Can't post the weight GAINS!
Anyone else struggle with honestly updating the pounds lost? I was on a roll, looked so much better, clothes fit again... but then look what happened. I hate recording the backslides!!!!

I hate Holidays!
If you are single like me, and your family has all scattered to other states, holidays can really bite. So even though I had plenty of time to be active, I also had a bit of a pity-party in the kitchen. It was a chance to make progress and I blew it. Someone sent a photo with me in it today, and even though I'm a pretty…

Natural tips for menopause symptoms?
Read that Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) - 2 Tb mixed with 16 oz water, sweetener if needed to get it down, twice a day is supposed to vanquish the :blushing: 'heat' :mad: women of a certain age endure.

Do you Exercise to make up for Diet Slips?
Anyone else out there who uses workouts to balance out calorie intake? And just what does it mean when your calorie allowance is 1200 but exercise for the day is 500. I've understood this to mean 1700 is the new break even to stay within goal, and that taking in less than 1200 net of exercise can backfire by slowing your…

Airports, fast food, and big old family dinners - yike!
Anyone traveling to visit family for the holidays have good suggestions for keeping the momentum going? Being required to get to the airport early means I can walk during the entire wait till boarding, but there will be little chance to work out at all during the trip, and meals will be a challenge. Ideas?? :indifferent:

Much harder at 50+
Looking for an "accountability partner" - any ladies out there trying to get that good boost off the starting line? I've always struggled with my weight but for the last several months haven't budged. Good that I haven't gained any more :) but making no progress and not happy with current weight. Hoping to share success…
