It is...unfortunately...not very active at all.

My goal is 105 in a year. Would love some friends with similar goals. :)

You have done well....just continue and be patient. I am also post menapausal. The difference is that you need to do more weight resistance training than before and also increase your grams of protein to 100-115....but not by eating more red meat....drink a high protein shake.

Hi....I am another in this same boat! Please add me....and anyone else who sees this please feel free to add me. This is one tough journey and we can help one another!

I am 52...was diagnosed with high blood pressure 5 years ago. I did not know I had it...but I was having problems with my vision in one eye. Found out my bp was consistently running 180/120...and as a result, from all of that pressure, I suffered damage to that eye. I immediately went on bp meds.....at first, I had to take…

My friend who, ironically, is a nurse....said her doctor told her that it is impossible to lose weight once you hit menopause. Doctors do not know everything.....you need to take charge of your own health and be informed.

I love Zaxby's buffalo fingers....but if I get them, I just order the plate of 5 with no sides and drink either water or diet soda. I also have them give me a packet of light ranch instead of the regular ranch that goes with it. It is ok to do the fast food now and then, just be smart when you do. Try to avoid the fries!!

Ummm...you are 46. Don't blame your parents. You make your own choices. And now you have made the healthy choice to take charge of that part of your life. Congratulations! You can do it!

51........old timer! Lol!

I am like a lot of people on here...I don't like eating breakfast. However, I do my workouts in the morning and I need to eat something before I go. Since I like to do as little as possible when I first get up, it has to be easy. I go for 1/2 cup of lowfat cottage cheese and a thin wheat bagel with 1 T of Ricotta cheese on…

We are only here on earth for such a short time.......but our spirit lives on in eternity. Whether he believes that or not, it is the truth. Pray for him. Ask yourself, as a Christian, can you really be with someone who does not believe?

Hell NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I agree with the others....free weights are the better way to strength train. However, I do suggest machines for working out the legs (leg extensions, leg curls, and hip adduction and abduction machines).

I agree with you...hands down it is FISH for me too. However, I also absolutely cannot stand any sort of yogurt...not even if it has been sweetened with fruits. Ew.

A good massage therapist can help with that. Oh...I just happen to be one! Lol! What I do, and what I tell my clients to do at home, is either get a ball such as a tennis ball...or you can make a fist with your hand...lay on your back on the floor and put the tennis ball or hand into your glute area and keep the pressure…

Good luck to you! I just joined this site less than 2 weeks ago and I really like it so far.

Two years ago I could barely walk because of knee pain...I figured I had several choices.....give up and just not move around much, go to a doctor and see about surgery of some sort, or do something about it myself!!! I chose the latter and worked on strengthening my quad muscles (thighs). If you have access to a gym, do…

I have twin boys! They are now 25 and one of them just had a baby boy a month ago (well, his wife did..Lol!).

I definitely hear you...and I know others out there do too. This weight loss stuff may very well be one of the hardest things you will ever do in your life. It takes commitment and time and patience. You will have days, like today, where it pulls you down and you just want to give up. But tomorrow is a NEW day and you just…

8 Minute Abs about 9 years ago with my teenage daughters. It did help, but then I got away from it. I now have the DVD of it, and still don't use it. :(

I just joined about a week and a half ago....and I would love to have someone to 'talk' to and give and receive support from. This losing weight is so tough!!!! Please feel free to add me as a friend. :) Cathy
