I am new to this group, but not new to weight loss/weightlifting. I was just talking with some old timers at my gym about this exact subject. What they all suggested was when hitting a plateau, is to switch up what you're doing. If you usually lift weights, switch to swimming or spinning or hiking or taking some exercise…

I tried IF and gained 6 pounds.

I hear ya! My cravings always come at night. And of course I don't crave celery! Oh no...it's cookies and cereal and crap! I don't have those things in my house, but it's all there at my parents when I go over to care for my dad. I eat it and then literally HATE myself. Argh!!! I really need help with the cravings.

Aloha! I'm Luana. I'm 47 years old, married for 21 years and a mom to a 17 year old and a 13 year old. I'm back here on MFP after 2 years needing to re-lose 20-30 pounds. I'd LOVE some support!

Yes! I am 47 and have a bunch or hormonal issues and the weight is GLUED to me.

Sadly, I can't stand spin class. It hurts my butt, female parts and knees far too much. Maybe it's the bikes my gym has?? But I've tried everything (gel seats, wearing a maxi pad, moving the seat up/down/forwards/backwards, moving the handlebars, etc, etc). Meanwhile, my hubby LOVES spin class! He hasn't lost much weight…

Yes, it's possible when taking into account your height and weight. As long as you programmed your heart rate monitor accurately with your stats, it should be fairly accurate. For comparison, I am 5'4" and weigh about 135lbs. The last zumba class I took, I burned about 425 calories in the hour long class.

Yoga is great! You should try a beginner Pilates class, too. Similar moves, but a lot of good core work.

POF is fun. It just depends on *you* and what you are really, truly looking for.

For us "older women"...I nominate... *me*. :tongue:

Better than the "in the bathroom mirror with the toilet in the background" pictures.

LOL!!!!! Funny

Hey..that's 2 words. :wink: Yum....

I miss David Tennant. Bring him back!

Sex...

What do I think about older women sleeping with younger men?? (It's awesome. You should try it sometime.) How do I feel about it? (No feelings. Just fun.) :devil:

Nope. Sorry.

Get my butt higher and drop 5% body fat.

I currently weigh 135lbs. When I do 30 mins on a Precor Elliptical Crosstrainer (moderately, not pushing *hardcore*, I can still carry on a conversation somewhat) I burn about 250 calories as per my Polar FT4 HRM. Which is a total bummer because the calories burned display on the Precor says I burned 600 calories. Ugh.…

Again....sex.

Sex...

I actually got the pink one I'm wearing in my profile pic from Old Navy. But I live in Hawaii.... you can basically buy a swimsuit anywhere here! Gas station, side of the road....

LOL! I don't think I can even remember that far back!! I graduated a LOOONNGGGG time ago. But what I DO know... I am MUCH happier with me now than who I (thought I) was then.

Yum! Chocolate covered....anything!

50 Shades is actually quite tame. Go check out a BDSM group or convention sometime.....

Hmmm.... interesting. I've worn high heels at all different weights and never had a problem.

LOL!! Ohhhhh!!!! You mean *that* kind of cream pie....... :devil:

"Get next to yourself, girl!"

I like my pink bikini. And more importantly... I like *me* in my pink bikini! (It has taken me a LONG time to be able to say that, you know?) :happy:
