I'm 45 and peri-m as well. I started MFP a few years ago and it worked because I had lost 20 lbs. Now not only have I gained back the 20lbs, but 25 more on top of it! I've tried just about everything I can. I know my biggest issue is getting back into working out. I just don't have any energy when I get home from work. I…

You can add me. StacyB150. I could use some modivation and support also. We can do this!!

You can add me too if you want. I fell off the wagon for 3 weeks and just starte back up again. I'm trying to cut down my portion sizes and I'm lifting weights and doing cardio. I know how frustrating it is, and how easy it is to give up. Don't give up because starting back up again is even harder, and you can't just start…

You can add me. StacyB150. We can all use all the support we can get. But we can do it!!

I'm the same way. My husband and I have big breakfasts' on the weekends, and I normally eat healthy during the week. I will eat my 3 meals and 2 snacks during the weekdays, then I end up eating higher calories on the weekends. But I also try and practice portion control, and I exercise at least 5 to 6 days a week.

Welcome to MFP. I'm 42 yrs old & I've been logging on for a little over 3 1/2 months now. I've lost 20 lbs so far. I had a physical a month ago and the doc lowered my high blood pressure medication. I go back in tomorrow for a follow up. My goal is to get off of it completely. Good luck to you and feel free to add me if…

You look wonderful! You're doing an awesome job!

My overall goal is to loose another 50lbs, but I'm hoping to loose at least 10lbs by May when my daughter graduates high-school. Good luck to you!!!

Yep, all these apply to me too!:laugh:

Non impact exercises. My husband has a bad knee and hip and I have neuropathy and we both use our elliptical. He gets on there and has no pain.

I use an elliptical machine. I tried running, but it was hard on my legs. The it's less impact, and I sweat like no other! I do 30 minutes on that and then 30 minutes between my weight machine, jumping jacks, and sit-up bench.

5'9 started out at 212. Initially started MFP last June. But Nov took it seriously and I'm now down to 201. Short term goal, 190 by May. Long term goal 150. :wink:

Awesome job! Sent a friend request if you want to add me.

You can do it! And don't push yourself to go totally healthy all at once. It is a slow process. Portion control is key! There are a lot of tasty 100 calorie snacks out there. Make sure you pick up something up like that so you don't feel like you're depriving yourself. I sent you a friend request! You can do this!

Thanks for sharing! I am Sooo gonna try that this weekend! :happy:

Whenever you feel like it. During the week I do it at 7:00 in the evening. That's when I have the time. On the weekends its in the early afternoon. Good luck in finding the time that works for you!

Welcome!:smile: Good luck with your weight loss goals!
