Lots of rain in TN today! I could use some new friends, if anyone would like to add me! I'll be 51 next month and am just continuing on the path of trying to stay healthy/no injuries, and cleaning up some really bad eating habits over the last 7 months. Happy Hump Day!!

Turned 50 in July 2018. Looking for some new friends that log in daily and can provide some encouragement. I was working out 6 days a week till I injured my knee in August, so that side-lined me a bit. I put on 20 lbs because I reverted back to old eating habits. I'm really trying to hit my reset button and get back on…

My weight loss journey is a long one. Chubby since childhood, I hit my highest weight of 278 in 2007. Went on multiple medications for high BP, high choles., metabolic syndrome/insulin resistance. Yo yo'd for almost a decade. In Jan. 2016 I had had enough, and via my employer, I was able to join "The Biggest Winner"…

I'll chime in here. I am 49 y/o. My GYN told me a few months ago that I'm almost at the end of perimenopause. I will go 2-3 months with no period, then spot/light flow for 2-3 weeks. I rarely have hot flashes, and if I do, they're at night only. I'm usually freezing cold! I notice my mood worsens when I've not had my…

I'm very close to being 5'6". Currently weigh 215. Goal weight 185.

Try looking up Les Mills Body Flow on youtube. It's a combo workout of Tai Chi, Yoga, and Pilates, and it will burn calories! Good luck!

I definitely have 25 lbs to lose!! I did great at Thanksgiving and didn't gain any, but my mantra of "maintain, don't gain" for Christmas was a total bust! :s :( I'm ready to be back at it, especially after realizing how carb sensitive I am. I used to take medication for Metabolic Syndrome/Insulin Resistance, but b/c I…

sweaty!

I have always been overweight and I finally figured out at the age of 47 that the ONLY way I can enjoy some of the higher fat foods I like to indulge in, is to get my butt in the gym! It took me joining a work-sponsored exercise program called The Biggest Winner to jump start my fitness path. That was in Jan. 2016. We got…

About a year and a half. I've lost 50 lbs.

Well, from the back, he looks pretty good, but I'm already married, so I'll say friend zone! :smile:

Sure!

1. I was raised a military brat. My dad was career Air Force and I've lived in lots of great places, including England! 2. I had a cat live to be 18 years old! 3. I hate mushrooms and eggs with a passion!

I too was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in early November. I started on name brand Synthroid on Thanksgiving Day 2016. I do not feel it helped jump start any new weight loss. I have been exercising and watching what I eat for the past year anyways. Slow and steady is winning my weight loss war! My hair had been falling out…

What??????? God, I love football.....NFL, college, high school! :p

Lenoir City, TN!

Just recently hit my 50 lb mark! Hope to keep it off forever!

I have been on MFP since 2007, but have never, until now, got in the community scene and message boards! Feel free to add me as friend. I love encouragement and I love to give encouragement! We're all in this together, right?! :smile:

I work out everyday without eating first. I take a medication as soon as I get up and I cannot eat anything for an hour after taking it anyways, so that works out for me. My fitness coach did encourage me to have a higher protein snack packed in my gym bag to eat as soon as I'm done working out! I'm thinking of doing a…

I'm a little opposite with the years, but still the same story. In March of 2014, I started a new quest for a healthier life. By October, I had lost 50 lbs, but then was side-lined by a torn meniscus and had knee surgery. 2015 sucked for me and I gained back 30 of that 50 poundage. In January of 2016, I joined a…

Glad to help support you!

May I ask what WLS is?

What an inspiration! I too started my quest for improved health through diet and exercise this past January. I'll hit the one year mark on 1/9/17. I've only lost 35 lbs, but I'm much stronger and healthier than I was a year ago. My doctor is hopefully going to take me off 3 of my medications next month too! Keep on keepin'…
