I am going through an earlier menopause then most. Possibly excellerated by having my tubes tied or so the doc says. Anyway, I get the hotflashes day and night and a co-worker gave me great advice that works for me. Instead of uncovering your entire body just expose the small of your back. Hubby will even put cool pack on…

I am new to MFP but definately NOT new to the diet game. In the past I have set my sights only on dieting until I got skinny then I would get on with life (or so I thought). This time however I have decided to find something that I could meld into my lifestyle and do for the rest of my life. I work all shifts including 3rd…

I use white beans instead of garbanzo beans for my hummus and also found a recipe for peanut butter hummus for a twist to it.

I too am new to MFP, am also in my 40s and am an emotional eater so we have allot in common. This site will help me stay accountable and also offers allot of support and wisdom. Feel free to add me:wink:

I too am trying to stay away from meat. My favorites are: lugumes(rice and beans or homemade hummus), tofu(I cube it soak it in Bragg's liquid aminos and sprinkle with nutritional yeast before I sautee it in olive oil) and nonfat plan greek yogurt(I get the chobani brand and put some in my bowl of oatmeal to make it…

Try eating more veggies and drinking more water. Veggies fill you up without costing allot on calories etc. Assess where you are using your calories, fat, carbs, proteins etc. and find alternatives that are less calorie costly and more filling.

I scrolled through and the only people close to my height and weight are men now that is discouraging! Age:46 Height:6'1' Weight: 295 Goal: 210-220

Feel free to add me as well. Although I did not have such a tramatic ordeal when I had my son 5 years ago I did go through a c-section and at the time I was over 150lbs over weight and over 40 years old. I also just recently joined MFP having tried to do it on my own. Good Luck!

I dated a guy that was 4 inches shorter than me and hated it. I dated a guy the same height as me, it was not that bad. Part of the issue for me isn't just height it is the fact that besides being tall I am built like a football player. My first husband is 6'3 and my current husband is 6'6 280lbs. I feel more secure and…

Amazing weight loss Celeigh!

My husband is 6'6 and I am 6'1 our 5 year old is already over 4ft tall. I am anxious to see how tall he ends up being:noway:

Any of you tall people have children that are taller than the norm?

I love almost all veggies raw with the exception of onions. I make my own homemade hummus with whitebeans instead of chicpeas and eat it on the raw veggies.

I have tried them and didn't notice any significant change as far as losing weight. The things I did notice were spicey burps(burping up the cayenne) and a burning when I had a bowel movement from the cayenne in my system.

I am a 911/sheriffs dispatcher in MT.

Hi Tammy! We have allot in common starting with last names (assuming Strickland is your last name?) I have battled with my weight most of my life as well. I have tried tons of diets. I just joined myfitnesspal on Wed of this week. The most recent program I was on was weight watchers. It really worked for me but I couldn't…
