People can be thoughtless, cruel, and/or stupid…or just incredibly awkward. I don't remember too many comments when I was heavy, I felt more like I became invisible to people: no one smiled at me anymore, people didn't hold doors open or wait for me or look me in the eye…that kind of thing. HOWEVER, this just happened to…

LOVED your post! You ARE an inspiration!! Congratulations on your journey to success…you made me cry (in a good way)

Time for a NEW doctor! I can't believe that's the only advice that was given. When was the last time he saw his regular doctor? The fact that he has underlying medical issues & CONTINUES to lose weight is very worrisome…I weigh 138 and I'm 5'6", I can't imagine that weight on a healthy 6 ft male. Regardless of whether or…

How 'bout some medication for anxiety? LOL Just kidding….sorta. In all seriousness, even if you DO have EVERY.SINGLE.ONE of those issues listed they can all be managed. Stay off YouTube and WedMD, they will only serve to increase your anxiety. Make a list of all the issues you wish to speak with your doctor so you feel…

I actually thought this was going to be a post about why this MFP group isn't very active (post-wise) LOL Personally, I am more active/fitter than I have ever been at any other time in my life and I am loving it. 3 years ago, I was tired of feeling like everything else in my life had control over me and I decided to make a…

AWESOME! We bought my parent's (Gary and Sharyl) old 1993 Honda Accord for our 16 yo daughter's first car, and it's name is the Garold. The name is a mixture of my parents, plus my Dad calls my mom "Sharyld" (don't ask…he also pronounces washcloth "warshcloth"). AND my ex-husbands name was Gerald…which fits with the old,…

Not getting enough sleep sucks and does interfere with weight loss. Life gets in the way for all of us from time to time…it just can't be continuously and constantly KWIM? The best piece of advice I ever got about this journey (after I was moaning about some particularly difficult issues) was "This is YOUR life, you need…

I know you posted for menopausal women, but I am 45 and beginning perimenopause and would be interested in joining your group, if you form one :)

Is anyone else finding logging your miles on these threads incredibly challenging? I actually find it harder than completing the actual runs :( I know where my original post is, but my ticker is not showing…and I have no idea where to find my updated posts. There has to be a better way….

"Comparison is the thief of joy"…ITA with the other posters. You are you, she is she. As hard as it may be, you will be much happier when you focus on all the things you are doing to better YOUR life, than worrying about her reaction to your choices. And personally, her "competitiveness" with your choices speaks to her…

Hi; I'm Michelle, 45 yo married mom of a 16 yo girl and a 11 yo boy. I started running 2 years ago, after losing 30 lbs by weight training/diet and the lure of running an EPIC with friends called to me. I ran several 5Ks, a 10K and then the EPIC from Logan, UT to Jackson Hole, WY and had the time of my life!! Suffered a…

Positive, motivational tat!

I disagree…I think we are ALL "naturally" thin people, but have overridden that by our food choices and lack of exercise. I can guarantee you that if you quit eating all the processed garbage that passes for food in our society and return to eating a "natural" diet, your "naturally thin" person would reemerge. The majority…

I just took a quick peek at your diary after reading your post, and the one thing that stands out is that you are taking in (according to your post) 700 cal A DAY in coffee drinks? Fat, sugar, sodium…these are nothing more than dessert. Even if you are staying within your caloric guidelines, that stuff is not nutrition.…

I'm in…I'm 45 and have been working w free weights for 3 years 2-3x/week to complement my running. Training for my first 1/2 in July. I don't usually participate in the message boards much, but am looking for a supportive, less "dramatic" environment.
-
Congratulations!!! And yes; you ARE an inspiration! I'm training for my first 1/2 in July, after enduring a year of miserable health problems that have sidetracked my running. I LOVE reading stories like yours: PERSERVERANCE!
-
I'm hanging in...trying to work up the gumption to start training for my first 1/2 in July and running the EPIC again in August! I've had some significant health problems over the last year, so I am basically starting from scratch with my running, although I've been consistently doing strength training 2-3x/week. Looking…

It will last longer than her manners! LOL Just remember, what comes out of other people's mouths has so much more to do with them than it does with you...you were just the target within firing range.

This is going to go well.... Honestly, the only thing this product will make lighter is your wallet. I wish I could save people the time, energy, money and disappointment that pursuing these products takes and replace it with some faith in themselves. YOU alone have the power to change your life, your weight, whatever you…

You're both right; just stating it differently. When you decide that you value the results of treating your body in a healthful manner more than the immediate gratification of eating whatever you want/not exercising then you will be willing to put in the work.

I'm 45 and have been here for 3 years :) Lost 36 lbs total and managed to keep them off with the help of MFP and a complete change in lifestyle! You can add me if you like; I'm good for support but don't hang on the message boards too much anymore. Welcome back!! PS I think it's great to see all these "old" people (their…
