hi there. Why not log them like you would Pilates or yoga.or as stretches. I tried the Tupler technique and I did see a difference, but I also have POP and after a few weeks was worried that it was having an impact. I do front crawl in the pool and water walking plus general walking too. I also use the Walking Fit book. My…

Me too. With elderly sick parents and college going kids, feeling a bit squeezed. not to mention menopause weight!

I am around 4' 10" myself and struggle with all of that too. Bigger in the tummy so saggy added at the back! I find that petite clothes don't take any decent bust size into consideration. And as for dresses- the waist line is always at my hips, so it never looks right. I use iron on "wonda web" for my jeans.

Everybody, please, please check out Mutu today. For the entire Sunday there is a sale on the online programmes. The code is WENDY43 I am part of a closed facebook DR group and they all swear by this. There is 43% off the online programmes because Wendy;s 43rd Birthday is today. Tupler does work, but it is very intensive…

Hi, Unfortunately I am a medium size or I wold buy yours. I am very interested in the Gabrialla binder because I have the same problem. My splint bunches up a bit. It all goes high and my lower belly is regularly left without support. Does this really work to keep it in place? And are you extra hot? What with a camisole…

Can I please join the group? I really need this group. I have had mine I reckon for the last 20 years, since shortly after having my first child, when I did all the wrong things to improve my belly. I can fit 10 fingers into mine so you can imagine what its like! I have just finished my first week of the Tupler Technique (…

I started four weeks ago and have lost 9 lb so far. Patrick Holford's books are the best to explain this. You need to eat small amounts of good quality carbs though, like brown rice and savory rough oatcakes, and good quality lean protein, lots of green veg and two small portions of fruit a day. The fruit needs to be eaten…

I am staring 52 in the fact! It is definitely harder to lose it at this age. I am finding Patrick Holford's low GL healthy eating plan incredibly good though. You eat good quality but small amounts of carbohydrate and protein 5 to 6 times a day with lots of veg and a little fruit. I am really increasing the kinds of food I…

My sister and I both have it too. Mine is there a long time but I didn't know what it was, just thought I was fat and had stretched muscles. So,like all of you, I have been exercising completely wrongly and making to worse! Its a really bad one, so I am going to a Tupler Technique therapist soon and plan to start the…

I use scenar treatments, acupuncture, and sacro cranial osteopathy, depending on which I think is most suitable or if one doesnt help, I will try another. Its great for trapped nerves, muscle cramps, sore backs. The scenar treatment was the only one that helped my headaches and my cocyxx pain (caused by all the stitching…

Well done. That is so inspiring.

Yes, it does get easier. First of all though, you have to work on the plantar fasciitis. I had it and it is impossible to exercise with it. Go onto Brent Abel's website (he is a tennis pro and instructor and had it himself). I had it for a year until I downloaded his programme and followed it exactly. It is a really…

She sounds like she has a strange form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. She seems terrified of germs on plates and things but not on chopping boards. It sounds like she needs some plain speaking and some consequences. Right now you have to be cruel to be kind. Eventually you will move on and if this is not tackled now,…

That is certainly an idea. I used to swim a lot but the membership was so expensive! There is a public pool near where I work so I might be able to go there schedule permitting. :smile:

Thank you hon, I appreciate your support.:flowerforyou:

Thank you so much. I am always looking for low calorie tortillas and they are usually so high! I plan to try these with spelt flour.

Congratulations! Superb progress. Well done for putting it out there to inspire others. What a great story to tell your child too. By the time that baby is running around, you will already be full of energy and will really get to enjoy your life and baby to the fullest.

I turned 50 this year and agree that it takes time to lose the weight and is much easier to gain back at this age. It does work though. MFP really helps by retraining you to really look at what you are eating. And the support of friends really makes a difference. After a while it becomes second nature to scan the barcode…

Seriously, take it down several notches! You do have to ease into this slowly or you will either injure yourself of give up! Do some research on line about starting from zero. Buy the book called Walking Fit and start walking. Remember to stretch first. I caused myself an injury when I started exercising after a period of…

You look wonderful and seem like a great. inspirational person. Well done on achieving your dream.

:happy: :laugh: :happy: :laugh: :happy: :laugh: :happy: :laugh: :happy: :laugh: :happy: :laugh: :happy: :laugh: Super happy for you.

Wow, it sounds like you are doing quite a bit already with one hours walking five days a week! There is a great book called Walking Fit, which helps you to get much more out of your walk. check it out and see what you think. I have found it very helpful. Also I find it helps me to think, well I only need to do 10 minutes.…

Now THAT is so cool! I am so happy for you and admire you so much!

That is a wonderful success story. You look fantastic and must be so proud of yourself! I have done six months and am nearly at my own goal. The nearer it gets, the harder it gets, but I am working on it.

It is great to have friends your own age! You just invite anybody you like to be your friend, or if someone invites you, just click accept. I look forward to us being friends. Turned 50 seven months ago and joined MFP last June after I got my first smartphone!

That is a great goal Rose. You can do it, even being sedentary. it is harder I agree, but logging every day helps so much! Maybe you can do some sitting exercises? I know that there are ways for you to get a little exercise in, even if you have to do it sitting down. Your doc should have some advice for you on this, My mum…

Happy Birthday Sherry. You look fantastic. I also have just a few pounds to go, but I don''t think it ends there! I have lost weight before and put it back on too!!! This time the logging and friends is a fantastic help and I so happy I found MFP. Health and nutrition rocks. Tina

I turned 50 this year and I agree that at our age, we sometimes need a different approach from all the younger ones, who are able to really go for it at the gym. I think our losses are harder won because that middle aged spread thing isn't a myth unfortunately! Still though, it is doable but we all need help and support.…

Get more Sleep and declutter my drawers!!! Oh, and try to exercise a little more.

Sounds like plantar fasciitis. I had it and it is really painful. I went onto Brent Abel's website. He is professional tennis player and tutor and he had it really bad and thought he would have to give up. He got given some great advice by another pro and went on to develop a set of exercises that really work and cured me.…
