Just found this thread. 56 yrs old here. The issues are just different when you are past menopause as you all have noted. Over the summer I upped my exercise a lot and hiked 18-24 miles per week. I felt and looked more toned but did not lose a pound! This really speaks to the need to do portion and caloric control in order…

Fantastic! Congratulations! You look fabulous!

Look at YOU!!! Wow! fantastic. I am so happy for you.

Thanks for the weight lifting advice. I have heard it before and I thought that if I increased my aerobic exercise a lot that would do it, but I have done that and the scale has not budged. I will take your advice to work on strength training now.

Congratulations. There is a lot less of you under the pink jacket. Great job!

First of all, losing weight after rocketing up and down in weight after having multiple pregnancies and then trying to balance taking care of children and keeping your husband happy and your marriage intact is a tough thing to do. I have been married 23 years and had three kids so I know something. I have gone through some…

I am not lifting but I really increased my exercise a lot in the last month and I have not seen anything happening on the scales either although some people have commented that they see a difference so there must be some changes. I am seriously frustrated too. I don't know how the scale can be holding out when I have…

Hi, Thanks for posting. Congratulations on your success. It CAN be done!

So much depends on the variables. How much do you have to lose? How old are you? What gender are you? Are you disabled at all?

It happens all the time and is pretty traditional actually. My grandfather was 44 and my grandmother was 22 when they married. The real question is for gentleman...would YOU date, marry and have children with a woman 10-15 years older? Doesn't happen often.

Looking great!!! Congratulations on getting so far along to your goal.

You look great. Congratulations. An inspiration!

Hi, I understand the issues of trying to lose weight when you are crippled by physical pain. I have had arthritis in my knees for a long time and as I have aged it has crept into other areas of my body. Some days I feel pretty good and some days I wake up and am very stiff and lots of joints are painful. Many days I ask…

You look great now. Thanks for the motivation with pictures. I need to see that it can be done. Best of luck to you. You look young and beautiful and ready to tackle the world. Congratulations.

I have had a really tough time losing any weight after the initial start but I am still coming back to log in and read what people are saying. I think the post before mine was good. It sounds counter intuitive to eat back your calories but I think it is true. I also had to bump up my calories to be able to lose. I…

Standing ovation!!!!

Hi, I am a teacher, over 50. My goals are to log full days, every day and stay within my calorie goal. I am going to start small and have a goal of losing another 10 pounds and keeping it off. I need to lose a lot more but right now, just getting the ball rolling would be a good start. Another goal is to get my blood…

My sister brought some over once and found them kind of tasty.

Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree with Anyone Else but Me. (running through my head) crazy thing to have in my head but I think it's because I am tying strips of mylar to the apple tree in our garden to keep the birds away.

I think this is very disturbing but extremely helpful. Thanks for the post.
