Hi! I would like to join the club. I have belonged to MFP since 2007 but didn't seriously track my food for any length of time until four months ago. I am 63 years old, have exercized regularly for over 15 years. My highest weight was 180 when I was in my 50s. I was about 55 when I went on a diet and got down to 150. I had…

The day after Thanksgiving I weighed 150 which was my lowest weight in a long time. I still weighed exactly the same this morning. I have stuck to a diet of 1200 to 1400 calories with two hour workouts including weights, spinning, yoga and cardio. I am 63 years old so the weight comes off very slow. I have lost about 5…

Hi. Im 63 yrs old, 5'5" and weigh 150 lbs. Measurements are Bust 36, W. 33, H. 38.

The first time I remember being very overwhelmed and almost not wanting to come back. I did come back and loved it. I have done it for over 10 years now usually a couple times a week. The poses get easier as you repeat them so don't get discouraged. Yoga is so good for stretching the muscles. I quit coming for 3 or 4…

15 pounds in 3 months. Very slow but steady!

Don't give up. I have been unmotivated before and know the feeling. Just start making a few steps at a time. Maybe make yourself go to the gym and have a small workout. Figure out what a good amount of food for you to eat and try doing it for one day. If you find it isn't that hard for one day, maybe you will go on to the…

You Look Great! Congratulations!

Height 5'5" Highest Weight 180 Starting Weight 165 (August 2012) Current Weight 150 Goal Weight 140 Age 63 Calories: 1200 to 1400 Exercise: 2 hrs per day, weight lifting, yoga, spinning, treadmill workouts. I aim for 1200, sometimes go over it and "eat back" part of calories burned in exercise. I am trying to lose body fat…

Don't worry, you can't gain that much in one day. I am going to a two hour spinning class Thanksgiving morning and I just intend to be careful at the Thanksgiving meal. For appetizers before the dinner I will only eat them if they are vegetables or something low calorie. I plan to take a small portion of everything I like…

My weight this morning is 151. Goal by New Years 145.

I loved Jazzercize back in the 80's. I have moved on to lots of other types of exercize since but I think it would be a great way to get started. It was always fun, had good music to the latest songs and I found it very easy to follow. I would definitely by the Groupon--you will love it. I did it for about five years,…

:smile: You look awesome! Thanks for sharing. Just curious how tall are you? What an accomplishment!

My weightloss has been very slow too. It took almost two weeks before I had lost anything and I was following the diet to the tee, 1100 or less a day, exercising two hours a day with hard workouts and couldn't believe nothing was happening. Finally after about 10 days I lost 3 or 4 pounds. Now I have been losing about 1 or…

So what is the 30 days shred? I keep seeing posts but don't know what it is.

I was having trouble losing weight even with exercise so went to a nutritionist. I am eating about 1200 per day and now losing about 5 lbs a month. Feel free to look at my food report and you could add a few hundred calories to that. It is very easy to follow and I don't get hungry. This is basically what it is: Breakfast:…

Amazing. You look great! Congratulations.

I make a smoothy with 1 cup of berries, 1 cup of almond milk (40 calories), 1 tbs. flax seed, 1 scoop of protein powder and about 8 to 10 ice cubes. I drink this before a two hour workout and it keeps me full until lunch time and it tastes good! Total calories are 247.

Welcome and Good Luck. I have been seriously tracking since 8/13/2012 although I did it a few years back and lost some weight. I have lost 9 pounds since I started in August. You can add me as a friend if you'd like. I think the first few days are the hardest and then it gets easier. I am taking a few vacations in October…

Don't give up. It will happen if you give it some time. Make sure that you are eating exact proportions of the food you are tracking and if you aren't exercising, add some exercise. Mine has been very slow too but I am finally losing. Sometimes when you haven't lost for about a week, you are due to lose a pound or two the…

You look great. Good Job! Your Mom looks great too!

I have a similar Ft Polar and have had it for four years. I have changed the battery once. I took it to Fred Meyer and they were able to change it for me. Usually it starts doing strange things when the battery is going. If you send it in to the Polar Company they will also check the transmitter for you. I did that with my…

I would like to join your 50+ Motivation group. I am a 59 1/2 grandmother of 5. I was diagnosed wih high blood pressure about five years ago so I try to exercise almost every day to keep it under control. I weighed about 20 lbs more than I do now at the time. I also found out I have oseopeonia and osteoporosis in my spine…

I have taken spinning for over 10 years. I love it. I would see if they would let you try one or two classes before you commit before you pay $40.00. Our club charges $30.00 for 10 classes but we pay a high monthly fee to belong to the club.. I can get a great work out. My heart rate is in the top of its range for the full…

Has anyone tried the new Flat Belly Diet? I got the book, went on the first 4 days, lost 3 or 4 lbs. I have been trying to be on it. It involves keeping the calorie count for the day under 1600 with 400 calories per meal (4 meals a day). I have been exercising daily for months now and finally feel like my belly is getting…
