I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. Although I am excited about 2021

I am 55 and have 30lbs to lose. I also would like to meet women around my age who are like minded and want to motivate each other.

I am making a decision to get serious about my diet and exercise today. I am going to do this!

January 2021 starting weight 1/1 - 179.2 1/15-179.4 1/21- 179.4 making a decision to log calories everyday. :)

My goals for August are: 1. To log my food 2. Exercise 3 times a week 3. Meditate everyday for 10 minutes So glad to find this group. I am 54 years old. Talking Bio-identical hormones. Very hard to lose weight. My fiance is very supportive, and I am very grateful for him. Changing my thoughts to positive has helped me very…

I'm 54 years old and am the heaviest I've ever been. I am eating 1300 calories a day and have not seen anything come off in a week. I admit, I have not been exercising. I've been logging my food and eating healthier, so that is the positive side of it. I'm in!!!!

I'm going to be 54 in February. Let's do this!!

I'm in. 2019 here we come!!

I'm a lot older than you guys. I am 53 with 30lbs to lose. It is soooo difficut at this age. WE CAN DO THIS1!!!

I need coffee.

I would love new friends and motivation.

Hi There. My name is Tracy. I am going to try to add you as my buddy. I have never been very athletic. Menopause hit me like a truck. I was losing hope for a while, but things are changing because I am trying harder, moving more. I live in Southern California and there are Mexican food places on every corner. My boyfriend…

Thanks for all of your support.

Good morning. Cut out most carbs, and eat mostly veggies, fruit and beans. I guess I was in a little denial on how much fat and crap I was eating. I've been adding in a little exercise here and there. I lost 4 pounds in a week just by using fitness pal and being aware of what I'm eat.Oh, and I cut out most cheese, once in…

I'm in. I need motivation. I'm 165lbs, 5'4".

I am glad you shared about this or I would not have known about the video. Everyone only has good things to say about it.

Yes, I will join with you. My name is Tracy. My husband is going to by the DVD at Target today. It's $10.00. What do I have to lose but pounds, lol! I will keep in touch.

I wish my doctor would have told me to slow down on my weight when I was pregnant. Awareness is the key. If you eat whatever you want when you are pregnant, you could become diabetic. Also, watch your sodium. High blood pressure is common when you get pregnant, and very dangerous. Walking is great exercise. I would love to…

I have recently not been able to take off weight. I am fed up, but not giving up!! So this week I cut down on carbs, no carbs for dinner. I bought a nutribullet. I am measuring everything and going to buy a food scale because it is hard to measure meat, etc. I am increasing my exercise, and need to sweat when I exercise. I…

I freeze them too. Peel them and I cut them in half and put them in sandwich bags. I use them in my Nutriblast smoothies and it make them taste better.

What is today's mini challenge?

I'm in, and I'm done. That burned

I cannot have the unhealthy snacks in the house. I am going to stock up on healthy snacks like nuts, low fat cheese. Anything with protein will fill you up for a while.

I am starting again. Not as a resolution, but just to stop the insanity. My muffin top is back. Anybody want to be my buddy?

THANKS CHELLE, I STARTED RESEARCHING THEM AND FOUND THIS YUMMY LOOKING RECIPE ON TRADER JOE'S WEBSITE. I WILL LET YOU GUYS KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT. Shrimp and Broccoli Slaw Guilt-Free Creamy Noodles A very tasty dish that has less than half the calories of a full fat version. Ingredients: 2 Servings 1 Tbsp Olive Oil 1/2…

I have recently had the experience of trying to cut out too many carbs. I had no energy by the time I had to work out. I was having a salad for lunch (about 300 calories with the dressing) with no carbs. By the time I was ready to work out after work, I had no energy. So I changed it up and started having maybe some whole…

YOU INSPIRE ME DEIDRE. IT JUST TAKES WORK. I AM 47 YEARS OLD AND KEEP MAKING EXCUSES. I JOINED A GYM AND GOING TO WORK OUT 4 TIMES A WEEK. EVERY TIME I GO I AM GOING TO DO CARDIO AT LEAST 30 MINUTES AND WEIGHTS EVERY OTHER DAY. I AM GONNA THROW A YOGA AND ZUMBA CLASS IN THERE SOMEHOW. I JOINED A WOMANS GYM AND I LOVE IT. I…

I'M 5'3" TOO. 47 YEARS OLD AND 155LBS. A LOT OF THAT IS FAT. GOT MY FAT MEASURED AT THE GYM THE OTHER DAY. ABOUT 40%. COULD THAT BE TRUE?? SHE SAID IT MEASURES MOSTLY MY UPPER BODY. I NEED TO WORK ON MY MUSLE MASS.

I am having a hard time too. I am 47. I know it is hard work and working out more. Deirdre you are right. I need to stop making excuses for my age and just start doing it. I started today with a 3.5 mile walk and some sit ups and leg lifts today. I know will get instant results and feel better tomorrow.

YES, I HAD THE TALK LAST WEEK. WAS NOT PLEASANT. I TOOK IT ALL THE WRONG WAY. AFTER THINKING ABOUT IT, I DO NOT HAVE AS MUCH ENERGY WHEN I DO NOT WORK OUT AND EAT RIGHT. THE TIME IS GOING TO CHANGE HERE IN CALIFORNIA THIS WEEKEND, AND THAT MOTIVATES ME TO GET OUTSIDE AND EXERCISE.
