Look at her profile shot and you can see the difference in her face. Keep it up you are WELL on your way. Congrats. You are an inspiration.

At your weight and height you don't need to lose. While cardio is terrific what will get rid of your belly fat is muscle toning exercises. Lifting arm weight won't get rid of belly fat. I'm 5' 4" and weigh 136, wear a size four and I'm, soon to be, 54 years old. I work hard to stay fit and healthy. I'm on here to lose…

All good points. If you are logging your exercise on MFP they do add back to your "allowed" calorie intake. Great if you want to maintain bad if want to lose.

I'm 53.

Maybe your not eating enough. An 1800 cal a day plan sounds low to me. When I was 155 I was on 1240 a day. 5 fruits and veggies a day, to meals; one for lunch and one for dinner. and a breakfast.

My dietician and I talked about the same thing. I exercise an hour after eating breakfast. I try an eat a higher protien breakfast for fuel. Also exercising in the am setts the "pace" for the day. Boosts all the good things inside form the head to the toes. Off to Exercise now !!!!!!

You are doing yourself an injusctice. you have a dynamic smile. Show it off even more by being stronger than cravings. You posted on MFP which tells us you don't want to binge. Binge on success !!!!

I am so loving you. What an inspiration to all of us. God Bless a healthier you. you look MARVELOUS !!!!!

Just gettting back into it. I'll do it daily please add me. Joni

Hi Eleizabeth. I am just doing a calorie count diet. I find that along with logging my foods helps me. I went to a diet clinic in VA and lost 25 lbs. Now I'm trying to lose just 10 to get back to my fighting weight. I'm 53 with a liver disease and wantto stay as healthy as I can.
