I don't know about the hybrid, but I love my elliptical! Just don't panic if you can't do more than 5 minutes at first, it takes a bit to work up to 30 min or so, but it's a great workout! I used to have a stationary bike but it was uncomfortable on my tailbone after 10 min, lol..Good luck!

I know.. I hate those stupid farm requests! Don't adults have anything better to do? This is the first site I check in the morning:) all of the posts are so encouraging:) Gets my day off to a great start!

Hi! Feel free to friend me, I too am in my 50s and am trying to lose 50 aswell. I joined last January and have lost 30 lbs so far:) it's frustratingly slow, but I think my thyroid and menopause have a lot to do with it. But I'm trying to hang in there and fo the right things. I'm under my calorie goal most days and I…

I'm 52 going on 25:) welcome, it's a little slower for those of us over the big 50, but have patience, it will happen. There is all kinds of support here, from all over the world, young, old, male and female. Welcome again and feel free to add me as a friend!:happy:

I too have Hashimoto's...was diagnosed about 20 years ago. the key is to find a good endocrinologist! It took me YEARS of different doses until they finally regulated it, and then I found MFP and my new endocrinoligist (who I love:) was shocked that I was able to lose the weight. Losing 30 lbs for us is like someone else…

I absolutely love historical romances! One of the best series I ever read was the Series about the beginnings of our wonderful country..by John Jakes, the first book is The *kitten*. It follows one family line from a *kitten* birth in England to his part in the beginnings of the American revolution. The family series…

I have Hashimotos thyroid which means that my thyroid is totally non functioning. For 20 years I have been so frustrated with the inability to lose weight. But then I discovered MFP last year and it's been awesome! I found that logging every morsel and 30 min of daily exercise does work! It's much slower than most average…

My Husband Scott, we live in SC, used to ride a 10th anniversary limited edition Honda 750 for 25 years, but he just bought a new Kawasaki Vulcan 900. And now that Ive lost weight, I ride with him again:)

I'm on the exact same course:) friend me if you like...

Wow! Are you sure that's you? lol...I think I'd have a button made of my before pic and wear it everywhere I go so you could inspire people! Looking foward to seeing you on the next People mag cover of biggest losers:)...Congrats! You're beautiful and such an inspiration on the 'down' days for the rest of us...

First thing in the a.m. after going to the bathroom, and naked:) You're weight can vary throughout the day, depending on water and salt intake..etc.

You'll have the last laugh when you stay strong and reach your goal:)

You're looking beautiful girl! Keep up the good work...congratulations!

I started Reservatol a supplement I picked up at Sam's because it was recommended by Tv's Dr. Oz as an overall immune booster,.he says it's the one thing we all need daily, and OMG! Talk about regular! Maybe that would help. Good luck.

Congratulations, you took the first step! I would recommend reading lots of the success stories here, they are so motvating when you think you just can't do it. A year from now ( probably less ) it will be a whole new you! Good luck.

Well I can see the pics and listen up little lady...you definitely can see the difference! Especially around your face and arms! You are doing wonderful.. I wish you a wonderful Christmas and an even more 'successful' New Year.! Keep up the good work.:flowerforyou:

Wow!I feel so much better..I've been getting so frustrated trying to lose the last 15 lbs! The first 30 was so much easier.that's what's great about MFP, we get to see that everyone else shares the same struggle regardless of the amount of weight you have to Lise. So now Im just going to hang in there and know if I keep…

You definitely can tell the difference! Keep up the good work. Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

Don't you look woderful:)

You look awesome! Can't wait til I can take a swimsuit shot without someone standing in front of me:) we're also practically neighbors...I live in the 'country' limits of Rock Hill.

Wow! I can't believe there's so many others out there with the same problem... I live in Sunny South Carolina and I can't wear enough layers lately:) I'm going to try an iron supplement too!

This is aweseome! I don't know about the calorie count....You could make substitutions, like buy the canned yams instead of cooking them, and perhaps egg beaters instead of eggs....etc. but I always get RAVES over this:) 6 medium size sweet potatoes 1/2 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp Vanilla 1/3 cup milk 1/2 cup butter or…

I too have the same problem. Hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's disease) plus I also had my gallbladder removed about 20 years ago. I had struggled with my weight all these years. Was eating less and less, gaining more and more. It wasn't until I found MFP in January that I ever was able to lose any weight! I've learned YOU NEED…

I would love to join! How? I mean is there a link or do you add me to a list? I'm stalled at a 30 lb loss and need to shake these things up:) Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Nutrition Facts For Foods

I too am known for my holiday baking...I am simply going to adjust my old recipes to my new way of eating. For example, for Easter, I made an awesome cheesecake, by substituting splenda for sugar, low fat/fat free cream cheeses and low fat/fat free sour cream...No one was the wiser:) If you use only the low fat versions,…

Let's see...been at this since jan and have s l o w l y lost 29 lbs:tongue: I had moved out of state shortly before I started and all along my journey, there was no one (other than my husband) to encourage me or tell me he could see the difference i couldn't. Anyway, we made a trip back to our old home in NJ , visiting…

Get out!!! Are you sure that's the same girl:) You look amazing..congrats! :flowerforyou:

I had the same problem. Could not get past 26 lbs for the longest time (wasn't gaining, but didn't lose either!) So I took my measurements (husband's idea too, hmmm guys must be into the tape measure or something:) any way 5 inches from my waist!! and my clothes definitely feel like I lost more than the scale shows. I did…

Wow! You look wonderful! keep up the good work...It's so frustrating I'm sure not to see it yourself, just keep in mind, you see yourself everyday and those around you see you on a daily basis so it's much harder to notice. Take out some of the old pics when you were heavier and put it side by side of you now, you'll feel…
