  • It's really about whatever works for you because at the end of the day, it's all about: Less in, more out.... I try to eat more often so I'm not starving or hungry all of the times and so that when I am eating, I don't over do it because I'm so hungry (if that makes any sense). My days are like this: Workout before…

  • Welcome to MFP and to middle age! Ha! I went for my physical late last year and my BP was too high so the good doc put me on BP meds. It really p'd me off ;) Well, I did the same as you. I joined MFP! Then I joined a gym which I go to at least 5 times a week, I got a FitBit in February and this month, got off those pills…

My food, my cardio, any exercise, it's all there. Also, look into something that has helped me tremendously, Fitbit! It's like my little motivating bugger that's…

  • Tape, towel, stretching, orthotics and everything everyone said above. I started feeling it again a month ago and didn't stop working out. I simply changed from the treadmill to doing stationary cycling for a week. What helped me, and everyone is different, is this: I bought a very hard ball (tennis ball size) made…

  • I have a pitcher with an infuser tube in it and use it all the times. I put in chunks of pineapple and a cup of coconut water. (it may add a few calories but in a huge pitcher, not too-too much).

  • Champions are actually great, supportive sports bras. I got lucky one day, walked in Marshall's or TJMaxx and found them for $14.99 each. I stocked up! They can go as high as $52.00 in stores. The good ones. Cushioned straps, individual cups, pretty colors (Hot pink, bright blues, black, mint greens etc...).

  • Hi there! I just turned 50 this past December and joined here in early January, so not quite a month yet. I have always battled my weight and know that I'm at my best when I work out and eat right. After a horrible year (my husband was gravely ill) where I didn't have time to take care of me, I put on quite a bit of…
