  • Hiya, in peri menopause myself so I know the struggle. There's definitely a difference between now and 3 years ago. Back then I could go walking and drop 9 lbs no problem. I think if I get to my goal weight and can invent an eating habit that is healthy with space for treats I will be good. Just hope my hips and knees…

  • Hello Breda in Dublin! I am 53, and in USA...but we ladies seem to struggle with similar weight loss issues. I am in peri-menopause...and let me tell you...it changes the rules for weight loss. If I knew in my 40's (the last time I successfully lost the weight), what I know now.....my recommendation would be that...if you…

  • Anytime you get your body moving is a good thing. Your legs are the largest muscles in your body, so working them, even on a stationary bike....is worth something.

  • Losing weight used to be so easy!! Now..not so much. and our current American food culture does not help us out one bit. But if I have a craving...I eat it..and enjoy it. If it is something high calorie/high fat..etc.....Oh well. I document it in here, and go on with my life. We should still have quality of life while…

  • I just turned 53, and it has been quite a struggle since hitting peri-menopause. That in itself changes all of the rules. I joined here in 2013, lost 25 lbs..with lots of effort, exercise, counting calories..and determination. Then I got hurt. I had to stop the exercise...so I just gave up. Fast forward 2015. I tweaked my…

  • Hello ladies!! Well, I made it back from my trip. The worst part was the driving.....Memphis at 5pm rush hour, Birmingham AL at any hour, and going straight through Atlanta. Boy it's good to be back home!!

  • Happy Mothers Day to all! I haven't been able to do anything other than read lately. Due to lack of progress on any weightloss...I have bumped my time up on my Airdyne bike from 31 minutes to 40. I am also hitting the road Monday, driving out west to see my family. That will be a 2 day trip, all sitting, no exercise. I…

  • Maybe that's a new goal for May; "Add 500 steps daily....." "Subtract 500 calories daily..." Now, just to be able to meet in the middle... :laugh: Welcome to the newbies!!

  • Happy May to all of you ladies!! Maybe now, with the spring time and warm sunshine...we can finally feel some kind of motivation! I was just getting so tired of winter. May goals you say? Hmm...I'll be traveling, so my May goals are to take my food scale and my weight scale..and log, log, LOG! :drinker: I purchased a Heart…

  • Hang in there Joyce! :flowerforyou: Plateaus are so frustrating...but one pig out won't destroy all of your efforts. I am on one big plateau myself, but I figure that I am ahead just because I am making myself accountable for every bite I eat...even the splurges. On my planned road trip in May, I fully expect to take…

  • Joyce- I started weighing out our portions just this year. It has made such a difference, the scale is very small, and fits inside my upper cabinet when I am not using it. My husband and myself have both managed to lose 15 pounds so far, since Jan 2013. He isn't on MFP, but I am. I count my calories, measure/weigh both…

  • I am doing that very same thing. Cooking for a man who likes "man food". But I have no problem with the cooking and recipes, I just have to be more creative in feeding him. Plus, he has several food allergies to boot.

  • Thanks for the replies yanniejannie and DeeDee! I looked where you both mentioned, even to the print out version, still am not finding the info. DeeDee, on the feed, it tells me how many days you have logged in, just not myself. I even went to the settings, but didn't find it there. Oh well, I am still learning my way…

  • This may be a dumb question...but in looking over my pages (I use a laptop, not phone apps), I just can't find where it says how many days on MFP! Is that just you counting the days? or am I missing something.... :grumble:

  • Carol- I have been trying the "eat more" idea to my weight loss journey. I also bought a food scale, electronic SAGA from ebay I think. I weight everything possible, even the milk on my cereal. As for exercise, I live in the sticks too. I had invested in a good stationary bike back in 06, but have not needed to use it till…
