like to motivate others and I can always use some extra motivation.

Hi Angela! We're all here for the same thing. You don't have to be afraid to reach out to others. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

I eat salad every day for lunch too! I bring enough to work to last me all week. I make it up daily. I keep a variety of things on hand so that I can mix it up and I don't get tired of it. It's so much easier than remembering to make it up the night before or rushing in the morning to get it made.

Congratulations...You look amazing! Thanks for sharing your inspiring pictures!

You look fantastic! Thanks for sharing your inspiring post!

Bump for later. There is a lot of great advice posted in this thread! I need more time to look over my calculations and compare them with what I'm reading.

Thank you for posting this subject! I happen to have an appointment with my gyno in another hour to discuss some of the very issues I'm reading here. I am 46 and I have to say the frustration with weight gain has been overwhelming. Ten years ago I would've lost weight eating the calories I eat now without even exercising.…

Thanks for starting a great topic! I'm on the 1200 calorie track and I'm not losing anything. I'm going to have to take some time to read through all of these replies and see if I can come up with a better number. I think I just get so confused and frustrated that I go back to the 1200 routine. It isn't working anymore and…

Happy Friday! Starting weight: 161.6 Current weight: 155 Goal weight: 125 I'm leaving for a conference this weekend and will be gone for a week. I'm really going to try hard not to gain while eating out every day! Have a great weekend everyone!

I am so proud of you!! It's always so inspiring to hear about all of your accomplishments, big or small. You've earned that pain!

Good morning! I'm still trying to lose the weight I gained over the holidays (5 lbs). 2 more to go. I'm a little nervous about next week. I'm headed to a conference for 6 days. Luckily, I will get a lot of walking in. Have a great weekend everyone!

So many great ideas! I can't wait until I have some time to go through all of them. Unfortunately, I'm too busy at my desk right now.
