Ok I just went in and changed my settings. I kind of wish this was a private group but I understand. I was a member of a photo challenge that was private and that was nice because we had to post our "befores" and I know a lot of us probably would not have participated if it were open. This is obviously different. :wink:

Just saw this on my newsfeed so I guess I answered my own question...........darn!

Hi Ladies! I saw the original post on the main board regarding menopause, saw a group being formed and flew to join, lol!! I just turned 53 on Wed and am in peri-menopause. I've had a few hot flashes, more like getting extra warm really. Nothing recently though. I had always heard it's near impossible to lose weight after…

I would say in my case it's making me look older but at my stage of life I have to look at my health rather than just looks (unfortunately). That doesn't mean I like it!!! :grumble:

So cute and big congrats!! (sending a request also :wink: )

Homemade bread hot from the oven slathered with butter!! Mmmm

So far only a couple of people have noticed enough to say anything. These are people who weren't aware that I was trying to lose. My family and those friends I have told about my efforts have made comments but it makes you wonder if they would if they didn't know I was trying. Don't get me wrong I'm happy to get them but…

You can add me too. I do well most days commenting but there are some days I don't if I'm wiped out or not home. I enjoy seeing other's diaries and mine is open to friends.

Also looking for friends with open diaries and who are active. Feel free to add me. :smile:

French vanilla Stevia drops. Good just like that or like others have said add your fruit, etc. I like my fruit frozen or partially frozen and if I can afford the calories/fat I love mixing almonds into it too and making it all chunky and chewable.

5'4" and currently 156 lbs. Size 8 misses and size 9 jrs. Get this... in high school at my lowest weight (115 lbs) I hovered between a size 7 and 9 jrs. I could only wear a 7 sometimes. This is an example of how sizes have changed over the years to make women feel better about themselves so they will keep buying new…

This in spades and X1000!! :noway:

Bump!!

What stats do we have to post? Just weight or all the measurements? I can't bring myself to measure yet for fear I will be discouraged before I even begin. Otherwise, considering joining. Oh, and if I post photos here won't they go to my profile page too??

Half and Half. If I want sweet/flavoring I dribble a little Torani sugar free syrup in. It doesn't take much. Current faves are French Vanilla and Chocolate Macadamia Nut but there are lots of other flavors.

That's so cute!! Congratulations!!!

If I'm making tacos I boil my hamburger, rinse it, dice it up, add spices and steam any excess moisture from it. I like it because it's nice and moist and spicy. I don't worry about trying to make it lean for logging purposes but I admit I don't miss the fat at all. Obviously I don't do that for any other hamburger recipe…

Sent you a request. :) Would love more weight loss buddies too. Feel free to add me.

HI Please add me whoever would like to. I am new to the program and still learning the ropes. Just learned last night that it's not good to go under your calorie allowance..that's a hard thing for my mind to get around after years of hearing just the opposite. I need friends and motivators too. I can't promise the best…

Hi I need some friends for support and motivation also. Please add me! Thank you and good luck everyone!!

5'4.5" here. SW 180 two weeks ago. My goal is 150 (149 so I can say I'm in the 140's lol). I know that probably sounds really high and it may be but mentally it's an achievable goal and I can always shoot for more. I was down to this weight 2 years ago and although I didn't look exactly thin it wasn't too bad. My neck…

Feel free to add me. I joined 2 weeks ago but just started the message boards last night. I need more friends for motivation too! :happy:

Click on the link above Newbies Please READ ME (2nd edition), In the first post there are four links. I just finished reading them and I was really surprised.

HI there! I'm two weeks new to MFP and tonight's the first crack at the message boards. Hoping to get more motivation cuz I need it!! Feel free to add me, Lisa

Hi I am 52 and boy can I relate to some of what has been posted here. I lost 29 lbs in time for my 50th birthday and managed to keep it off for 3 mo then partly as a result of being put on steroids for awhile for an autoimmune disease I managed to put it all back on regardless of how much I was eating which was so…
