Hi Cathy, I am excited to watch your journey. Similar situation here, just had knee surgery 3 weeks ago. Knee feels great! Weight that was gained over the last 5 months, not so great. I wish I were retired. Working on that too. Time for me to turn back the clock as well! Good luck!

@kimny72 Thank you for the links to the articles. I will get reading!!!

To all who offered insight and advice - THANK YOU! It is nice to know that I am not the only one who is struggles. Losing weight has never been easy for me, but this is a whole new HARD. I start in the am and by noon, I have derailed myself into an "Eat every thing you can find that is filled with sugar and not tied down."…

Menopause is kicking me in the *kitten*. I am 54 and did not have peri menopausal symptoms until the last 18 months. Now my eye sight is bad, my hair is gray, I have gained 20 #, I am always frustrated and when I try moderate exercise and diet, I cannot stick with it. Thus, my search for a plan that I can stick with which…

@tinkerbellang83 - Thanks for directing me to the workout site Nerd Fitness! I have a 20 year old daughter who thinks exercise is for others, but these people are right up her alley. Just sent her the link. This post has already been a game changer. :)

@KetoZandra - Wondering what your macros breakdown is? I did a Whole 30 in January and lost 8 #, then tried Keto with my BF in February and gained 5#. To be honest, I did not track so I am sure the gain came from too many calories. I agree that Keto eating was keeping me full and satisfied. Maybe a better macro focus will…

I am in...need a *ss kicking to stop the sugar rush! Start weight: 188 Current weigh: 188 Challenge Goal weight: 168 Final Goal Weight: 138 Not planning to start until 1-1-2019, so I will post my first weight the following Sunday 1-6-19. Here's to being a loser!!!!

I am in. Definitely need a restart and support. I will shoot for 30# but will be thrilled with 20#. My dilemma is just to eat whatever and stick to my net calories or less or try Keto or go back to Whole 30. Anyone had experience with all three options? Happy losing!!

Hi! I am 53 - gained and lost weight for years. I am currently 180 lbs. My goal is 138 - weird number right, but everyone needs a goal. Love to be active part of this group or send me a message and we will be friends. Good luck!!! Lisa

Do you track food along with eating whole30? My understanding of Whole30 is that you do not count calories. Thoughts???

Hi all, Glad you are off to a solid start. I need to begin my 30 days May 8th. My birthday is Friday and I would set myself up for failure if I tries to start before then. I will check back in once I have prepped and started. I am wondering about the book as well. Is it necessary? Does it tell you how to phase food back in…

I hear you Happy Mamma. I had a great Monday through Friday last week and the weekend comes = I am a disaster. I would love a fitness pal to get to goal with.

Thanks for this advice!!! I was having the same problem. :)
