Hi ALl...Im 51, in menopause and I have lost 40 pounds over the last 7 months and still have 25 more to go...feel free to friend me! The more friends and support the better :bigsmile: im on 1200 calories a day, I do yoga 2 x's a week and try and get to the gym a few times a week. At this age its a struggle...so easy to put…

Have you tried Yoga? Im 51 and Ive been doing yoga for over a year now and I love it. Its a great work out for the body and mind...I have developed muscles in my arms and in my legs! It is a hard work out but its wonderful for muscle tone. I also highly recommend free weights, not the machines, use the computer and Google…

Im telling you eat prunes!!!! They work!

I have the same problem and I have to do 3 things everyday or I'm in big trouble: 1. Eat 3 Prunes 2. Take 2 Citrucel tablets (or any fiber supplements of your choice) 3. Drink LOTS of Water And I eat lots of fruit and Veggies in my diet and I stay away from sodas and I try and keep my foods clean as possible. Feel free to…

Looks pretty good but your calories are very low. I would try and get at least 1200. I eat 1200 or at least close to it, feel free to look at mine. I also think you need to bump up your breakfast meal, add more fruit. Are you loosing at this low of calories? Feel free to friend me :bigsmile:

^^ Me to :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

This is a great idea!!!!!

Hi again...as I'm trying to speed read thru some of the posts Im noticing that some of you are saying that your goals will be to try and stay within your 1200 calories a day...I eat 1200 calories a day so please feel free to read my food diary...its public and you can see what I eat if it helps you with your calories. I…

Hi Ladies! :bigsmile: Happy August! Im back! Been off the post for awhile :blushing: Goals for Aug are to stay on track with my Yoga 2 x a week Get to the gym 2 x a week Eat more fiber :blushing: I need it if ya know what I mean! And thats about it! My DD is in Chicago! Her first airplane trip since she was in 4th grade…

Im on 1200 and Im very happy with that. I occasionally have wine or beer and I either work that into my 1200 or I go over. I rarely eat my exercise calories. I also have a few recipes in there so feel free to check those out too. I eat out pretty often and count those calories too! Feel free to friend me :bigsmile:

Im 5'1 and I started at 170 (yikes!!!) and today I weighed in at 130.6 (yay!) my goal is between 105 and 110, Im 51 so it comes off very slowly when you're my age...I practice Yoga twice a week and go to the gym 2-3 time a week. I eat 1200 calories a day and Im plenty full on that. Occasionally I may splurge and have a bit…

Thanks for sharing! Love all your points...spot on!

I tried feverfew and it gave me a migraine!

Been a migraine suffer since my late 40's, mine are menopausal migraines, was on Imatrex and it worked for about 5 years and then it stopped working, now Im under the care of a neologist and Im on Topamax (200 mg a day) and a low dose of nortriptiline, overall it manages them but for those rare exceptions I take pain…

Good for you for standing up for yourself! And shame on him for being an a@@! His mother would be ashamed! Im not sure if Id have the balls to stand up for myself if I were in that situation, Id like to think that I would, but if I ever find myself in a situation like that I will think of you :bigsmile: I am sorry it…

Im on Topamax for migraines and I have been on it since Thanksgiving but I'm not on Phentermine, I do mix it with Nortriptyline, but again thats for migraines so not sure if that helps you or not...Topamax took a few weeks to get used to and to get regulated and I increased the dosage each week also but now Im used to it…

In the first picture you look like the Mother and in the second picture you look like the Daughter!!!! You look amazing! What an accomplishment!!!!! Keep up the excellent work! Whatever you're doing keep doing it! You look fantastic!!!

Frozen grapes are the BEST!!!!! I always have them in my freezer!!!!!

Sugar free jello (10 calories) with Free Cool Whip on top (another 10 calories) really hits the spot...if you need the chocolate try a tablespoon of Nutella spread over a rice cracker, it will really take care of your sweet tooth and your chocolate craving, I eat sweets every day and its usually chocolate! I also buy…

Everyday, every meal, every bite! I use my iPhone app when Im not at home and it pretty much has everything on it and if it doesn't I improvise, and I eat out about 3 days a week. And Ive been doing this over 110 days and have lost 38 pounds so its possible :bigsmile:

Congrats on your weight loss! Im a firm believer in what works for you is what works! For me 1200 calories a day is what works, now Im 51 and Im in menopause so my metabolism is almost at a halt and I exercise about 4 days a week, Yoga and the gym, Ive lost 38 pounds and Im very satisfied and full on 1200 calories, BUT it…

Red Yeast Rice is great to lower cholesterol and also Mega Red Krill Oil, Ive been taking it for 2 years now, my cholesterol was at 280 and I started taking 2 Red Yeast Rice pills and 1 Mega Red Krill Oil every day and lowered it to 180 in 6 months. I get them both at Costo. Love Kat

Welcome!!! Yes you can play :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: ps I love Lays potato chips! They are the best! But sadly I rarely eat them anymore :sad: Jump right in, we are a friendly and supportive group! Love Kat:heart: :heart:

Hi Honey!!! We went to Santa Rosa! Lots of wine tasting!!!!! Miss you too!!!!! Happy to see you here! Love Kat :heart: :heart:

Welcome! I don't have any words of wisdom but I will say that Im a firm believer that exercise is NOT the key to losing weight, what you put in your mouth is. Count your calories, track them here EVERYDAY, drink your water and read the posts here. Stick to it and you will lose the weight. It takes time, its not something…
