I would agree with the genetics and hormones. I believe hormones change with diet and exercise but I can't say I've seen improvement over the years. If anything it gets worse. This is my experience, sorry!

Wow, you've been through a lot and are obviously a very strong woman! I'm constantly looking for motivation so if you would like to help each other out send me a request!

Good for you for jumping right in! Good luck with your goals!

It's really nice to be able to read these stories and not feel so alone. My hormones have been crazy lately and with thyroid issues I feel like I'm sometimes fighting a losing battle. Thanks ladies for sharing!

Great job!! The more support the better!! Add me if you'd like.

49 and back at it for almost a month now! Down 6 pounds. Love the support from my age group! Feel free to add me so we can help each other out.

20 pounds to go here AGAIN! I really want to keep it off this time. MFP friends are keeping me in line LOL! Feel to add me and I'll pay it forward!

Hello, I became really serious last year January when I quit smoking! I did really well and was probably in the best shape of my life at 48. My boyfriend and I decided to train for our first 5K, during the training I was experiencing hip pain. Thought it was just muscle but ended up being joint. Anyway that stopped my work…

I like Quest. Some people have a problem with the texture though.

Weekends are tough for me also! My diary is open!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You look AMAZING!

Closer to 50, the more friend the better. Sent a request..........anyone else feel free also!

Open!

My diary is open if you would like to take a peek!

Welcome! I just hit my 15th day in a row!!! The great support keeps me in check. Feel free to ad me.

Speechless.........congratulation on all your success!

Yes, it's hard to ignore that number! Feel free to add me.

Hello, I'm 48. Recently returned to MFP with a 20 pound gain :sad: Didn't utilize the community before and would like to give and get support! Any one on this topic please feel free to add me!

Hello, I've just recently come back also because I refused to go up a size! I have been on medication for my thyroid for about 18 years now. While It's definitely medically necessary to get the thyroid regulated it wasn't the miracle I was hoping for either. The pounds didn't go away and I struggled with bouts of fatigue,…

request sent :bigsmile:

Sorry to hear that Maria! It's hard to be successful when loved ones don't support you. We are here for you though!

That is a good idea. I have trip planned in March for some incentive but I'm really looking for a reason not to go to the health club tonight. I know once I go and complete my work out I will feel great but I just can't quite get my brain there yet. Good luck to you also cmendoza13! Welcome Maria!

Definitely trying this sandwich!

What a great idea!

That's a really good goal and realistic. I'm here to support you, feel free to add me!

Visiting New Orleans in March.......can't wait!

Burlington, WI

Couldn't agree more! Wish I would have utilized this community last time I was on.......maybe I wouldn't have gained back some of the weight. Here for support if you need it :smile:

I just came back yesterday after a 20 pound gain. I refuse to buy new clothes.......in the upward direction that is! Feel free to add me.

Here also!
