Dairy Free Gluten Free Challenge

Over 40, not sleeping, damned hormones
I'm 44, but when I hit 40 I stopped sleeping...the good REM sleep I need. I used to sleep through earthquakes, and now one sound and I'm awake. Usually it's really bad one week out of the month, which makes me suspect hormones. I do take a magnesiusm/potassium supplement before bed to aid in recovery, but I know sleep is…

Health Levels Good...even though overweight
My height/weight ratio would put me close to obese at 199, but I do lift a lot so I know I'm muscle and not just fat. I only care about my weight due to a bad back. (less weight, happy joints).

Anyone been on and off the wagon like you've been going through the Oregon Trail?
I'd rode and been "bumped" off the wagon for years. I thought this last bout was permanent (as I kept weight off 5 years), but I tore a disc in my back, and weight keep creeping back. I'm still less than my biggest, but just curious if anyone has struggled for decades like I have and are still determined to keep at it. My…
