Hi Connie, I'm Ann and I live in South Carolina but born and raised in NJ. Struggling with weight issues thanks to Hashimotos Thyroid and menopause:( My husband and I will be going on a cruise to the western Carribean on the 12th of Oct to celebrate our 30th Anniversary:) I don't log everyday, but I never miss a day of…

Doing Rockin Body...and love it...think I'm addicted:)

Aren't you just beautiful! I was so inspired by your words...I'm the same age and am so frustrated now with slow weight loss! I have Hashimoto's thyroid and bursitis in both hips (which I have had multiple cortisone injections for) ..I'm currently doing Shaun T's Rockin Body workout and just love it:) Keep up the great…

I love my fitbit too:)

Y'all are so funny:laugh: I love the comments...yes, like I said it seems a bit 'too good to be true'...thanks...

I too have Hashimitos thyroid plus have nodules that have to be rebiopsied:) Whn I began mfpna dew years ago, I did great ! Lost 30 lbs...then from out of nowhere, I think its called menopause, hit! The weight immediately came back and I cannot lose for the life of me! I'm 55, and do Beachbody Rockin body program with…

Tried to fix some errors made by spell correct but cant delete this so what i intended to say is in my next post lol:tongue:

Would this be something an out of shape 55 yr old can do? Ive been doing Hip Hop Abs and love it! But it seems like most of you doing this are younger and already thin or close to your goal..Would like to try another Shaun T program but something like insanity is too tough on my hips ans knees.

I live just 20 min South of Charlotte (in South Carolina) where we have much lower taxes and less congestion. I'm originally from NJ, so the s l o w pace of the south does take some getting used to and I almost decked a guy who started wheeling my buggy out of Publix:) He wheeled it all the way to my car and unloaded it!…

I think I've found just what I need! Other women in my age group (I'm going to be 55 in July) I have freakin menopausal issues plus Hashimoto's Thyroid. I'VE been so discouraged lately But I just started Hip Ho Abs..:tongue: My goals this month.. Stick to the HHA calendar of workouts...on day 4 now Do at least 10, 000…

Love my Fitbit! Really drives me crazy if I switch clothes or something and forget to transfer it...you really get addicted to it!

I'm 54, dealing with menopause and Hashimotos Thyroid and soon to have a biopsy of an enlarged nodules on the thyroid gland:( I did wonderful on mfp last year, lost almost 30 lbs...then got cocky and stopped logging and backsliding all the way:( so I'm off to a new start, feel fee to friend me and we can encourage each…

I LOVE my fitbit..be sure when the are synced to post you diary and excercise ONLY on the MfP site otherwise you do get mixed messages lol. I only use the Fitnit dashboard to look at steps taken, flights climbed and my sleep pattern. Everything else I post on MFP:) Good luck!

I have a tyroid cindition as well, plus bad hips and shoulder which i also get injections for. I have recently discovered Leslie Sansone dvds. Theyre wonderful for people like us! Its indoor walking that you can do at your own pace from beginner to more active. I actually make myself do it each day now, no matter how I…

LOVE mine! I too feel naked and 'deprived' if I forget it ( thats usually when Im changing clothes and accidentally forget to trandfer it) i always clip it to the center of my bra ratger than using the flimsy clip. Im shocked at how littl sleep I actually get:( but I love seeing my activity numbers grow and it definitely…

Totally Agree! People who wear stuff simply because that's what the fashion pages say and not what looks good on them, usually look like *kitten* lol. Love Gloria Vanderbilt tall jeans fit whether it's 'I'm' or not. But that may be the confidence that comes with age and being comfortable in your own skin ( or jeans:)…

agree

5 years ago we moved out of state so I thought it was a good opportunity to stop dyeing my hair and let the grey come in since I didn't know anyone in my new home area. My husband actually convinced me to try it and now he just LOVES it..what a surprise too that it's actually silver and not a drab grey...when I went back…

I'm 54 and discovered Leslie Sansone DVDs. I like the5 mile walk one because it's broken up to 1 mile increments that I can mix and match. I usually only take off on Sunday morning. I've been doing it over a month, daily, and I'm just now, FINALLy seeing some toning and results in my body. I think as we get older it takes…
