  • Lots of people need b12 supplementation. Especially important if you're vegan.

  • I started going to a boxing gym at 46, and I love it! I wasn’t sure if I wanted to fight, but after 6 months (pre covid), I think I do! Apparently “masters” women’s boxing is the fastest growing amateur category in the US!

  • I’ve done yoga most of my life. When I hit 40, I started focusing on muscle strength, and was overjoyed to realize that I had significant endurance and strength from yoga. I now also lift and box. Weekly yoga helps counteract muscle soreness and the flexibility losses that can come with strength training. And the strength…

  • ! P.S. My son is now a senior in college and we're probably on the same level as it pertains to shape which brings me joy and self gratification! LOL [/quote] I love this! I’m 47 and started boxing Classes about a year ago. I’ve been lifting since I’ve been home, and both of my teenagers comment with awe at how “buff” I…

  • What a great thread! I just got back into MyFitnessPal because I'm trying to build more muscle and get a bit of fat back on after a stress-related loss. I decided to start taking part in the community, and I'm so glad!

  • If you can find bulk spices (hard in the time of COVID), get a little bit of smoked paprika, some sweet paprika, and anything that smells/sounds good to you. If you have to buy full bottles, just pick 2. The start up costs for forks over knives, engine2, or Clean Food Dirty Girl (my fave) are higher, but expenses go way…
    in Doctor wants me to try low fat plant based diet. Very difficult, need resources. Comment by stuffyknee July 2020
  • New to the boards. I am vegetarian, and aim for Whole Food Plant Based eating. My favorite website is Clean Food Dirty Girl. I also look to Minimalist Baker, Forks Over Knives, and Oh She Glows.

  • I eat mostly Whole Food Plant Based, and I avoid stuff like Beyond Burger. Avoid, but occasionally use. Avoiding heavily processed foods has been a great thing for me. Instead of oils, for example, I use tahini, nut-based dressings, etc. This gives me more fiber and protein with my fat and keeps me satiated. In my…

  • Hi! 47, divorcing, mother of 2, stronger than ever. I went from slim to too-skinny over the course of the breakup and am building muscle and gaining back the weight with lifting and boxing. Trying to get over exercise-induced asthma so I can compete, and to get a layer of fat back over my tailbone so I can do situps…

  • I don't know where to go for help, but this seems like a decent spot :) I'm a 118 pound woman, 5'3.5" in my 40s. Stress dropped me to 105 about 18 months ago, and I rebuilt through 2400 calories a day--vegetarian leaning vegan--and boxing. With COVID-19 I've been lifting at home and running. I find it harder to eat enough…
