55 years old! Dedicated to healthy living and exercise for almost 35 years! Not giving up any time soon! I'm always looking for friends that are over 40! Feel free to friend me :flowerforyou:

There's no need to give up weights! Do what you love to do! If you still want to get some cardio in - Can you switch it up to make it more interesting? What type of cardio are you doing?

^^This exactly!

As long as everyone, whether they are gay, straight, bi, purple, gluten free, tall, short, skinny, bow legged, big chested, white, black and every color of the spectrum in between behaves with the proper decorum and etiquette while in the locker room and gym....I have no problem with how their make their sexy time. That's…

Congrats! You look great! I like your attitude!

Based on what you've said...your BF sounds rude and very immature. He needs to grow up and learn some respect. NOTE - it's a two way street.

THIS THIS THIS!!!!! Thank you for the voice of reason!!

A plan of action is always good BUT - re-read your plan of action. It's still all wrapped up in your mother this, your mother that, what she'll notice, what she won't. What you're going to tell her, what your not. Honestly just lose the weight FOR YOU. Stop obsessing about how your Mom is going to react. This is your life!…

Honey, I'm gonna be honest. I didn't read all of your post..first paragraph, last paragraph, skimmed through some other lines. Because here's my sincere opinion - you're 40 years old, go out and be your own woman. Own it! Don't look to others for validation. Because it's more likely your mother will NEVER come around, she…

Use moderation and commonsense. It's one meal. Relax and enjoy!

Sinuses too much caffeine certain foods can make me feel ****ty have you had your eyes tested? Blood pressure ok?

Unrealistic and just setting yourself up for more yo-yo dieting. Don't 'diet', make this a lifestyle change and take your time. Huge calorie deficits don't teach you healthy eating habits, they just perpetuate the 'diet' mentality. And.....rapid weight loss isn't just fat loss...It's loss of muscle too. You want to lose…

Doing my son's taxes. Lol....normally this is a scheduled work out day for me. I'm hoping by the time I get home tonight I'll still have some time and energy to do some kind of workout!

I like to enhance my 12 minute diet with the 8 minute abs DVD......20 minutes and I'm beach ready :wink:

Sounds like you are close to goal weight. What are your stats? Height, weight, body fat? Those last few pounds are very hard to lose!

It's not the rice that's bad....it's the portion size of the rice. Just stay within your calorie goal and you will be fine! As far as your siblings eating your snacks....I'd hide the food in your room!

I think you need to give yourself a little more time. Tracking really well for one week is not going to give you big results. Be patient, stay consistent, stay within your calorie goal. You'll get there!

A lot of people go on a 'diet' and then categorize foods as 'good' or 'bad', 'healthy' or 'not healthy'. As a result they eliminate too many foods from their daily intake and have a hard time meeting their calorie goal. Nuts, oils, butters, avocados are all great suggestions for beefing up calorie intake. As well as eating…

Here's my 2 cents - We have entered the age of 'UNACCOUNTABILITY'. It's always someone else's fault. There's always an excuse, the food industry is making me fat, it's mcdonald's fault, oreos are just as addicting as crack, supersizing is making me fat, I have a desk job, sugar is addicting, carbs are addicting, wheat is…

The short answer - calories in vs. calories out. However - it's not very healthy to 'drink your meal' every night. I'm sure that's not what you mean. Alcohol, as with everything,...in moderation.

I completely understand because I love sweets too!!! So I weighed the options and decided which would be harder in the long term - 1. Give up sweets forever (oh what a sad sad world) 2. Practice willpower, learn discipline, eat healthy and reward myself EVERYDAY with a treat and still lose weight I'll take what's behind…

^This exactly! Rest up for a day or two and don't obsess about a few extra calories!

^^^This exactly!

I can always find time to eat! Plan ahead, bring a snack, eat at 2am, drink a latte??? Endless possibilities. No offense, you have a lot to lose...somewhere along the line you found time to eat. Plan plan plan ahead!

Pretty much this!

Not worth it!! The secret to losing weight and maintaining your weight loss learning how to eat healthy (the majority of time) and improving your relationship with food. SlimFast does nothing to reinforce that. Find a healthy daily calorie goal, eat a variety of foods, stay consistent and you'll lose weight without having…
