I feel you pain. I have had this problem since I lifted weights for track and field in high school. Yes lane Bryant doesn't work. This is how I shop. I don't even take the cloths into the dressing room to try on. Standing right by the rack I stick my arm into the sleeve and pull it up to my bicep area. If it fits, I buy…

Thank you for this. You made my morning.:laugh:

Thanks going to make some of these today as snacks for the week.

Hi Karen from Surrey, England, I'm Karen from Pennsylvania, US. I can't wait to try this. I hope the treadmill is permitted. It is fridgid here this week. Can't wait till spring.

Welcome Todd, 53 year old lady here. I had the exact same injury you had 3 years ago for my 50th BD. Had the injections and PT and waited forever for it to heal. I could barely walk upright for months. It slowly got better and finally found that biking was the answer. It kept the muscles loose enough while slowly…

NEED THESE RECIPES! RE-STARTING ATKINS TODAY:happy:

Can a mother of the bride join in. My only child got engaged in December and it looks like the date will be 7/23/15, so I have plenty of time to get in shape. My goal is to be comfortable in my own skin and not embaress my daughter .

Great job! I love the last pic of you and your baby girl... I see a very happy mom.

Do you live close enough to invite her to go for a walk with you? This can be a touchy subjects between sisters. I have three sisters myself. I think it would be better to get her involved in activity that would hopefully lead to a healthier lifestyle.

Bump for later...... I'm going to take bf pics so I can post my afters in February!:wink:

When I was 20 mine stopped completely. I ended up going to the women's health clinic because of the sliding scale payment fee also. So basically it was free. It took six months or more for them to get it to start. I had to take birth control pills to kick start my hormones and it has been working fine for the last 30 yrs.…

Me too, Almost 53 and still " Miss Sussy Regular" at 26 days. When I complain though my BFF's just say "think of the alternative", if it didn't show up....yikes, a pregnancy at 53. Just waiting for Mother nature to call my number.

I am not a scholar but I do have a background in Anatomy and physiology as well as nutrition and medical science but have learned more from living life than all the books I've had to read. I can guarantee there are different body types that are genetically inherited. I am just 5'6" muscular, hourglass, large wrist size 7".…

Great story so far. Bump for later.

Pretty close! Female 52 5'6" SW 214 CW 210 GW 165

Sounds great!!! Can't wait till breakfast!!!

Hi everyone, Wanted to join. Will post later. Thanks

Sounds yummy! I'll make them tomorrow.

I am 5'6" and also consider myself large framed. I am a perfect hour glass, with too much time on my hands. (That's what I like to call it. And because I'm 53 i've had a lot of years to see my shape at various weights. Growing up I was never overweight. Fully developed at 13. I was 135. In high school ran track and threw…

LOVE conquers all!

Hi, sounds like a story I could have written. In my 49th year I decided to lose some weight and get fit. So I lost 30+ ponds on Atkins diet and was walking regularly. So on my fiftieth BD everything was going great. 6 months later I hurt my back at work helping my boss clean out the stored records room. I herniated L4 L5…

THIS is exactly why I bring my own in. And use instant the rest of the day. Just need hot water from the water filter. Now who wants to talk about the microwave? Does anybody in your office know how to cover your food???? Don't even get me started. It's disgusting!:grumble:

Exactly, I feel good, strong, healthy and in the mirror I think I look fine. I have good proportion and a decent hourglass shape. But pictures look awful. I throw them out and have almost none of me after the age of 30. Before then I though I was always fat but was actually 60 lbs lighter than I am now. It is clear to me…

I'm not sure what a Surly Cross Check bike is but I will tell you I bought a mountain bike for starters thinking, its sturdy and had fat tires so I'd be okay, but it was hard on my back. So after one month of riding miserably, and some good advice from friends, I learned about comfort bikes, I don't know the technical…

Okay, I joined Monday but my weigh in day is always WED. So.. my SW is 208.8 my GW 199 or less

My official weigh day is Wednesday. And it fluctuates alot. CW 205-210 GW anything under 199 :smile: My Plan: I will follow Atkins diet. Use my eliptical every morning and Wii dance party every afternoon. Good luck everyone!

Hi ladies, I am 52 and had always had irregular periods my whole life. That is until I turned 48 or so then they started to come like clockwork every month. Recently I had a period pop up on me in the middle of my cycle and I thought, yeah it's finally here. So I called the gynecologist I hadn't been to in eight years. I…

I am 5'6" and weight 205 on a good day. I weighed 128 when I was just 13. I was 142 when I got married. That was after a 20 lb weight loss. I hated what I looked like at 142. I was flat chested and had no curves at all. I am fairly muscular and have big hands, wrists and feet. You may want to change your goal as you loose…
