I am 54 still going through peri menopause or whatever .......have just turned back on ater a very decent 90+ days. Does my body not know hoe old I am, can it just not have a rest.......... Needless to say I am actually on at the moment and feeling quite disgruntled, bloated and well actually fat..... have gained a pound…

Hi I have noticed that when I attempt low carb I see a significant drop and most definitely a loss of the dreaded bloat. I do however find it difficult to sustain but I think that is my general lack of commitment and low will power at the moment. I do however keep on trying.

HI, found you here. Sounds like a good plan to get back into motivation mode

Got to Bump this, there is so much to read and learn!

Losing weight does have a habbit of making your skin look 'craggy' for a while. A few people commented that I was looking too thin in the face ( politely) I usually responded by saying that I had to grow back into my face and give it a little time to catch up with the rest of me haha.:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

What makes it even worse is that I now need a magnifying mirror as well as my glasses in order to be able to spot the little blighters.....haha.......:grumble: :grumble: :grumble: :smile:

I actually use my cycling mitts when I do weights. It actually helped quite a bit as my hands are very soft(weak even) and it meant I could get a better grip, without slipping.

You could maybe try one and see if you like it. I normally find in order to reach my daily allowance I do not need to go low ..... on anything. They also usually have more additives which would be something I would have to think about and it can get quite complicated. If it helps I buy fresh veg for cooking with, use…

:smile: 30Ds is brilliant to see quite a quick difference in both stamina and shape. Sometimes not so quick with the scale as you are working this muscles (aching muscles ) all the time. Are you having a rest day, it does not need to be done in 30 days and it is good to give those aching muscles a rest. Have you taken…

HI, It is fine to go over on your protein. protein and fats are recommended levels you should aim for not maximum. You do not need to stop eating when you have reached your macros and you still have calories left. If you are not happy eating all of your calories burned from exercise then maybe consider eating half as you…

If you wear the jackets that do not fasten you could maybe drape a scarf around your neck and let it hang down to hide the gap. Do not try to fasten the jacket. ?????

You can see a lovely difference. Even if you have not yet gone done a dress size your clothes must look and hang much better on you. It is going in the right direction, you look great!!
-
HI, What you are saying ticks the boxes in my life haha....... I am 53, peri menopausal and am all over the place as it hasn't decided quite what to do with me yet. That change of body shape and feeling very frumpy brought me to MFP last year. I have managed to lose some weight but have been chasing the same few pound for…

I only ever use Basmati and a decent portion at 250g cooked is only 380cals. I would maybe have 150g as a portion. You could always cook some up then portion it out for at least one other meal.

Too late for today, so maybe tomorrow!!

HI, This is the one I am currently working from http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/dumbbell-only-home-or-gym-fullbody-workout.html I don't have a pull up bar so do the dumbell row again on Day 3 (Friday). I am not using very heavy weights but can still see a difference. :happy:

bump, some of these sound fab!

Extra exercise, extra water, extra 2 lbs.....when oh when will it release it and start to go down again. I am close to where I need to be and I know I am thereabouts. I just wish those 2-4lbs would stay off.:ohwell: :smile:

Started 1st June, thought it would be easier tracking. 1 - 3 complete

Eucalyptus oil diluted in water. Spray the ants and along their walk way in. They do not like it at all. It kills those within immediate contact and others sort of go a bit loopy which then I think sends the message out to the others. It may take a few times as they can change their route but I have certainly found it…
-
I want to say yes, but I really do not like burpees, so maybe I should say yes to a true challenge......oh go on then yes........I am in:grumble: :grumble: :grumble: That will be me whilst I am doing them haha.. When do we start?
-
Home made soups, vegetable, lentil, minestrone are great, nutritious and can be quite low cal. Casseroles, chilli, bolognese are all easy to make and can be eaten with pasta, rice, potatoes, cous cous etc. jacket potato with any amount of fillings. A good start for you idea wise i hope?

Maybe give your father in law a little time then perhaps have a chat him with regards to his grandson/your son. Perhaps explain that you do not wish to lie to your son which this feels like. In the meantime you will maybe need to decide what you can say to your son. Sorry for your sad news.
-
Yes to all of the above. It is not easy and a lot of the time it may feel like a waste of time. Apart from the fact that you will be getting healthier by not having those over indulgent days every day and keeping up with the exercise. Try not to be so hard on yourself Took a look at your photos, you look great. having a…

Lovely swimsuit and you show it off very well! Perfect..:smile:

Hi, I have been reading your article and was intrigued as to find out what the answer may be. I am a similar age, slightly different measurements but at 135lbs I still have a 24% body fat. Using the Haybales spreadsheet I would not lose body fat dropping my weight but it would adjust by dropping inches. A 2" loss on hips…

It will be nice to try and make these as there is a big calorie difference to the shop bought packs. Thanks!!

bump.

You could just say once they have finished their rant '' And your point is? ' ' I did once say to a co-worker who always had some comment to make....Look, I like this 'crap' and I would appreciate it if you could just give it a rest. Mind you, I do have a certain dislike of brussel sprouts haha.:smile:

What a lovely difference, you also look so much younger. keep up the good work! :smile: :smile: :smile: My stats are similar to yours so would like to think I can use your pics as a good comparison.
