I'm a middle aged woman (omg to write that LOL) and I want to lose 50 pounds. I need to. Add me for motivation and snark! Anyone in my boat?

Nothing works!
Nevermind. lol. Everyone is an expert around here. I'll figure it out.

Been trying to jumpstart my metabolism....
So...I've been mildly working out (hard to do this week...had a procedure done that made me rather worthless from Wednesday to today), but I've been doing 2 hemp protein shakes a day (with fruits, veggies and almond milk) and a healthy meal for either lunch or dinner (a fish or tofu with veggies and salad). My body has…

Older folks...ADD ME! :D

NSV--- Hubby's jeans!
So...I haven't weighed myself in over a week because of my period. I get so bloated and feel so gross. I did, however, notice lots of changes lately...so... I put on my husband's jeans and I could get them up over my butt and to my waist! :D They won't button (size 31) but a while ago, they wouldn't even come up over my…

How long?
By logging and staying as close as I can to my calorie allotment, how long will it take to lose 40 pounds? I'm not seeing much movement. It's bummin me out.
-
Scales??
Can anyone recommend an ACCURATE affordable scale? My scale SUCKS! It gives me 5 different readings, some of them 5-6 pounds away from the first reading. WTF!? I hate it. I know I have lost weight this week because I can fit into things I couldn't wear last week...and it said I gained a pound. Then it said i gained FOUR…

May 20 through June 16 *yay!*
I have been lifting small weights, doing situps, crunches and lunges. Oh and squats. Lots of squats. I'm watching my calories (logging food daily) and trying to be active daily. I am seeing a difference EVEN THOUGH the scale is stubborn and hasn't really budged. I really notice a difference in my legs and arms. I love it!…

Two weeks of working out ... Maybe? *pics*
I'm not looking for a miracle...I know it's a slow ride. I figured I'd take pics today because I'm in the same outfit LOL! 2 weeks ago: Today: 2 weeks ago: Today: 2 weeks ago: Today: 2 weeks ago: Today: Anything? Hard to tell. I feel MUCH better, but the scale really isn't moving... I will say that 2 weeks ago I was…

My little NSV
I liked my butt today. LOL! Didn't worry about putting a longer shirt on when I was out in the yard gardening (neighbors and the such...I'm usually self conscience.) But woot! My workouts are working! Don't mind the messy room. It's my 13 year old daughter's.

Is this true?
http://www.kriskris.com/how-many-calories-should-i-eat-a-day/ It says I need something like 2,000 calories a day! :-O This goes against my 1200-1500 calories a day (with working out 3-5 times a week). Should I eat more? The scale IS NOT moving...

Tell me what to DO!
I am not new at this. But I am at a loss. Granted, I had some issues with health in the last year. Just had an ovary removed last month. But...why the EFF does my body INSIST of hovering around 180?!?!? Someone tell me what to do? I am gluten intolerant.

Surgery and time to tone
For a while, I noticed my female issues had been resurfacing. I was eating between 1200 and 1400 calories a day and was still gaining weight. Felt a lump in my abdomen and went to doctor. Within a month about, I was having surgery to remove a 7 pound tumor off my left ovary AND remove my left ovary. The bloat and pain and…

I haven't posted in a while!
Here are some new pics! Before and during.... Now.... not suckin it in! my beautiful new tat (almost finished)

I have no waist.
I am realizing that I have no defined waistline. I guess I am built like my mother. I also noticed today, while trying on pants, that my last pregnancy left me with more stretch marks than I knew (I think because my fat filled them out). So now, I fit into a size 12, but HATE the way they fit on me! The pant waists go SO…

Wedding Dress Revisited :)
My 2nd wedding anniversary is on Monday. For fun, I put my dress on tonight :love: When I bought the dress, it was a little too tight, so I just wore spanx and tried not to breathe too much :laugh: Now, the straps won't stay up and the bodice cups are HUGE! It hangs way lower than it did in the boobage area which makes it…
-
NSV!
Today, I played kickball for 45 minutes...crazy, hard kicking kickball. It was teachers against 5th grade students. Teachers won. WOOT! I kicked a 3rd baser AND I caught a pop fly. The kids were in awe. I know last year, I would NEVER been able to play and wouldn't have even offered. :laugh: Awesome.
-
NSV of awesomeness!
I haven't worn my Spanx in 4 months. FOUR MONTHS! They used to be my 2nd skin. I couldn't wear any pants without them and god forbid I wear a sundress without them. But now---- FOUR MONTHS! :smile:

New dress! Size MEDIUM! *pics*
Last summer, I bought a lot of sundresses...all sizes L/XL. I needed some new maxi dresses for some parties this month (mine and friends') so I went shopping. I gathered up a TON of size L or XL. Hm. I guess I still think of myself as being the fat girl. I tried them on and they fit, but...they didn't FIT, know what I…

Three Months Difference!
and an the obligatory undies shot :laugh: I see the pics are big, just right click and click "view photo" if you really want to see them. I just notice a crazy difference...I didn't notice it until the pics. I did notice that when I put my hand on my waist, it feels smaller...Well, that's my 3 month progress. I am happy I…
-
Finally, I see a difference...
I have always hated my neck/chin area. Both of my parents have a horrible jawline...even when thin. However, I am finally seeing progress. YAYYY! WOWWW!! I have a NECK! LOL!
-
Just a little motivation...
I haven't been able to bust through this plateau. It's reallllllllllllllly getting to me. But I have logged in for more than 100 days. These are face pics from day 5 to days 103. Not bad, I guess...I just wish I could lose more...

Just a pic for motivation...
...And I took it while being attacked by a ferocious creature! LOL! Feeling good today :-)
-
Progress check! *pics*
So...the first pictures are of myself last summer. My husband and I were starting P90X...it is an awesome program. It didn't help me lose weight though. Probably because I still ate like a cow. However, I did tone up! I want to get back to it soon. And April 1, 2011 :smile: 27 pounds lighter (or more because I don't know…
-
Face comparisson...WOW!!
