I'm 59 - also between 5'10 and 5'11 depending on the day. When I was younger I weighed it at about 138. My friends said I was too thin, but when you're young - you can never be TOO thin, Looking back - when my oldest daughter was in college - I could find clothes for her in a size 8 and try them on. if I could barely get…

Is this squat challenge the one that starts with 50 squats , then 2nd day 60 and so on? I just saw a post of that yesterday on FB. Do you have to do all of them at one time or can you do half in the morning and half at night?

I spoke to someone today who made an interesting point. She was petite, 51 and in really good shape. She runs for exercise but doesn't need to lose weight. Gain perhaps, but not lose. Her advice? Within 30 minutes after a workout - eat something with protein. It helps to repair damage done during the workout and minimizes…

I am one of those self -employed small business owners who had to give up health insurance several years ago and is eagerly awaiting some health care plan my hubby and I can afford. We've always been healthy, but when we went over 50 - even though we rarely had any claims and really ever visited a doctor - our insurance…

I find this thread so interesting. I was saying the same thing over a month ago. Then I started writing down everything, or at least as much as I could. I find putting in food into the counter rather difficult since most of what I consume - other than basic stuff - I make. I make soup. I make pasta - I make bread etc. you…

That is my understanding. I had read a long time ago, that to reach a certain weight below your current weight, you should consume the calorie allotment of THAT particular weight. Over time you would reach that weight goal. I don't know if that works, but it does make sense. It would probably take a long time to reach your…

I record everything - alcohol included. My problem is that if I have one, I want another I have the same problem. Only I'm into the Kirkland ready to drink - Golden Margarita stuff. 150 calories for 4oz. I usually want about 10 oz. I fill a wine glass full of ice and then pour in the Margarita. That way I get about 3 oz…

I decided to replace my digital scale because it's old and I was sure it was off. Went to Bed Bath and Beyond to look. They have all types there, so I asked the sales lady if she had any suggestions. - prepared to have her recommend the high priced one. To my surprise she showed me to the official Weight Watcher's Scale.…

I feel your anguish. I am - or was - having the same problem. I worked out every day - THOUGHT I was watching my calories but not actually logging them. Although my pants fit a little different and my workouts got a little easier - I gained 3 pounds. I decided to log my food intake. I'm still not finding out just how much…

typically MFP adjusts for my exercise output as recorded on my fit bit, but for some reason it's not working today. is there a way to fix it? some days I would only earn 30-50 calories, but today - after walking 1-1/2 miles adding 3,000 steps since waking - it hasn't compensated at all.It should be showing something - but…
