I excercise with a trainer at the gym 4x week. I also try to add small bits of movement throughout the rest of the week, maybe running a bit, or taking the dog for a nice long walk. I had to stop excercising for 2 weeks due to a medical issue, and in those 2 weeks, I felt sluggish and irritable. I am now back to my regular…

Check out the book "The Eat Clean Diet Stripped" by Tosca Reno. Great ideas for losing those last pesky pounds!!!

I'm 50....feel free to add me!!:smile:

You truly are an inspiration!! It takes courage and determination to do all that you have done!! Good for you!!

I just turned 50, and yes, it is harder as you get older. I could drop pounds like nothing in my teens, 20's and even 30's. However, now I find that I have to work even more to get the scale to move downwards. I have been working out 4 times a week and eating very clean and healthy. The weight is coming off, but it is slow.

Hilarious!:laugh:

Hello, I am new here!!! I live in southwestern Ontario, Canada and have been a member of MFP for all of 10 days! I am enjoying the support that this site offers! My goal this month is to get more running in....I have signed up for a 1/2 Marathon in October ( I am a new runner! ) and I want to get more organized with…

I love the messages and support that I have received from new friends I have found on this site, it makes such a difference! Any encouragement that you can get or give is a…

I usually do the same thing. I found that if I made a wrong food choice at one meal, I might as well forget being good for the whole day. If it happened on a Thursday....I couldn't start being good until Monday...you know the pattern!!! After I had lost some weight, I started to feel over confident with my choices of food…

You need to look after yourself mentally....then the physical stuff will happen. Surround yourself with positive people, you would be surprised how much better that can make you feel. Walk, walk, walk....and when walking is getting really easy, start running a bit. The endorphins that you get from excercise are going to…

I have a protein smoothie....almond milk, 1/2 frozen banana, 6 oz. frozen berries, 1 scoop whey protein powder, 2 tbsp flaxseed! This is delicious....and good after a workout!

chunk light tuna (water packed) with tbsp of olive oil & tbsp of balsamic vinegarette....add a bit of pepper...and voila...a delicious, healthy lunch to go!

I have been working out with a trainer for the last 2 months, 4x weekly. He has "kicked my butt" so to speak. He has made me realize that I am capable of doing more than I thought I was able to. If I were working out on my own, I would have given up too easily!!! In the last 2 months, I have lost 15 lbs and 24 inches!!! I…

Thanks!!! And actually it is the Blue Mountain Half Marathon. I appreciate the advice!!

New running outfit.....bright pink!!! Why not add the matching shoes as well!!!

avocados....you`d think as a vegetable, they would be great....NOPE...quite high in calories!

I use 16 oz. almond milk, 1 scoop of whey protein powder, 6 oz frozen mixed berries, half banana, 2 tbsp flaxseed powder. Absolutely delicious....about 320 calories!!!

I find it really difficult to accept the fact that my metabolism has slowed down!! I crash dieted most of my adult life, and of course, the weight came off very easily in my younger years. Now, it is a whole different story. I'm trying to concentrate on fueling my body with healthy food, in healthy portions, and I've…

Wow! That is inspiration!! Thanks for the pics!

Hi!!! I turn 50 next month! Feel free to add me....I just started yesterday.:smile:
