Healthy Eating
Hi there, in 2 weeks I will be 55 and would like to drop 20 pounds. I am not a big fruit and vegetable person. I didn't grow up that way and I know for a fact, I'm to old to change. I do eat some, but not like I should. Like, I would rather grab a handful of pretzels instead of carrots. As long as I measure and count…

Exercise DV
So I started an exercise dvd. It has country music and I love exercising to that. The problem is, I'm such a klutz, I trip over my own feet!!! I get so aggravated and want to quit but I feel good knowing I'm trying. Does it ever get easier or should I stick to something easy, like walking. Thanks

Starting Over

I was told to lose 20 more pounds (yikes!!) I am having a hard time getting started and committing. I really have a hard time with breakfast…

50 year old needs some help...
So I have been on mfp for a couple years now. I have lost 40 pounds....but gained 10 of them back. My doctor told me to lose at least 10, but I would like to lose 15 to 20.

Help with the Weekends
How do you stay in control on the weekends? I try, but by the end of Saturday and Sunday - I am way over my calories and have no energy left to walk. I know it's harder to count because sometimes I think I'm going to cook then my husband and I decide to go out to eat - I just never know what to expect. And he snacks at…

So Embarassing
I've been trying to eat "cleaner" but it seems everything I eat gives me gas. Broccoli, hummus, eggs.....I get really bad gas. I've tried "Beano", but it doesn't help. Do I need to see a doctor? It's SO embarassing.......

Any Suggestions please.....
I've seem to hit a plateau and can't break it. I've started to eat cereal for breakfast, and watch what I have for suppers. I have no ideal what to pack for lunches - something I hate to do. I've started to walk 1 mile, 4 times a week. When the weather gets warmer (I live in PA) I plan to do more walking. But my weight…
