I am 55 and just started a 30 day ab challenge with my daughter. I did 6 out of 7 days, skipping the 4th of July. I am now on day 8. I am so far kicking her butt :), but need to get the eating in order. She only weighs 103 lbs, however. You can add me. Tomorrow I want to start tracking my food again.

The man vs. woman thing is where I hang up. Men burn more calories than woman at the same weight. Otherwise, I agree.

I just turned 55 last Monday. You can add me if you want.

Yes. I agree with the other posters,Jut wear them for an hour at a time and build up.

I have been with an emotional abuser now for 31 years. While I am grateful for his service, what he did to you was abusive. There is no excuse for abuse. I have had a hard time leaving, but I need to for my sanity. It is much easier when you are not married, don't have kids, and don't have decades of history and…

You look fabulous! You can join some of us who I trying to lose 20 by June.

As long as they were appropriate, I love to encourage others.

I can definitely see it. Keep it up!

Never beat yourself up. Chances are, you have someone else all too willing to do that for you. I pray . I exercise because it helps with my own moods.( I can't right now because I have had a recent hip replacement.) Just do what you can right where you are. People have told me to take care of myself, eating and sleeping…

Sorry,, I'll continue here... I have just had hip replacement surgery, so I'm doing more encouraging others, but hope to really start in when I can get some serious exercise.

You can add me. I'm older and my youngest is 17, but I have around 40 to lose.I have just

I get hung up on 40 lbs. You have consistency that is vital to your success. Thank you for the inspiration.

I wouldn't lift until you get to the doctor about your back. You could end up with an injury that makes it difficult to do anything. I wouldn't recommend any free weights without proper instruction. You can use weight machines if you want to go it alone, but at least get some advice from the people at the gym who get paid…

Oh, I thought I was on a fitness site! My bad.

Active.

I lost 4.4 lbs since my total hip replacement 5 1/2 weeks ago.

I would, even though I haven't weighed in over five weeks. I had hip replacement at that time. It would be nice to get back in the swing of things. Do I have to post my weight, or just losses and gains?

I disagree with the person who said, "sorry you let him make you feel this way." Is he very focused on your appearance and not on his own? Has he had a habit of love- bombing and then withdrawing affection? Has he always been an *kitten*, or is this something new? Sometimes strangers are able to give you more support than…

I agree with those that say get a different doctor. The fact that you do lose a little with low carb signifies something. Reese has some good points.

Grand Rapid, MI, 8 Fahrenheit. Wind chill -19. Blizzard. 115 car pile up in Kalamazoo. Semi with fire works exploded and gave a fire works display.

The military people I know are all incredibly polite and would not say such things. I do think the young marine was negging, which is abusive.

I would thank any person in the armed forces for their service. They are amazing with that! However, it does not.give him permission to insult an American he is supposed to be defending. She did not behave in an overly sensitive manner at all.

You were awesome and totally appropriate. I wish I always was that clever. You reproved him in just the right way. Kudos!

You are stunningly beautiful! Great work!

People should never bash. We are here to support one another. You are still on the right track. Measure your successes, not your "failures." You are doing great.

MI, and I say pop, subs, and lightning bugs.

You can add me. Same place you are, but I'm 5'2 1/2" and 153 lbs. I would like to lose at least 30 lbs. Don't know how many stone that is.... I weigh one lb more than when I was 9 months pregnant for my kids. I am solid, so I still wear a size 8 US., but I should be about a 4 for my small bone structure.

I agree with this so much!

Sooo inspiring! (That feels like such and understatement.) God has a great plan for your life. You would really be in a great position to help someone in that same position. You show how really hard things can be done. God Bless You! I am praying for your continued success.
