[quote=Anonymous]Hi PP. I’m turning 55 next month. I feel all of what you wrote. Also need to lose about 30 lbs. But would be really fine with 15 gone at this point.

Here’s what’s working for me right now: lifting weights. I joined Planet Fitness and have committed to going every morning Mon-Fri and doing a 30 minute weightlifting routine. It’s been the lift I’ve needed. Even though the scale isn’t moving, clothes fit better and legs & shoulders are getting toned. I followed this program: https://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/muscle-and-strength-womens-workout (I didn’t do the cardio)

On the weekends I go for a 3-5 mile walk.

Now I’m slowly starting to look at the food, especially the breads. I dropped the vanilla syrup from my daily cold brew. Stop eating by 8pm.

Finally, I just got my prescription for menopausal hormone therapy (Prempro). I’m just done with the night sweats disrupting my sleep. I’m crossing my fingers that this will help.I can’t ignore how interrupted sleep might be impacting the weight loss.

Please be gentle with yourself. As another poster said, pick one thing and focus on that. [/quote]
