Have you had your thyroid tested? Hypothyroid left untreated can cause this problem.

I am in my 40s and noticed I could not lose any belly fat even w/counting calories. So I tried something different-kind of a last ditch effort. First, I added sugar and fiber to my calories and fat counting log. Staying within my sugar count and getting all my fiber has made a huge difference! My belly size went down-and…

I plugged it into the recipe section:1 cup= 1 serving 129 calories, 20 carbs, 2g fat, 8g protein, 0 sugar, 7g fiber I made it again this week. It thickens in the fridge after cooling and I like the broth part. I sometimes add a couple tsp of water to thin it before I heat- still tastes great! Sodium depends on the type of…

I, too, was counting calories and going to the gym, and eating back my exercise calories, with little results. Then I read a thread the other day (can't remember which one) that suggested looking at the type of calories. I am in my 40s so I decided to include sugar and fiber in my counting. The first day I stayed in my…

just soak the beans in water either over night or the quick soak method. For quick method, I put beans in a large pot of boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. I then turn off the burner, put a lid on the pot and leave to soak for 1 hr. So easy, just takes some time either the night before (put beans in water overnight to…

I just changed my settings to include sugar. I love fruit and just know my sugar intake is out of whack. I too have been stuck and within my calories. More veggies for me!! Time will tell if sugar intake is "it".

I am 42 and trying to lose ten. So far I have only dropped 2 lbs-one per week. Hardest weight I have ever shed. When I was younger and clothes got a bit snug, I could just tweak my intake and would see huge results fast. Not now. I tend to under eat, especially on big workout days, which does crazy things to my metabolism,…

I have had hypothyroidism for ten years. I switched from a GP managing it, to a specialist- this made a big difference. My endo tests are more specific and put me on two thyroid meds. One thing he told me was to take my meds with a large glass of water in the morning and wait 30 min to 1 hour before eating or even drinking…

I am 5'5 with a goal weight of 120-122. Right now am hovering at 129/130. I have always been around 118-120 until my 40s hit and everything I ate stuck around despite my working out. Aging is not for sissies! Good luck to all!b

Hi Guys, So glad to see a 40+ group! just joined MFP this week because it seems my metabolism has come to a screeching halt. I have tried many things for the past year, but without success. I used to just work out more, journal my intake, and boom- pants fit. But now, I am battling something I have never had to deal with…
