How sad! I just looked at my profile and I started MFP when I was 54 - I just turned 56 a couple days ago. It's been way too long since I have been here. Fell off the wagon, bumped my head and lost track of my goals - lol. The bright side - I am about 5 lbs lighter than when I first started....the not so bright...I have…

We did exercise every day on vacation - long distance biking, dune hiking and running. I exercised every day to help "maintain" - because I did partake in ice cream (yummy!!!) and some wine while on vaca. gotta keep it real :love: maybe your little gain is water weight? sometimes changes climates can do that. if you…

Yes, 80/20 - 80% what we eat and drink and 20% from exercise. I think that's why during menopause we can exercise the same amount "we used to" and eat the "same we used to" but don't lose weight (any longer). our bodies now longer "burn off the partying we did last night" :laugh: I was an avid wine drinker until MFP and…

you are doing great! wow! keep in mind it's about YOU :happy: - if you can't find additional time (which can be hard to do) to walk again - ditch your friends :smile: :smile: take ITunes as your "friend" - I find music is such a motivator. yes, eat more protein - it will keep you fuller and help to build muscle. I don't…
