Hi I am 45 and wanted to say I love this group. I have had issues gaining loosing weight since I had my first child at 31. I am happy to say as of August 28th when I restarted again my goal to loose weight I weighed in at 197. Today January 24th I am at 155. I went from a size 16 to a size 8 and still want to loose a bit…

I've not been able to really exercise from injuries PT once per week, stretching and some walking. I try and get in 1200 but usually between 1000 to 1100. Yes I weigh and measure everything.

Great articles! Thanks so much!

Thank you all! Kim I know how you feel! I will keep tugging along and pray for that dip again.

Thank you all!

I want your stomach!

mgalsf12 loose weight along with strengthening my stomach so my skin firms up.

thanks. I figured to good to be true.

Thank you! I will practice patience. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing anything wrong. In my younger years the weight would come off fast just didn't seem as fast to me this time. But I also could exercise more then.

Thank you all for your help. I am 5'4" and weigh 184 at this time. I would like to loose 40 to 50 pounds. I log in what I eat into MFP and it ranges from 1000 to 1,100 calories per day. I will add something to hit the 1,200 calorie mark. I was worried I may be eating to little but then wasn't sure given my lack of ability…

Great job. What an inspiration. Looking great!

I stay as far away from the scale as possible this time.

Wow!!! You look amazing. What a great job and I love your hair.

You look amazing. Great job!

Try dropping your caloric amount to 1200 per day. See if that helps. This is what I am on. Also maybe have your thyroid checked.

Same here. Gall bladder removed for same reason.

What about a pool? aquatic aroebics is gentle on the joints.

Yes please share. Thanks! I just started reading a book also called Burn the Fat and Feed the Muscle. Appears to cover almost everything. But I am only on page 9 so can't give much advice yet.

Have you asked your personal trainer as I believe in a gym they are supposed to teach you nutrition as well. I am soon to get a trainer as well. Good luck! Staying active sure helps. I need to know the same thing myself.

Hi there, my name is Melissa and I would gladly take this journey with you. I agree we need someone to cheer us on and pick us up when needed.
