Welcome! Best of luck on your new phase.

Welcome! Good luck on your journey.

Do you use dumbbells? Do you like working out to music? I'm just trying to figure out who I could recommend...

Have you tried anything on YouTube? I prefer to do different/new workouts rather than the same old dvds forever. There are so many good trainers on YouTube these days...what kind of workouts are you looking for? Tracking calories will be #1 priority for keeping the lbs off.

Welcome! Losing weight can be great relief to the joints!

Welcome to MFP! Good luck on your weightloss journey.

Welcome to MFP! Good luck 😃

Welcome! You've got a great attitude. You can do it!

Have you started logging your food? Take it one day at a time, small changes to start. Don't do so much that you overwhelm yourself.

Hello and welcome to MFP! Good job giving up smoking. I'm sure that was tough. Good luck on your weightloss journey.

Welcome to MFP! Are people really trying to sell you stuff here??? Just ignore them or report. What are your goals?

I'll probably try out the "self respect" practice tonight. Last night I did this https://youtu.be/xHDm1M8EpSQ Nice flow, not too long, not too quick or complicated

I don't understand the part about the raw diet "required lots of exercise" yet you were skinny, and now you are not? If you were too thin and lost your period, but now you aren't, perhaps this is a healthier weight for you.

Welcome to MFP. Do you have a specific question about nutrition? When you log your food, you can see where you are low, on fat, carbs, or protein...and then work on adding those in and cutting back on those that are over.

Slow and steady. Don't expect 4lbs every week, just stay the course. Good luck on your journey!

Welcome!

You can do it!

Welcome. Good luck on your journey.

Welcome! I've had a lot of success here. I wish the same for you.

Welcome! Good luck on your journey!

Salad, veggies, lean protein. That's what I start with. Add in extras from there. I usually have sliced apple with some protein (bar or kay's naturals) for afternoon snack.

I stuck with Adriene today. This is a short one. https://youtu.be/ImbOWj-pWuM

This one's not bad, just sun salutations A and B https://youtu.be/JeepwcHgBJ8

Your calorie intake sounds low. Did you use the MFP guide to set up your goals? How much did you want to lose per week?

Hello MB! Welcome to MFP. I wish you much success.

@Betty Any help with this?

I dislike blanket statements if you're gaining weight because you're over 35, or 50, or whatever age, because reality is that it comes down to calories. And you totally have control over what you put in your body. If you'd like some more information about losing weight over 50 and incorporating moderate exercise, look up…

Ice cream? My mom helped me gain weight by replacing milk with cream(or mixing the two) veggies cooked in cream of chicken soup, protein powder milkshakes, etc. Wherever you can add in a fat(butter, oil, nuts, seeds, cheese) or choose a higher calorie option(chicken thigh instead of breast, whole milk, not skim etc)

I'm not really looking forward to living to 125, but I would like to stay healthy as I age and also not got broke! Take care of your self!
