I am new to the group. My husband and I started following a low carb lifestyle. He is severely diabetic (II) and we both have some weight to lose. We have been on for about 2 months. He was on shots and now his sugar levels are perfect w/o shots. He has lost about 18lb I have lost about 10lb. I have really followed the…

You are truly inspiration. For all the women who say they are going through menopause or have a million other excuses, you just proved them wrong. Congrats.

Unbelievable. You are truly an inspiration!

Well I was simular to you. I would get to about 10 lbs and it would be so difficult to lose weight. II am 46. I have lost almost 20 Lb. Many people told me I was fine at the weight I was and I should not expect to look like I did when I was in my 20's. As of today, I am weighing what I weighed in my 20's 126. A couple…

Eat protein and smaller more frequent meals. The uping calories never has worked for me. By eating smaller portions more frequently, it keeps your blood sugar level and you don't crash which causes hunger. This happens to people who are truely hypoglycemic (my 16 year old is). Plus if you eat more frequent (three smaller…

Well I have used the Billy Blanks Tae bo off and on for years. I over the last ten years put on a good 15 to 20 lbs. So when I started using mfp I pulled out my old DVD's. I have the one with the 3 lb bar. (I even have older ones on tapes). It was so hard since I was so out of shape but I stuck with it. I bought the PT…

Ok, most people would consider me thin most my life. I did put on 20 the last 10 years and probably due to my vanity I have taken 18 lb off but at 46 I was also looking at health reasons. So I will grant the article the vanity concept. Mean? Well my friends say I'm too nice and only when provoked can I be mean. I have…

Well I sometimes have this problem. Don't know about fasting. I am not a fan because I think it messes with motabolism. As for breakfast it's all about blood sugar and crashing that makes you starving. My younger daughter is hypogylcemic- low blood sugar and this happens to her. Doctor says giving her more sugar is the…

I love Billy Blanks Taebo. I use the older versions and recently got the New version with the bands for resistance. It's the best overall work out. About 10 years ago my friends who is a trainer got me using weights and cardo plus a great diet. She told me and my husband that 90 is diet. She is the oldest professional…

Yes the meds can cause problems with weight. If you want to kick start your motabolism to lose weight, uping your calories to over 2000 is not the answer. I have heard this over the years and have never heard of anyone supper successful with this concept unless they were only eating 500 to 800 calories a day and their body…

Hi All- I'm 5'5 and I'm 46 years old. When I was in my 20's and 30's I was 120-125. After 38 it has been a struggle and I jumped up to 140-145. I have lost a few time back down to about 135. So setting my goal at 130 seem reasonable. I just hit that and now I've readjusted to 125 like when I was younger. Why not. I think…
