Great! I am currently dealing with an unexpected family member who passed away so it may be next week before I can get the facebook page up and going and get really in to the swing of getting a plan to put on there. But I would so love to have some people who are looking for the same answers I am and a smaller group to…

Hi! I posted another thread about maybe setting up an accountability group -- check it out and let me know what you guys think.

Hi - check out my other post about an accountability group - and let me know what you think!

Hi! Well I was thinking that we could set up a secret group on FB to keep in touch. I have not liked this new format they have for the forums and groups that they upgraded to. I find it difficult to use so that's why I thought Facebook would help keep us in better contact. Here's the - I guess you could say plan I'd like…

Hi! I'm glad to have some responses. Here is the link to the information that I thought was interesting about menopause and the effect on our bodies. http://www.metaboliceffect.com/menopause-weight-loss/ I too cannot cut all carbs, and frankly I don't really think its healthy or a have to - but that I do tend to crave…

And just to clarify - I am not a coach of any kind. So many times when I first started getting actively involved in MFP I would join a group or a challenge and it would turn out to be nothing but a BB Coach trying to promote their business. It was so disappointing. I am just truly looking for some friends to help for…

Great to see some new people here! Ugh - so I go for about 1 1/2 with no period and no symptoms and then boom the last week I woke up soaking wet and of course started yesterday and it is like a dam burst. I so want to be over this! I have a gyn appt in February but honestly he just checks to make sure nothing is wrong but…

Thanks for responding everyone! Sorry I haven't been on. I hate the new MFP for the group threads. It just not as easy to follow anymore. I will try to add you all. I am starting fresh again as of the 5th - then I got that sick/flu stuff and I stayed with the eating plan pretty good - but am just now getting back to the…

Yep that's exactly how I started too. It was very frustrating to me for about two years and then I tried going back on the pill. My blood pressure sky rocketed, not really sure if that's what caused it but my regular doctor suggested I go off because that's the biggest reason she said she doesn't recommend women over 50 be…

Great I'll add you both. Wow I've been probably close to 1500 eating range so maybe that's why I'm not losing. And that's hard for me! I'm only 5'2 so pretty short too.

If you fell in the 1200 - 1499 calories range that means you could eat up to 1499 each day by choosing the higher calorie choices off the food list. It is not designed to eat exactly 1223 calories a day. And you forgot the teaspoons. You get 2 teaspoons of either peanut butter, EV coconut (healthy fats) a day which can add…

I've started 21 day fix and love it. Would love to have more 21 day fix friends - feel free to send me a friend request.

My problem is I am feeling needy. This is the first I've ever been bothered about getting older and some days I need more compassion and loving from him and he actually tells me I'm being needy. I know its not his problem but again, I just thought a partner would be more supportive during a tough time. I'm trying to figure…

Ah very fitting post for me this morning as I just had a "in tears" conversation with my husband on my way to work. He just doesn't get it and has absolutely no compassion or understanding. I had to go off the pill because my blood pressure jumped high and now I'm worried about that, having night sweats and anxiety attacks…

I am so sorry team - I have not been able to keep up with the challenge due to some personal things going on. Sara -- can I be moved to the walker horde so I can still participate but not hold our team back? I am going to try to get back with it this week, but it has been a couple rough last few weeks.

Oh good grief - I completely blew it that yesterday was Saturday. I even worked hard to get my minimums in because my son was in town and my schedule was completely off. His grandma had open heart surgery. He was headed back yesterday to Dallas and I spent the whole day with him and his grandma before I had to take him to…

Intermediate - team Carol Stats so for week Cardio: 210/80 Strength: 65/50 Calories: 7/7 Carol video: completed Punishment: none this week Good start working out again - can't wait to keep it going.

Cardio is a breeze with my zombie run. Really need to work on strength. Stayed on track with my good plan and did the character video this morning. Totals - 210 cardio and 65 strength.

What a good episode! I had goosebumps sitting down to watch. I agree - I wanted Carol and Daryl to share that moment too. I'm not giving up - I think they still might :smile: I'm off to a good start - 80 cardio and 15 strength; I'll be doing the Carol video either tonight or tomorrow morning. We only need to do it once…

Yea - I finally figured out how to get on the board thru my phone. If you haven't already please add me as a friend because it's much easier to see news feeds in my phone in the app and I want to keep up. I'm taking it any cardio/ weight training we do today can count toward our goals? So ready for both the season and the…

Yes - super excited to begin this challenge!

Goals - well mine is to get back to a healthy weight - which unfortunately is now probably closer to about 25 or even 30 lb loss. I want to do it in a healthy manner meaning that I do weight training and cardio so I look toned and healthy, not just skinny. I just turned 50 and I am only 5'2 and am probably close to hitting…

Wow - I am tired just reading this! I am also a huge zombie movie/documentary person. Actually most Sci-Fi or Futuristic shows. I'm originally from Northwest Ohio before settling in here in Missouri. We'll keep you motivated!

Hi I'm Jo and so excited for this to begin (along with the new season!). I did the challenge last time and it was the best challenge I ever did. I chose Carol because I think she is kick *kitten*! I just turned 50 and have lost my mojo somehow and so I'm looking for it again. I believe in feeding my body and working out to…

Intermediate - Carol.

Here's the facebook link. Its very supportive. https://www.facebook.com/groups/574355965957597/ I've been off IIFYM but trying to work my way back into it.

Welcome Torrence - we are neighbors -- feel free to friend request me. I feel your pain. I tried so many different things and my last post about the UNI-Key product. Well nope nothing - didn't make me feel better, didn't make me lose weight. Then I got to reading more on it and it says you MAY have to take it for 3 month…

I definitely want in on this challenge!

I just turned 51. I have had minimal symptoms, mostly bloating, weight gain, irregular periods, moodiness - and the emotional stress of it all is probably my worst symptom. I have hot flashes intermittently but nothing that has been real real bad. I do not like being so sporadic on my periods. I won't have one and then…
