Hello all. Trying keto for the 2nd time. First time didn’t take. Only into my 2nd day but I’m hopeful! I’m aiming to go with 20g of carbs max. I would love to hear everyone’s success stories, trials and tribulations and tips on what to do and not do!

I'm 52 and have 20 pounds to lose. I've been on LCHF for the past month. Have lost my Christmas belly bloat and very happy about that. I actually like eating fats now! Feel free to add me!

Hi all, I'm 52 and have 20 lbs. to lose. These days, the scale is very slow to move so you're not alone. Many of us (not all) do experience this, as there's lots of change by this age. The changing hormones of menopause don't help. It's even more compounded if someone has health/medical issues. That said, there are many…

I agree with you...low carb is not necessarily healthier. People can choose poor carb choices...poor food choices regardless of diet. For me personally, going low carb meant choosing more veggies (which are carbs) and low glycemic fruit (over the processed stuff) combined with adequate fat and proten, because diabetes is…

Ahh... Everyone is different, and your needs and tolerances will change from your 20s->30s->40s->50s->60s. Those who are in your 20s and 30s, enjoy it and take advantage of all that you can do now. But as you get older, many people find it more challenging and many will have some medical issues. Many find they cannot lose…

Hello all, I'm 52 and 5'4". I think I'm in the 150s (my scale is not working) at least at last check. I've been doing IF for about 2 months now... my IF approach is different "16:8". Basically this means fasting for 16 hours and getting all your eating in an 8 hour window. I chose this IF schedule, because I wasn't sure…

Good morning fab 40+ MFPers :smile: I'd like to join! I'm 52 and in Toronto! I have 20 lbs to lose which I've gained in just 3 years. It's even harder in your 50s to keep the weight off. Been active all my life, but no excuses, I let myself go... Now, slow and steady is my new motto :) I've managed to get my eating in…

Hi Serena! And hugs to all! I'm turning 53 soon, and in Toronto. Glad you started this forum, as I am also curious to know what has worked (or hasn't worked) for women of our age group. I know for me, that there is already a difference between what I was able to do at 50 vs. now. What I did to lose 10 lbs when I was 50 is…

I'm 50 and believe I'm peri-menopausal. I've gained 13 pounds already in 5 months. Went from 140 to 153 lbs. I've been eating fairly well mostly veggies, fruit, yogurt, eggs, chicken, fish. Whole grain sometimes. No potatoes, No dairy, sugar...and stay away from processed foods as much as I can. Granted, at this point, I'm…

Hi, I just started week 3 of Month 1 of Insanity. Loving it btw. We are about the same... I started about 142lbs, I'm 5'4"....oh, and I turn 50 in a month. So by our society's standards, I'm no spring chicken. Back fat and belly fat are the challenges that come with age..and they are mine. So, I was eating really healthy…

Wow! That's SO amazing! I'm inspired and very happy for you! I'm on Day 4 tomorrow and feeling really good about this so far! No weight loss yet, but already feel a difference!

I am on day 3 today! After being a couch potato for over a year, my core has been in such poor shape and I lost muscle in the last year. Then, about 3 wks ago, I started doing his 15 minute workout (as seen on Dr. Oz), and then again, and again. So I finally got off my butt and was FINALLY motivated to work out. I tried…

Yocupcake, thank you!!!

That's amazing! I just started Day 1 today! I'm hoping for good results, I'm clean eating...trying to follow the 17 day diet. Nice to see the great results so far! Keep it going!
-
Hi there! I will join you and anyone else who is just starting out with this! Although I am only starting today... Don't let the naysayers get to you...:flowerforyou: I did this last year and lost 11 pounds, and kept most of it off. Let's do this!

Great info! Rice used to be my staple....but I will try the rice cooker! And I'll try quinoa....never have had it before.

I meant to include this quote in my post!

Oh now you're talking! Yummmm risotto!

1) Track/log your food - It's amazing how this has translated to more knowledge and motivation to eating differently, towards goals. 2) Eliminate/limit all processed food - including white rice, white bread, sugar, packaged foods. 3) Water, water, water.

Hi I'm from Toronto too! Nice to see fellow Canadians! Feel free to friend me!

Very interesting....I read through most of the posts here, and there were a couple of things that lit up a lightbulb for me...: I like the fact that this approach to "calories in vs. out", accommodates the wide spectrum of physical activity output...from someone who walks to someone who burns a whackload of calories from…

You're not alone Chantelle...It's really hard to do and it's constant work to "keep it going". First thing I would do is read up on all the tried and true steps for goal setting. You know you should make specific concrete goals (the 'what' that's measurable, by a certain time frame (the 'when'). But re: your…

Bump! I checked out the WEBSITES that people mentioned on here, for free demos... These ones stood out for me: 1) Cross Fit - http://www.crossfit.com/cf-info/excercise.html#KBs, Loads of information on that site. Very cool...He's really good with taking the time to make sure you have the right form. You get the basics but…

OMG I think I am older than all of you...I'm 48! But a youthful 48 (turning 49 in April!) :happy:

Yay! Thanks so much for the links to the KB exercises. Duchess, if you have never tried it, you should...it feels awesome!!! (proper form always though!)
-
Me too...I'm a newbie.. I agree that I love how I feel afterwards, it really does make you feel like kicking *kitten*! haha. I just want to know more exercises to do with this thing. For now I just swing it back and forth....and I love that I FEEL my core doing it, not to mention my glutes and back getting stronger. We…
