I am with you! It seems once I start having "sweet treats" I want them all of the time, and a habit has been formed. i.e. McDonald's ice cream cones!

I quit drinking almost 4 years ago because I got tired of the hangovers. So my answer is don't drink.

I quit almost two weeks ago, and it is awesome! I am happy that you too have made one of the best decision ever for your health! Congratulations!

water:tongue:

I think you are eating way to little calories. Just my two cents.

Hi I am Karen, and I would ike to join this group, and take the challenge. I will do 100 miles in September, count on it!

I am 5'2 and started MFP in Jan at 170.5, I am now 130, and went as low as 126. I am 49 yrs old and it seems I have trouble maintaining anything under 130, although I would love to be 125. I currently wear a 6/8 and am pretty happy where I am. I do have loose skin from the 42lb loss, and need to concentrate on lifting.…

I have been using MFP since Jan 2012, and have lost 42lbs. Only about 5 pounds away from my goal. Yesterday I went for a physical and expected a really good report. NOT - I was called back to the doctor 20 min after I left, they asked me to come back for a second chest X-Ray. There was "shadowing" on my both chest x-rays,…

I too am 5'2. I started at 170.5 in Jan, and currently around 129, am almost 50 yrs old. My original goal was 135, then 130, and again I changed it to 125. Honestly, I feel great where I am at. If I am honest I think 125 is probably a "vanity" weight. Too each his own.

Funny you should ask, TOM came to visit today, about every three weeks at my house. I am almost 50 and expect that menopause is knocking at my door. Anyway, I gave in to my guilty please of chocolate covered peanuts, and yes I ate the entire 6 oz. bag. OMG!

I have issues with the late night muchies as well. I like sweets and sometimes a Dr. Pepper Bold (10 cal) will do the trick. I also tend to go to bed early.

I have a work-out room at home, and work out at least 60 min, 6 times per week

No forbidden foods, it is all about moderation, and calories in, calories out. Enjoy!

Hi, I am 49, been on the site since Jan, and have lost 42 lbs. I am only a few pounds away from my ultimate goal. Just got back from vacation a week ago, and am having a hard time getting back on track with eating. This is my imperfect journey, feel free to join me.

I too had a bad day of eating yesterday. I was up a couple of pounds this morning. I have been at this since Jan. 2012, and have my ups and downs but have lost 42 pounds thus far, and only of couple of pounds away from my goal. I have realized that this is a journey and an imperfect one at that. I just try not to focus too…

Thinking of a breast lift, what was the approximate cost?

This is an awesome transformation!! You look stunning!!:flowerforyou:

I am a 49 yr old female, and have just started strength training. I tend to do better with a structured routine. Any suggestions, dvds, etc would be greatly appreciated. I have lost 41 lbs in the last 5 months doing cardio on my elliptical but I know it is time to change things up. I also have flabby arms, and thighs along…

Mission complete! Thanks, I have been a real slacker when it comes to my abs. I think I will make the 150 crunches part of my daily routine. Keep the challenges coming, love them~

Planning on a breast lift for my 50th birthday, it is next February. I've lost 32 lbs, have about 10 more for goal. Can't wait for my boobs to be where they are suppose to be, and not extra long! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

I use cardio on the elliptical and put in age/weight. I usually work out about 75 min and according to my elliptical burn around 420-430 calories. I use the calories burned from my machine, MPF almost double the calories burned. Just what I do...I have lost 25 pounds in 12 weeks.

First, I can't imagine having this problem! LOL, however, my son has the same issue. He has drank supplements like Ensure in the past. Also, there is peanut butter which is a healthy way to go and has quite a bit of calories in a small amount. Other than that, I am not much help as I have always struggled with my weight. I…

Off to Hawaii, West Maui for 10 days in May for wedding anniversary. Cannot wait - first visit to Hawaii!

wow, you look great! I hope I look half as good when I lose 24! I have lost 13 thus far. Way to go

wow, that sound's like Christmas to me! Your hubby was very good to you!

We are doing a valentine's day lunch tomorrow so we don't have to fight the dinner crowd! I had my hair cut, and styled today, that is what I asked for from my husband. I guess I am too practical and not romantic enough. Happy Valentine's day everyone!

Thanks so much! I will be 50 next year, and want to be 50 and FIT!

Thank you, I too have to start out in "layers". I have been doing cardio for a little over 6 weeks, and this is why I now want to add weight training. Good luck on your journey.

Thanks! I will check out the website. Appreciate your input!
