thanks everyone for the replies. i usually get on the treadmill. so i think i will combine the two and see what happens. thanks again for the helpful information.

Starting Weight: I'm in Goal Weight: 3/17:180 3/24: 3/31: 4/7: 4/14:172 4/21: 4/28: 5/5: 5/12: 164 5/19: 5/26: 6/2: 6/9: 156

maybe we should start our own support group for menopausal women on mfp.......lol

O.K. I have all of my fruit and veggies done for today. Working on the water. Finished the exercise ....but I am thinking about doing more. As for the next challenge 3500 a week sounds like a lot. that is 500 a day and I know I am not up to that just yet. I just stared working out again after 6 months of not doing anything…

I saw you responded to Michelle and I thought I would reply to yours as well. I am in the same boat also. So if you want added support please add me to your friends list :) I need to lose this weight once and for all and could use all the support I can get!!

HI Michelle, I just started my fitness pal for the second time. The first time some things came up and I was unable to stick with it. But I am very committed this time. I would love to be a friend, I could use the extra support and I am willing to give all the support you need.
