I agree with the other 2 posters. It's not easy changing a whole way of life. It's not just your life your changing, it's hers too. Maybe she's scared. Now that the kids are grown up and you are immersed in this new healthy way of life, she may be afraid of you two growing apart. She may see each new class or workout you…

I had my 1st at 32, 2nd at 33, 3rd at 37 & 4th at 39. My SIL had her 1st at 41 & 2nd at 46. Having kids are a huge responsiblity, your the only one that can deside when your ready. Age has nothing to do with it.

No changes this week. I got a new scale which threw me off with a 2 lb. gain, but I'm back down again. Thank you for doing these challenges. It has helped me to watch the changes in my measurements & not get discouraged by the scale. Week #3 Current Weight: 153 Height 5'4".5 Female Current waist inches: 32" Current hips…

Thanks for posting this! I've been avoiding rice & really miss it.

I don't seem to be getting anywhere. It may be time to re-adjust my goal again. I raised my daily cals. to 1600 & have been eating back most of my excersise cals. each day. I'm either going to lower my goal to 1500 or stop eating back my exercise cals., not sure which to do. MFP starting weight - 205 lbs Goal weight - 150…

Not a good week for me. I went over my calories 2 days, my daughter wanted chinese food for her 13th birthday party. I'm still loosing inches, but not lbs. It doesn't help that I only got to the gym 2x this week. Back to work next week & my regular gym schedule, hopefully that will get the scale moving again! Week #3…

there's a couple of recipes on here that sound good!

^^^This is the only one I use! The unsalted version, only ingredient is peanuts! The awsome thing about it is it's made in the next city over from me.

I started at 1200 & lost steadily. I upped it to 1360 during the summer & still lost, but fell off my good eating habits and started yo-yoing. I upped it to 1600 around the begining of the year & still seem to be yo-yoing between 150 & 160. Can't seem to find my magic #.

These sound great, can't wait to try them!

I like to make my eggrolls using broccoli slaw, water chestnuts & black bean sauce. Make sure to really drain mix after you cook it, so it won't make the wraps soggy. Put the mix on the wraps & roll. Spray with butter spray & bake @ 400 for 15 to 20 mins. (until browned).

Bookmarking to read later! This is a great thread, but I'm only on page 9 of 17 and it's getting late. I'm 51 and just started lifting a few months ago. I'm not sure it would be considered heavy, I'm up to 25 lbs. dumbell bench press. My gym only has dumbells & smithmachines. I was taught 3 reps 12, 10 & 8 each using…

Thanks guys! What a nice surprise, I was afraid I'ld be eliminated this week. @tsumpter - Sorry you had to eliminate yourself.:flowerforyou: Thank you so much for doing this challenge, it has really been helpful in getting me back on track. I loved trying all the new exercises, I really like the split squat & frogs.

^^^^ This, only I boil mine for 4 min. before shutting them off. In the morning put some in a bowl with a little chocolate protein powder & microwave for 1 1/2 min. to warm up. My husband adds milk to his in the morning, because he likes it soupier.
