Hi Michelle. I am turning 46 in a couple of months. I am attempting to budge about 10-20 pounds that have been difficult to get rid of. I work out about 5-6 times a week. Feel free to add me!

I am almost 44 with 20-25 pounds to lose. Feel free to add me!

I think I finally found the right thread. The hormone imbalance has made me bloat and despite working out 5-6 days a week and eating healthy, I have been gaining weight. I found that black cohosh and maca root do help with the hot flashes. My doc also suggest DIM which is a supplement made from spinach and broccoli. I also…

I'm 43 and have a step daughter, but no kids of my own. She does not live with us during the year. I hope this topic picks up again. I don't know about you, but I found that without having kids, I started the peri-menopause earlier than average. I am battling some serious hormone issues and have put on the weight around…

Thank goodness for this thread! I have been trying for four years and keep gaining weight despite what I do. I am extremely petite so I am thinking my calories are too high despite eating average amounts of what MFP thinks. I am mostly low carb no sugar already with brown rice and quinoa for grains. I workout 6 days/week…

I'm 41, and it has been a challenge. I have been battling at the same weight point for 2 years now. I think 2013 will be the year! Feel free to add me.

Kettlebell cardio doesn't involve that much movement. Good luck!

I sometimes have a challenge fitting it all in, but I am still doing the walking, ST and yoga. Chime in when you can! :smile:

Hi MamaDee, Mainly to move, but as close to the challenge as you can since this is the regiment that seems to move those pesky 40+ pounds. Thanks, MamaDee and hope you can join in on the fun!

****For the month of August! 6 Days per week workouts: For 4 days Cardio workout 20-60 min. bonus if you do interval training Strength for 5 min. Walk for 30 min. Yoga/Stretch for 10 min.

Hi mspix! Glad to see you. It sounds like a whirlwind of changes for you. I hope they are all good changes! I know you will be back at it soon. July is going to be tricky since next week is a vacation week. I can attempt to commit to a walk a day and toning everyday. Getting a particular workout might be tough. I hope the…

I'm really working it! I was doing Brazil Butt Lift until last Sunday. I think I will sprinkle these workouts in when I can. I rather be outside hiking or something right now. Plus, after having the same workouts for a month, you do get a little tired of some of them. So, I have been doing my walk per day, plus sit-ups and…

I'm doing fairly well. First three days were stellar. Today I felt I needed an easier day. I skipped the cardio and did light weights targeted training. I am ready for another big day tomorrow! 90 minutes worth!

I have not been the best this month due to distractions Does anyone want to recommit with me for the next 2 weeks? ****For June Challenge - let's work on doing some of the things that help release weight for us:**** - Take a walk every day to get 1 - 2 miles in. - Use meditation, breathing techniques and yoga for stress…

Oh, if anyone is interested in Brazil Butt Lift, I accidentally thought my first copy was damaged, but it was my DVD set up. I'd be happy to send it your way. First come first serve on this one. :happy:

MamaDee2 - Sure, we'd love to hear from you too. It's been a quiet month. Summer is generally less active since we are all traveling and doing other outside activities. I just got back from my trip to Chicago. I did stick with a walk a day, but that's about all I had time for. I'm back to Brazil Butt Lift with an added…

MNM - It is so good to hear that you are getting the stress under control with meditation and such. It sounds like it is helping you big time. I think I will need to follow your good example and get back into stress relief. I could use it too. mspix - How are you doing? Are you able to fit some workouts in despite the…

Hi Ladies! I had a bad headache yesterday, so I have to shift my week around to catch up on my schedule. I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy. Did we want to figure out a June challenge? I'm still doing BBL until 2 week of June, but perhaps the challenge could be a metabolism booster. Let me see if I can find…

MNM - Good to hear from you, and we completely understand. I hope your husband is recovering nicely. It is amazing how you are still getting your workouts in during the stressful time and your Lean Cuisine schedule sounds just fine. I also hope you can find some time to de-stress. Do you use compress packs? I have no idea…

I decided to weigh and measure since I ended the program. I didn't lose any weight really. I think I do need a new scale since it is wigging out a bit. I did lose about 5 3/4 inches total for my chest, waist and legs. However, I gained a little on my hips. My arms are about the same. Last week, I didn't walk as much, and I…

I'm wondering if I need to repost or send them a message. Maybe they thought the thread was done for some reason? Mspix - it sounds like that is not enough cardio for sure. Now I hear you! I still haven't purchased the Amy Dixon workout. Maybe in my next round of new stuff. I have 2 more days left for the Rockin' Body. I'm…

Hi mspix. Rockin' Body is such a great workout program. You will love all the cardio! I've decided not to weigh until my last week, but I do notice some changes in my body. Keep your eyes peeled since they sometimes put this one on sale. Does the MWHBB program not have cardio, or is the cardio too wimpy? Adding more…

Great job for reeling yourself back in! :flowerforyou:

Okay, so the good news is that by standing and moving around more during the week, I am starting to lose weight again, albeit slowly. I lost a pound during time of the month! The bad news, time of the month once in a while is brutal on the first day and I ended up taking 2 days off. So this week I will only have 5 days of…

It's been quiet in here. I hope it means you are working it this week! :wink:

Yay! I received my second set of Brazil Butt Lift today. I'm embarrassed to say, but I think my DVD player is the culprit. Lucky I have a second one downstairs, and the set works. I'm still working the Rockin' Body this week, but over the weekend, I will try some of the Brazil Butt Lift to give it a go. I'm concerned that…

Hi all! I haven't been the best either, mspix. We threw a party on Sunday so eating was out the window. I've been doing fairly good, but felt run down yesterday and had to take the day off. Mspix - I bet you were sore city! If you haven't done an exercise in a while, that's usually what happens. The first time I did…

Melt it Off with Mitch: good, but boring!!! :tongue:

Thank you for the WBs! Mspix- My body didn't take the shock either. I am reading another book that explains things well called Ultra-Metabolism by Mark Hyman, M.D. Our bodies definitely respond better to gentler and smart changes. MnM - 2-3 miles would be fab! I am going for that amount as well. Lovestobake - I hear you on…

Hi all! I've decided to end my pity party. Actually, I was still working out, but I needed some space to think through some things. However, I will say that my cardio is definitely much improved! I went on a 5 mile hike and I wasn't crazy tired like I used to be at the end of it. I think the reason I am not shedding is due…
