I think I have tried every gimmick in the book! Don't feel bad about starting over and how long it has taken. It has taken me a lifetime to get here. I am so thru with the latest diet book, craze, pill, drink, gimmick. I only want a plan I can live with for the rest of my life. I have found one with MFP and it's FREE. Dang…

Pool exercises :)

I agree with the statement about empty calories. Don't be hard on yourself it is a learning experience for all of us. Find out what works for you and your body. I need to have protein every few hours or my body starts craving carbs and sugar. I like to keep ground peanuts and raw almonds around for emergencies.

Me too, Love it. Recipe sounds delish, thanks for sharing!

And a beautiful face it is too! Nice work :))

Not only possible but a MUST DO!

These look delicious. Love ideas to help me through my baking need on week ends. Thanks!

My body still cycles. Chocolate/Carb cravings and I swear my hot flashes at night seem to cycle, worse at some times, tolerable at others. Mood swings.... well they come and go depending on my stress level and weather I'm getting enough sleep due to night sweats. When I realize I'm having one of these "Cycles" (I like to…

First let me say thanks for starting this thread and I LOVE the name of the group. My name is Kris or "Uny" to my MFP friends or "Unhinge" to those who have suffered through menopause with me. I just had my 55th birthday and I feel soooo much better this year than I have for the past several. Menopause was not good for me.…

You look MARVELOUS!

Wow! Good grief Charlie Brown, this sure puts things into perspective! Great post.

bum pity, bump, bump

Too funny! Love it! I have to feel my waist. Much less of it. Can't stop looking in the mirror and running my hand down my side. LOL

Incredible! You look awesome!

Welcome back. Feel free to add me if you want. Best of luck.

LMAO, I wish!

Magnificent nsv! Nope, still hate to exercise, just can't stand to miss it! I feel sooooooooo much better mentally and physically and I feel younger than I did without regular exercise. I have made it a goal to workout 6 days a week. Last week I made my goal! Oh, a nsv! LOL Feel better soon.

Congratulations! I can't wait for a response like that :))

Start my morning with a tall glass of water, then coffee- black. I like Chi Green Tea any brand HOT, HOT, HOT! Gives me energy, all day long, starting about 10:00 a.m. till evening when I drink "Sleepy Time" or "Tension Tamer", helps me sleep. I like to make sun tea during the summer that we drink it by the gallon. I add…

Sounds like a NW spring day. I went out early for my walk in the rain and wind and this afternoon has been all sunshine while I'm stuck inside working.

Bump :)

It is never too late to change your life.

How about some wraps?

You are not alone and are at the right place. You ROCK girl!

I blame this book for changing my life!

Agree, you either like it or you don't. I LOVE it! I make mine in the microwave with 3/4 water and some frozen blueberries and add about 1/2 cup low fat milk after it's cooked. I also like to add applesauce and cinnamon and maybe some nuts. Keeps me going strong till lunch time. Good Luck!

Welcome! Monday is a great day to start :) Feel free to friend me.

Just starting, GULP, my senior years, or midlife as I like to call it and my goal is to be active, mobile, and flexible into my 90's and beyond! I do not want to be setting around decaying :(

I make chocolate instant sugar free pudding with low fat milk for an evening snack and have not had the sweet cravings or chocolate cravings I have suffered on other "diet" plans. I am also exercising much more, maybe that is helping.
