I eat when I'm hungry - whatever time that may be :)

I'm 51 as well. Your story is inspirational!!! I hope to look as amazing as you some day!

I'm hot! Oh, wait..... nevermind - that was a hot flash :grumble:

I am getting married on October 27. I My second fitting is on September 12. Hoping to lose a few more pounds before then. :smile:

There is nothing that I won't ever have again. I eat not so good things occassionally. And that's the ticket. It should be an occassional thing, not an at every meal thing. The days I do have a treat - I tend to work out extra hard. It's extra motivation for me.

Thank you, sweetie!

Awesome curly hair!!

This has to be one of the most stupid diets I have ever seen. No, you should not try it.

Short term - my wedding in October. I want to look good in my dress. Long term - I want to look good, period. :happy:

I had some yesterday at a 50th wedding anniversary party. Otherwise, I don't eat it. I just save for special occassions.

Double yum!

OMG! I am going to try every one - all of your suggestions sound awesome!

Oh yeah, turkey bacon would work really well - need to go out and get some!

I use to get Debra Winger a lot when I was younger - now I get it occasionally.

I usually eat peanut butter as a snack. One tablespoon at a time - straight up.

I'm getting married on October 27 as well. I have about 12 pounds to lose. I have been busting my butt on exercise and watching what I eat. I feel like I' ve got my years against me. I am 51 and it's just not coming off like it use to - I feel like I have to work twice as hard to see a little improvement.

51 and my hormones are working against me. I do low carb because it keeps me in check and helps me with my cravings. I can eat a lot of protein no problem (I keep those lean too). The more carbs I eat, the more I want. If I stick to fruits and vegetables for my carbs I just don't get the same cravings. I have lost 11…

My go to's are apples, bananas and peanut butter straight out of the jar.

Just remind yourself that the food will only be a temporary fix - you will only feel good while you are eating it. After that you will feel even more horrible than before. Don't let this sabotage your efforts. You need to be kind to yourself right now. The last time I went through a breakup - I did miles and miles of…

Definitely. I use to be a big emotional eater. Now, when something upsets me I do one of two things. I go work out or I go take a nice long bath or shower. Both of these things keep me from eating when I'm not hungry.

I am 51. Feel free to add me :)

Every four months or more - which for me isn't nearly enough but I'm lazy when it comes to that.

Hair, boobs, butt, cheekbones - in that order.

I was surprised to find that foods I thought were healthy are pretty high in sodium. Low fat cottage cheese for example - 459 for a 1/2 cup serving.

Wow....

I'm on my way to 52 - feel free to add me :)

IMHO - The best time to weigh yourself is first thing in the morning before you eat anything. If you weigh yourself at other times you may be weighing the food you just ate and have not yet digested. Some foods are high in sodium and can cause weight fluctuations. If you strength train, you may see some weight gain because…

Yes! Thanks so much, Ladies!

I hear ya!
