Young women who were previously athletic tend to do well on this show. In my opinion she looked a bit gaunt, but if I were 28 and had a chance at $250K, I would have pushed it too. She can always add some back, and probably will. It really made me rethink my goals, though. Thin is great, but skinny looks icky on women past…

"Once begun is half done" - as Mary Poppins says. Just getting to the gym is the hardest part. Once you are there, you might as well move! I love the idea of the C25K app, will look into it as I signed up for a 5 k this March. Good luck!!

Don't give it up, but make sure to up your water intake. I try to drink at least a glass or water for every glass of wine. Always helps the next day! :drinker:

I feel your pain. I too am 49 and have been on MFP for over a year, but have really been cracking down the last 5 months. I have lost the same 7 pounds since I have been on here. HOWEVER.... my clothes fit me better, I feel better, and so the scale, like my age - it is just a number. It shouldn't limit me and certainly…

No, but you just gave me a bunch of ideas for my gym rat son! Thank you!

I love wine. so very much. I prefer reds, cabernet, zinfandels, but I enjoy whites on warm summer nights too. I save my calories for my glass or five of wine. Trying to limit to 1. Problem is, once the bottle is open with reds, it doesn't keep. Box wine is good for that problem, but then I have a box of wine at the ready.…

Agree with above - I have been facing the same challenge- working out, logging calories but actually started gaining weight(!) and then finally lost 3 pounds. HOWEVER... I have lost 3 inches off my waist and 1 inch off my hips since I started tracking that (I like you didn't track at first). My clothes are fitting better,…

Hi there! I am getting back into MFP again - and have been pretty dilligent for about 2 -3 weeks now. I have gained most of my weight since turning 40, and I would like to lose about 20 pounds, rather than the gaining of about 2 + pounds a year. I recently joined a gym, and am very interested in getting healthy - I don't…

Hi there! I wanna be a cool kid too! I am 49 (geesh - that's hard to type) and have been on and off MFP for a year or so. Just joined a gym for the first time in.. i can't remember. I need to step up my game, asI would like to lose some weight, but more importantly I can't get over how quickly it jumped on after I hit 40!…

yes. i have managed to find about 25 pounds over the past 7 years, and I would like to lose it. I am nearly 49 and I really don't want to get to 50 with this extra baggage. It seems like every pound I add is exponentially harder to lose than the last one. I am now committed to exercising at least 3 times a week (love…

Just turned 48. Age is just a number! Yes, the bigger the number is the harder it seems to lose weight. Stick to this site, it will motivate you! Keep track of what you are eating, working out, etc. Be reasonable! My first week I went nuts and injured myself, so the diet recommendations are more important than ever. Have…

I do all of the above: keep the seed in it, put some lemon or lime on the exposed part, and put plastic wrap directly on the exposed cut sides, so no air can get to it. Keep it in the fridge. Will last more than 4 days.

I am 5'7" and my goal is 130. When I was 20 I weighed 110. I wasn't too thin, just thin. If I tried to go to 110 now (which I don't think is possible, except for illness or surgery), I would look sick. As you get older, weight loss can go from looking healthy to gaunt within a few pounds. I am less concerned about the # on…

Hi there! I just started this week myself. This site is awsome, and so helpful. I too am the biggest I have ever been, and it is hard. The food diary is very helpful, i am also finding that if I put what I am going to eat in the morning for at least breakfast and lunch, that it keeps me sticking to it, so I don't try to…

Thank you! I need all the help I can get.:wink:
