Happy (Bump) Hump Day!!! page 3 ...wow :laugh:

Hello. As for me.... I am moxie, middle aged (50), overweight by 80 lbs, and finally found a good comprehensive online diet aide. MFP. I have done this before, but with notebooks, a pencil, and a paperback calorie book. It works, but a PIA. I was just re-starting my current weight loss regimen, with the notebooks, when I…

You need t talk to your primary care physician and let them know about the itching.

I record it all. Good days and bad days. I also record TOM water weight gains. What's the point of logging if you aren't going to log everything. (?)

I agree with so many here! Talk to your Dr and a nutritionist. Buy a food scale, digital is best. Weigh and measure everything. Be patient.....it took a while to gain, it will take a while to lose. Keep up the good work! Find a good support group...internet or in person. :flowerforyou:

My knees and all of my joints are so much better after getting on my schwinn airdyne stationary bike and actually using it finally! I only bought it back in 06' because, after working in a physical therapy dept at a hospital for 3 years, I KNEW I would be needing it someday soon. Well, those days are here This past year,…

<<<<slides back in<<< Hi ladies!!! I can't seem to keep up!!..so I'll just pop in every so often. :smile: Happy Valentines Day!! :heart: :flowerforyou: :heart:

wow...I didn't read for 2 days..and Bam! the old one was locked and a new one started.

Is she under a Dr's supervision for weightloss? Her primary care physician really needs to be with her on this. There are exercises she can do from a sitting or laying position, but I am not a Dr or physical therapist, so I wouldn't know which ones would be right for her. I wish her the best with this. She can do it.…

Estrogen makes fat cells. Testosterone build muscles. We're all just different. We eat different. Our metabolisms are different. My DH is losing faster than me also, and he isn't even on MFP. He is just eating different then he used to, and not eating as much. Me, I am all for the counting calories and doing the exercise,…

No to the headphones. If you are running with them, you can't be alert to what's going on around you. A distracted person makes a good victim. pay attention to your surroundings. Pay attention to cars, people, cyclists, anything. And you don't have to stop and chat and answer questions just because someone asks you a…

Good Morning ladies!!! Just thought I would pop in and say Hello! I love reading every ones posts. I'm just not much of a poster myself.

I am in pms right now. 2# more on the scale, but at least I know why it's there. I weigh every day, regardless. I log foods daily. The only thing I do different is take 1 day off from exercise, and that is just every Saturday. TOM or not.

I had it for 9 years, and finally did something about it. I worked at a physical therapy Dept in a hospital, and my coworkers showed me how to do this stretch. Gastrocnemius muscle stretch Stand in a wide stance, with the leg to be stretched at the back. Lean forwards against a wall and make sure you keep the back heel…

Would a Schwinn Airdyne bike give the same good results? Strengthening without weight bearing?

yoyo- I measure my dry cereal and log it. Makes it more real when I can see it in black and white.

I am 5'2", almost 51 yrs old and mine started out at 1450 when I had set my weight goal to 145. I lowered it to 135 and it reset my daily caloric intake to 1420. Mine has never changed so far....although I have only been using MFP since Jan 7th. I eat back my exercise calories, and have managed to lose 10# since Jan 7th.

I guess if I was to say I have any goals..they would be to do my daily aerobics on the Schwinn Airdyne. I am up to 26 minutes now. 3 weeks ago, I started at 6 minutes. I was winded then. Also, try to drink my 8 glasses of water. Most days I manage to do that ok. I can stay around my calorie goals for the most part. They…

Wow barbie...y'all are good! :wink: I don't get into this stuff quite that much, but I do enjoy reading how every one is doing. I'm not much of a talker though. I don't even like to use the phone. After dealing with the flu since before Thanksgiving, DH and I decided we could both do for some weightoss. I started looking…

I can't do all those replies to everybody in here :laugh: My memory isn't that good, and the only thing I retain anymore is....WATER!!! :sad:

I noticed I need more calories when I am PMS-ing. I g along with it, rather than starve myself and end up in a binge later. Being aware of my TOM flucuations has helped me deal with my appetite through the month. By the time I PMS for 14 days, TOM for 6, that only leaves 10 days or so of "normal". I might as well weigh the…

Thanks for starting this thread! :flowerforyou: I feel so left out in the younger threads, as I have not much of anything in common with the younger crowd these days.

A big bowl of oatmeal...the long cooking kind. Add rasins. Then have a big green salad for lunch or dinner.

I weigh every day, even with TOM, and PMS. I think it's good to see what kinds of fluctuations happen with the hormones, as I know my breasts are generally the only place I even get water retention. I am also going through peri-menopause, so my scale is all over the place.

Baby steps and reasonable attainable goals. And I refuse to do new years resolutions.

I am 50, and was until recently in alot of pain, joint pain. It hurt to move, to stay still. I knew I needed to move, to incornporate exercise back into my life, but making that personal decision was tough. I had finally had enough. The first week of Jan 13', I got on my Schwinn airdyne bike, and made myself go for 6…

I looked at stormygirl_82's profile. She has a remarkable story. As for the PCOS/pre diabetic...I would suggest learning as much as possible about these conditions. I too am PCOS, and diabetes runs in both sides of my family. I recently started here on MFP, and find it is a great tool for monitoring all of my nutritional…

Hello. I'm Lea, married to my second husband. We have no children living with us. I am edging close to 52, and been doing the peri-menopause thing since 2008. Weight gain/loss is a toughie. I never had any trouble losing weight till now. That is why I am at MFP. It seems to be a really good weightloss tool, as I can see my…

Batesburg, out by Saluda SC here.

Peri-menopause is very frustrating! I have been going through it since 2009, and it is finally settling down now at age 50. I have starting drinking carrot/celery juice, and it seems to give me more energy. I can feel when I need some. I don't do juice fasts though, just drink juice as my snack. I don't do juice daily…
