Turning 49 was hard for me, that being the last of the 40's. On my 40th BD my mom (who turned 60 then) and I went together and got our first tattoos. I plan on adding to mine on my 50th. I'm in great health, wear my daughter's jeans, and as you can see by my user name, I'm fighting age with all the way! I have no control…

It's so nice to see 40 plus-ers with good eating and exercising habits. I'm tasting 50 (it's yucky) and it's getting much harder to stay fit. I've even had to back off my wine consumption to drop a few lbs! What has this world come to?
-
Jacob's Ladder! I call it Satan's Ladder. Maybe I'll try the Murder thing. Might be easier!
-
On a hard workout for me I range from 150 to 175. I try to back off before 170 then ramp up again because I hear it's a better, more efficient burn but yesterday on Jacob's Ladder I notice 180. It scared me for a moment until I realized I hadn't passed out and I didn't feel bad at all. I don't want to get that high and…

How do you know you need them or which to take?
-
McCann's 5 minute Steel Cut oats, plain, with one glorious fried egg on top. It's my grits substitute.
-
Oh so nice! Congratulations!:drinker:
-
Use Eggbeaters to replace eggs at least a couple of times a week. It makes a wonderful omelet!
-
Oh HELL NO! I've showered there a couple of times after swimming but there shampoo/cream rinse/soap are terrible and I haven't stepped in a shower when there wasn't a couple of long black hairs in the pan. I always wear shower shoes and don't have a problem with being naked (not that it's pretty but that I just don't…

Same here, somewhat hard to find women in my age group with same weight issues. I'm so close to 50 I can smell it, have one daughter in college, happily married, LOVE to cook, LOVE my wine, HATE the 10 lbs that occasionally creep on. I've tried to run numerous times but I am apparently endorphin-deficient. Otherwise, I do…

It looks like you're serious about losing or you wouldn't be here. This is a really good site, very good tool. I'm 49 and it seems like the weight just moves in and stays anymore. I've been able to utilize this site to make me aware of WHAT I eat as well as HOW MUCH I eat. You don't even realize the quantity sometimes. I…
-
Same here! I only eat them if I'm hungry. Sometimes I have a hard time getting to 1200.
-
After. HRM records cals burned so I can be accurate.
-
Club soda! Flavored vodka and club (or plain vodka with a lime). Cheap red or white wine with club soda.
-
Are you eating all of the cals you burn by exercising? MFP say you need to but I found an extremely long yet very informative thread on the message board about not having to, that you don't go into "starvation mode". I found it hard on some days to get to my 1200 cals PLUS the 400-500 I burn at the gym. After further…
-
Hard for me as well. Good: In the winter my husband and I go to the gym, (nice with no rush), get the chores done, then I make healthy menus for the week, grocery shop, and on Sunday make healthy lunches for the whole week. Bad: We make the BEST Bloody Marys! So hard to resist on the weekends! Also love to cook and drink…
-
I'm within 1-2 lbs. My prob is every time I get there, I allow a cheat day, then a cheat weekend, pretty soon I'm up 10 lbs again! Not this time damn-it!:drinker:
-
-
Haha! Never thought of fat too old to budge! Mine just may be like my 22 yo daughter, too comfortable to move out. I sure hope not! I have a very hard time turning my "critical" attitude into my "good for me" attitude but I try to work on it daily. "Good for me: I went to the gym today" instead of "Jeez, are my thighs made…
-
Whew! I felt like an idiot roaming my kitchen in the evening trying to find something to eat to get to that magical 1200. Think I'll back off of that a bit and see what happens, I'm pretty sure I won't starve myself. Thanks OP!
-
My scale isn't moving either but sure seems that way as far as clothes fitting. I thought I was imagining it but could it be: I'M GETTING FITTER? Yee-haw!
-
9 lbs is great! Slow and steady wins the race and all that crap. It's hard when you know you're doing it right (slowly, lifestyle change, exercise, etc) so the weight will stay off but it's pretty damn defeating when you put so much effort into it and maybe lose only one pound in a week. I mean, I only drank ONE GLASS of…
-
...my skin wasn't losing all elasticity.
-
Yes. They say you need to eat your exercise cals burned or your body will go into starvation type mode and slow weight loss. Absolute minimum is 1200. I've also read msgs that say it's ok to only eat a portion of your exer cals burned. I only eat half or so.
-
My daughter uses this in her shakes as well. It tastes great!
-
Congratulations on the 5 lb loss AND going to the gym with your daughter!

My motivation: SUMMER! We love to be outdoors and on the boat which requires a bathing suit. I'm going to go kicking a screaming into a one-piece. It will probably be this summer but I'm going to make a 2-pc last as long as I can. I have a HRM and love to register cals burned DAILY on my calendar. If there is a no-exercise…
