me too, gained back some and now want to lose it again!

you can do it! Welcome back! :)

I'm in! Have 15 pounds i gained back to lose. Let's do this! Low carb girl too. :)

Me too!

Thanks-I just started a multi the other day. Moments ago I read the reddit posts and have a new plan. I have been low on sodium as an old diet rule. I am going to try the chicken broth with 2 tsp cream and see if that helps. I also think the fatigue could be part of the sleep dep when I am jumping out of bed to get rid of…

I have been walking consistantly for a couple years-I am sure it has helped with the 50 pounds lost, at this point it also keeps my head clear as well. Plus some days I get to have a cookie if I have walked, others, not so much....:)

Have you seen a Dr? Specifically a Podiatrist? I would start there as I did when I recently had an achilles strain that started at the bottom of my calf down to my ankle. Took a few weeks to heal and is back to normal.

Good thread ladies! I am 49 as well, playing with hormone flucuation too. One thing I want to add to this is the supplement DIM. (and no, I don't sell it) It helps clear out the bad estrogen from the liver that can build up over time and wreak havoc. It is not a cure all but a very good thing to use at this age. Google it.…

Having raised an adhd child who is now 20 I can honestly tell you that the diet is the hardest part to manage. Everyone involved with your child needs to be on board, a scant amount of red dye or an allergen that you take away will affect them if given by someone else. A recent revelation is that adhd is linked to sleep…

When I started this journey I weighed in weekly, then I got obsessed and weighed in every couple days, then everyday and now I am a slave to my scale. Watching my weight ebb and flow everyday is like an addiction. So I decided to skip a day here and there and only log Saturday weight and/or a change that sticks around for…

Agreed!

Theanine and Gaba work waaay better.

Agreed!!

This season rocks! His secret is out, hope he gets La Guerta.....she bugs me.

Definetly squats and walking up steep hills helps. Bike riding too.

Sodium fairies showed up or the hormone fairies and sometimes they travel in rogue packs.

Thanks everyone for their responses, some more candid than others. I plan on talking to my husband and then the 3 of us discussing it. Regardless of the judgement I have received because I indicated he is not my biological child, I love him tremendously which is why the conversation preperation needed to be addressed and…

Thank you, well said.

Thanks for that not nice comment. I felt it was important to establish. He lived on the east coast his whole life so our realtionship is hardly like mother and son.

I agree. thanks

wow-brilliant

That is hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.

How is this helpful to me?

I did not raise him, he is my stepson. I enjoy his company but he comes by when we are not home. I don't want to hurt his feelings because we want him to grow up and take care of his own business in his own place. I did not say I don't want him around.

Yeah-emailed him last week to put things back where he finds them. No reply. Then he emailed me a couple days ago asking if he can go on the family phone plan to save money. Did I mention he doesn't have a real job, is my step son and also does his laundry when we are not home? He also couch surfs because he does not want…

That would do it, except I still have one at home so he won't believe me!

San Francisco Bay area.....I here ya-need more west coasties to work with!
