I love roasted and/or sauteed red bell peppers they seem to go with everything. My favorite is to use them with lots of raw spinach, english cucumber, and put them in a wrap with a little light cream cheese, mmmm I am getting hungry now.

I don't believe carbs are dangerous. I do believe that people's bodies are different from one another. I have insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome, I am trying to find out what true calorie intake I need to have, I know it is less than what is recommended on MFP because I have stalled major for 3 weeks now.…

I love my family! I always wanted to have 5 kids, for some reason that always seemed to be the number that I thought I would have and the number that I felt was "just right". Now I have my 5 kids and my wonderful awesome husband and it is perfect! Don't get me wrong there are trials and tribulations and one child is a…

GREAT Job! You look like you feel amazing! Congrats!

Hi, I'm 5'2.5" I am 46 years old. SW: 272 CW: 259 GW: 140 My cal goal is 1480, I usually eat most of my work out calories, although sometimes I don't. I do walking, aqua aerobics, swimming, bicycles and a few times I have done the weight machines. I was doing EAS Active Sports 2 on the WII, but my knees hurt so extremely…

I definitely do not love my body. Then again, I don't love anyone's body lol. I have never been into the outward shell of anyone. No matter how beautiful someone may be by social standards their personality can make them hideous. On the flip side, no matter how ugly someone is by social standards their personality can make…

I drink water and Diet Peach Snapple. My sister drank the diet peach snapple and I tried one of hers one day and was hooked, I switched from soda to the snapple, it has to be the diet peach snapple though, it doesn't taste like diet and it is soooooo scrumptious!

Other than the fact that I want to feel like he is masculine and can kill spiders, move furniture, and do a tune up on my car lol size does not matter :happy:

I also had a sudden weight gain, mine was in my mid twenties. The weight gain (80 pounds in one year) led to the doctor testing for, and diagnosing PCOS, that was after many frustrating doctors who said condesending things like, "maybe your just not being honest with yourself about what you are eating" I finally found a…

Thanks for posting this question and thanks for all of the responses. I have PCOS as well, and have stalled for a few weeks now. I am going to try adding the cinnamon. I have been working my butt off and not losing anything is discouraging. I do feel much better with all the exercise, but still a girl would like keep…

Wooo Hoo! That is AWESOME! Congrats!

Thanks for posting this question, I was wondering too :)

Woo Hoo! That is awesome for you! Sorry for you guys not feeling good, it will pass and you have accomplished much!

I always think you go boy/girl! Good for them! I wish I had their confidence, and knees lol.

Hee Hee birthday thread takeover, my birthday is Friday too! I will be 46 IF I had the body that I would feel comfortable wearing younger styles, I would definitely rock them! More power to the confident older women who do! :) -Donna

Sometimes if I am having an emotional time with my weight I don't feel ashamed but embarassed that I don't look as good as I used to when we met. It is all in my head though as he is always very aroused to see my body. It sometimes hinders my arousal by me being too wrapped up in "how I must look in intimate positions".…

Not a chance. You gotta know you can get through the "ugly" parts of life together, and there are plenty. My hubby and I have seen eachother at our best and worst, it would not matter if he were horribly disfigured in an accident I would be by his side looking at his inner beauty and taking care of his wounds. I agree…

Me too March 9

Real men have hair on their bodies, bare makes me feel like I am looking at someone who hasn't finished going through puberty...

I will be 46 years old in 2 weeks and I have a 2 year old boy, a 6 year old girl, 15 year old girl, 20 year old boy and 25 year old boy. I really want to be alive to watch my children go and if I don't do something about my weight I won't be sooooo....off we go :) Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Weight Loss Tools

Thanks so much everyone for all the advice. I am going to try doing the soak, I do take 3 days off (not in a row) on that program and do other exercises but I am still in pain, I will try the ibuprofen, shoes, soft knees, modifying my workout, checking my form, and ice. Unfortunately I do not have insurance if I did I…

I am stretching out. I actually am not wearing any shoes. I work out bare-footed, could this be part of the problem?

I would say call the hostess and tell her that you are really trying to watch what you eat and ask her if she would mind if you brought your own mix and tell her you could bring extra in case other people wanted a lower calorie option. Who knows she may think that is a fabulous idea...

I use WII Fit Plus and EA Sports Active 2. The EA I just started using a few weeks ago and my left knee is sore all day every day. On Wii Fit Plus you can select Wii Fit Plus Routines and/or My Routines which allows you to use or make a fitness routine. I like those and do set up routines slecting which areas I want to…

We got engaged when I was 29 and he was 24 we got married the same year. We had been together for 3 years. We have been together for 19 years. I had been married previously, married at 21 together for 6 years at that point and marriage lasted 5 years. So, 11 years total relationship. Too young....

I am just starting my journey I have lost 10 lbs my SW was 272. Please feel free to add me....

I'm 5'3 not sure what my goal is yet, when I had weighed around 140 (many many moons ago) people commented I was too thin, so I'll just have to see. As I am just starting my journey I will see how I look and feel as I lose. Nice to see everyone's picts! Thanks for sharing. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For…
