I know EXACTLY how you feel, when I told my friends I wasn't drinking they asked if I was an alcoholic!! Geez!! Of course as the night went on seeing them drunk I couldn't decide if I never wanted to drink again or down a bottle!! Good luck we are in the same boat or bottle!!! LOL

I was at a horrible plateau! I am 50 and have a bad thyroid so I know what you are going thru! I started running and stopped drinking!!! I really watch my calories and rarely eat all my workout calories. PPL look at my diary (it's open and say I need to eat more, but when I met with a nutrition she increased my carbs…

Great advice, I will slow down! I will swim or find another activity on my off day! I am also tweaking my diet! I also have goals I want to run a 5 K in September and 10 K next February

I am in the 170's now and do and I ran my first 5 K at 220 in my 40's!!!

I really think it helps to take a supplement like glutamine and take a high protein recovery shake! As women we sometimes look at the weight lifters and say "I am not like that", but our muscles burn that lactic acid too! I love the HITT classes TRX and les mills body combat. I am also running and jumping rope on days I…

I have had a huge weight loss but I notice on the weeks i drink (and it can be thursday- sunday a couple glasses of wine) I can gain 3 lbs even though I continue to exercise! I think some of us process sugar better then others! I know some people on here say a calorie is a calorie but I would argue with them. I know if I…

Well said and not sure if this was mentioned but I will also add, the calories burned when exercising for example I run and use les mills programs on the les mills web site it says 55 min class burns 530 I work out hard I am 50 and at my max have only burn 350! So we have to take in the calories our classes say we burn…

At 50, and having the slowest metabolism in the world!! LOL I have found I have to shop on the perimeter of the grocery store and I am learning how to "grow my own" I eat lots of veggies, I am gluten free, limit processed foods has been the key to my success!!

I can't speak for everyone, but when I decided to change my life I was lucky to be able to make exercise a priority! When I worked I had to get up really early and do it before work! Now I don't have to work so it's easier!! NOT EASY, at first, but now I love it!! Of course I can't wait to see the results!! I think I have…

I am the queen of plateau's!!! I know how frustrating plateau's can be. You need to look at two things first change up your exercise usually increase it for example I was doing an hour of zumba 4 times a week and running 2 miles 3 times a week, and eating 1200 to 1400 calories a day. I increased my cardio by doing cardio…

I still have 20 or 25lbs to go!! It's taken me 2 years to lose 80 lbs. I eat right and exercise! Some of my friends have lost 100lbs in a year!!! You have to have the right attitude and never give up!!! Set your own goals!! I have boards on pinterest when I get depressed I get motivation there or come here, or go to the…

On my weight loss journey, I have found what works for one doesn't work for all!! I like to run but I started with coach to 5 K. I also think you should join a gym or a weight loss group! They just keep you motivated and most are inexpensive! I love the YMCA! There are exercises for everyone! Try Zumba classes!! They are…
