I think that's the worst thing - having to try all different things to see if anything will actually work! It just no longer seems to be as simple as calories in vs calories out anymore! I don't understand it and I can't explain it, but I know it seems to be what happens. I try lowering cals, that doesnt work, I try upping…

It really is so depressing to be doing everything "right" and not see the scale reflect that - or WORSE - what just happened to me these last 3 days - the scale is going UP despite me doing everything right!! Ugh. Times like these you really want to give up, but I am hanging in there!

Let us know if the Dr has anything useful to say. I went about a year ago and they said everything was good. Is anyone taking any hormone replacements? Let us know how yoga goes too if you try it! I feel too impatient and too busy to do yoga! But I wish I could!

Wow you have really made some huge changes Jaxxy! At least you have seen success for your efforts! Congrats on losing 20lbs!

Hi Luluke7767! I'll send a friend request but I do hope this forum will pick up! What is early menopause? I don't even know when is average but I'm 47 and I'm pretty sure symptoms have started for me - most annoying thing so far is unpredictable cycles. I want to hear what everyone is trying - and what is working and what…
-
I'll send you a friend request either way because it took over 2 weeks for anyone to reply - so I'm not sure we can revive it but I'm game if you are organic_homestead :)

Please add me as a friend too! I lost 45lbs and thought I knew what it took to lose weight. Life interupted and I put it all back. Been trying since start of 2015 to lose it and more, to no avail. My body just doesnt seem to respond anymore to low calories!! Im so lost. Not quite 50 but desperately need some friends who…
-
I'm not quite 50, but I really need more friends who are all too familiar with the struggle of eating well and still not losing, because that appears to have become the bane of my existence these days. I lost 45lbs just by calorie counting before I got pregnant in 2011. Since the start of 2015 I've been trying to get back…
-
I wish this group was more active - so nice to read all of these posts and see I am not alone - but I have to wonder what the key is to actually lose weight at this time?? I'm beyond frustrated right now.
-
Yes, that's true too! Some people say fitbits make you gain weight - because they tell you that you have burned x number of calories, so if you eat those calories back, you will be in trouble if it has over-estimated. I try to never eat all of my exercise calories back just in case - there's always a margin or error I…
-
I think everyone and every situation is different, but I want to say yes. Sometimes when I eat more I lose weight. Sometimes when I exercise I gain. As long as it all adds up to a downward trend that is the main thing. Are you eating back all of your exercise calories? If you are that might make a very big difference as to…

Congrats on your success Katie! Way to go!

nicfitnesszone - here is the link to the plan! http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/the-30-day-walking-challenge/ There is also a group for it already here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/104933-myfitnesspal-30-day-walking-challenge

I'm game to try. Do you have fitbit? Can u link to the actual plan? Thanks!
-
Holy cheekbones! But you are clearly beautiful in both pics!

Anyone please feel free to add me - I'm definitely on the introvert side too, and have a lot to lose. I am 46

I'm a total noob, so this is pure preference - I make a jug of juice (about 32oz so 4 cups usually) in the morning and usually drink it from morning to afternoon until its gone and make a fresh batch the next day. I eat as well though, not just 100% juicing.
-
You and your partner both look AMAZING!!!!
-
Sucks it seems to be coming back. Did you track calories when you came off the juice? Just wondering what your totals were when you came off and how much exercise - in other words did it ALL change when you ended the 3 days? Or did you just add back very reasonable servings of regular food and continue exercise?
-
I just got a juicer too - recipes seems easy right? But Its not as simple as throwing stuff in there if you want it to taste ok! I did the Mean Green drink and it's way too much celery taste for me to be able to drink a lot of. I'd love suggestions too for how to adjust - I want mostly vegetables but it needs to taste ok!…

OMG look at the TINY waist! You look fantastic!
-
Looking good girl! And no sucking in! Awesome!
-
Didn't you just lose 8lbs in one week?!! You need to tell US the secrets :laugh: SPILL!
-
Yes I think anything you can't fall off is fine :) Re: the heart rate - just a very general guide from my OB - I'm quite sure people vary with this depending on age and previous condition, but without doctors advice, it's a general guide.

This one makes me laugh: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spaQGWasqHY Oh and this one - same theme lol: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJp5goOpOfY
-
Swimming and walking are good. Generally nothing that gets your heart rate over 130, and also no to the bike riding in general - or things involving balance because pregnancy alters your center of gravity and can mess with your balance.
-
Just ask - everyone is different. I know devout vegans who will eat eggs from cruelty free situations like this, but others wont regardless simply because of what an egg actually is. I think the person will really appreciate your concern in asking!
-
I'm just thrilled to see so many people who are dedicated to reducing animal cruelty as much as they can - I even appreciate meat free Mondays - even one day a week helps. Personally I am a lifelong vegetarian and am raising 2nd generation vegetarian daughters. I'd like to be vegan, but struggle with some things, so for…

WOW! That is fabulous. You have worked hard for those compliments - soak em up!

Hilarious!
