Bump

50 in december , feel free to add me. Doing ok but this really is something I must do for life.

I'm 50 in December. A girl can't have too many friends so anyone can add me :smile:

I turn 50 in December and joined Mfp almost one year go and have lost 45kg, about 99 pounds :). Still find it amazing and love the health benefits. Anyone can add me. I've met some great people on Mfp ....

I'm from Melbourne , feel free to add me :)

I'm getting close to maintenance so it is helpful to read others experiences. Thanks. I downloaded a free phone app called happy scales a while ago. It takes the fluctuations out of logged weights and gives you the trend. It's another bit of data that I find helpful but then I am a real numbers type of person :/

Great plan. Weigh in and do measurements, body fat too if you can. You have your true starting point then. I didn't do either. I avoided the scales and guessed my starting weight for Mfp. I know I was heavier at one point as I tried weight watchers then and that weigh in was the highest and most depressing ever. Just do it…

Happy 30th birthday. You look great!

Thanks for posting your story. Your tips are fantastic. Congratulations!

I love my fitbit for the data it gives me but following the calories left to eat during the day is too much of a moving target for me. I keep track of my 30 day averge tdee (in your profile) and keep an eye on my weekly and two weekly daily average calories in and out. If I feel good eating at my recent averages I just…

Bump, thanks. I have definitely got to try these. Love chobani Greek yoghurt and might try subbing a little trutein Cinnabon protein power for a little flour. Not sure if it would work.

Oh wow..........so amazing. Congratulations

Hey :smile: I'm 49 and have been logging here for almost a year. I look a lot different now :happy: I'm a tad under 5'9" , prob 5'8.5" but I really should measure my height again soon. Some people find it changes after significant weight loss, probably better posture helps. Anyway feel free to add me, always great to gave…

Absolutely wonderful Shannon! Congratulations. Love the photo bombing goat *vbg*

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely be ordering that :love:

I run. It really clears my head and gives me time for myself. I stress about my kids, especially my 17yo aspergers lad. If I didn't run I would be fighting the urge to be a helicopter parent and that just passes the stress on.

Melbourne gal, would be great to add more Aussie friends :)

Bump, gotta try these thanks

You can never have too many friends :). I'm 49 and coming up to 1 year of logging on Mfp. I love to run (never thought I'd say that). Add me if you have room for another friend :)

http://www.haloheadphones.com These are great for running and lying around. I can fall asleep listening to music and its no problem. I got the sports headband cause I sweat a lot. I normally run with one ear slightly uncovered so I can hear road noise.

Well done you! I also credit c25k with my evolution as a runner :)

THAT is great news :). I have all my runs and fitness walks imported to runkeeper from my phone app ismoothrun. I'll try to be patient but it will be tough....lol

I'm doing jillian michaels 30 day shred DVD program. I haven't lost weight but the measurements are really moving. It is on youtube so you might try it out. Search the forums for other people's results - it's very popular which I never really understood until I tried it.

Level 2 day 3 just finished. I'm ok with the cardio and abs but my upper body strength is really lacking. The push-ups in level 1 and planks in level 2 are really hitting that. I'm improving each day which keeps me pressing the play button. I've been running a lot before starting the shred. I expected running to have…

I'm on Level 2 Day 2 next. I was running 5km each day before the shred but I was finding it tough going after a week or so. I dont want to stop running so I may take a break here and there to focus on a long run. I havent lost any weight but my body is changing so I am happy. Level 2 is a challenge but that is what it is…

Day 8 done and dusted. I'm improving each time thank goodness. Still doing wimpy push-ups but meh.....I'm doing them. My weight has stayed the same. I checked past forum posts and it looks like a lot of people don't lose weight but inches. I'd really like both :) .....but will settle for inches....please!

Level 1 Day 6 and a 5 km run done after work. It was hard work today. I might need a day off over the weekend but I'll take it one day at a time for now and see how I feel

Pizza always makes my scales climb the day after eating it. The high sodium is the culprit. Give it a few days and drink lots of water and you'll be back in onederland in no time. Also, try not to let the scales rule your life and emotions too much. I know its hard, just keep on sticking to your plan and trust the process.

The smallest I have is 3kg. They are too heavy to complete the overhead squats and side lunges. Each day I am progressing further though. I changed to 4 kg for the chest fly on day 4. I am going to pick up some 2kg DBS in the next couple of days. I peeked at more jillian DVDs on youtube and think I will get the use out of…

Day 5 for me today. I start with a 5km run outside then do the DVD. Pushps are hard but I am aiming to make progress however small, every day. I started by doing the full push-up on an incline against the kitchen bench.
