Keep it up! Proud of you!

I've been on MFP for years!!! As of April 2022 I had lost about 115 pounds. I decided to 'rest' there and learn how to maintain before trying to lose another 20-25 pounds. It was great until my mom was diagnosed with dementia. I've gained a little. Not much but more that I would prefer. Still wearing all the clothes I…

I put a scoop of protein powder in my oatmeal. I use the rolled oat - not a fan of instant. Three minutes in the microwave - then they sit for a bit until I make it back to the kitchen. Add in protein powder, chia seeds and / or ground flax seed.

@GigiShy I am 56. Sometimes it feels older and at the same time I feel stuck at 26! lol

The Wellness Revelation by Alisa Keeton is one of my favorites - along with her Revving the Word podcast that drops every Monday. Good stuff!!! I am currently reading Your Good Body by Jennifer Taylor Wagner - I've only read the first chapter but very good also. (I heard her interviewed on a Revelation Wellness podcast and…

Wishing you the best in this new adventure! Thank you for being a caretaker. You've got this - one day at a time - as cliche as that is! Cheering for you!

I didn't read all of the responses so if someone has said this already - my apologies. One of the things I learned to say as I was/am losing weight, "I don't do that anymore." There is a lot of power in that statement. Sometimes I have to say it to myself just as a reminder when things get stressful.

Congratulations!!! Such an inspiration!

Do the next right thing.

This is profound and really hits where I am living today. I think if we can all apply this concept to our lives and the choices we make - wow. Probably not as easy as it sounds but I will be working on this narrative today!!

Hi! I'm soon to be 56 :) I've been on MFP for quite a long time but last year was my year. I've still got a little bit to lose but right now I am focused on getting stronger. Sending a friend request.

Not from Wisconsin but a big part of my heart lives there! I'll send you a friend request.

It could be TOM related or just a plateau. Maybe switch up your proteins. Drink plenty as in LOTS of water. Don't stress. If you are keeping at a deficit in your calories - your body will catch up and drop those pounds. Look for other areas of success. The scale is not the only measure of success on this journey. You've…

This is getting so frustrating!!!

Same here. All last week and still today. I cleared my cache, restarted my computer...nothing has helped. The app works fine but I prefer to use the website from my computer. Easier to read and to type.

I'm getting the same thing. Yesterday and today. I prefer using my computer as well but this is frustrating.

Just joined and not sure what to do next. ??

I leave the house at 3:50am to walk....breakfast comes much later. Do what works best for you :)

Make sure you have good lean protein with each meal. It takes longer to digest and will give you energy. Drink lots of water so you stay hydrated.

Thanks - lots of good advice. I found a bike shop near my home and plan to go by there this week.

Great idea. I've been looking on Amazon and Walmart.

"I've often felt as that it would be unfair for me to continue past this age living less of a life than I want or deserve, when she didn't even get those years." This really spoke to me. Thank you.

I love your outlook!

Nice job!!

I got to 10 months and bleh - small period. For the next few months I felt light symptoms of a period coming but so far nothing. Four months now.....we'll see.

Mine seems to be thinning but my hairdresser doesn't think I'm losing more than is normal. I just know I could barely get two wraps with a hair tie and now it's three. I guess it could be the layers? It is one of my worries because my hair has been my ONE thing that I really loved! I'm glad the products seem to be working…

Wow!! That's amazing - congrats!! What an accomplishment!!

Congratulations!!! You look amazing and I bet you feel great!

Just to be on the safe side - did a pregnancy test! :p

I do have a doctor's appointment set for Saturday (hopefully to get rid of the bp meds) - this will be part of the conversation for sure.
