Another update. Since it's been cold weather, I haven't been jogging and the few pounds came back on. I just recently bought my daughter in law's treadmill though, so I will get back to my interval running. Other than that, all my eating habits are still the same. Doc added a new med for my migraines though- Inderal, which leaves me a little more tired. than usual. Darn.View Thread

Thanks for your advice. I'll check into the adrenal gland. I do drink two cups of coffe in the morning and two more in the afternoon-but no sugar with them, just some non dairy creamer. I gave up the sugar years ago. I also drink LOTS of water during the day-anywhere from a quart to a gallon a day. I just keep a gallon pitcher of cold water in the fridge and keep filling up my water bottle from it. As far as sugary snacks-nope, not any more. I love chocoate, but it's rare now that I have any. Occasionally I will indulge, but very rarely. And I do take thyroid meds, I thought I mentioned that, not sure.View Thread

Well, an update here. I've been dieting and watching my calories for almost 5 weeks. I've been doing interval walking/running since the end of June. I have lost 6 lbs since July 2, and feel pretty good. A couple more lbs would be nice, but more importantly, just to keep up the walking/running will be my goal as well as to add strength training exercises.View Thread

bella2847-Thank you for your reply. I checked out the Biotin supplement online and thought I might benefit from it, so I ordered some. It said it was good for brittle nails and hair that wouldn't grow, and those are two problems that I've had for a long time, so maybe it will help with those issues too. I take calcium and vitamin D but I don't really know much about supplements, so I'm clueless unless someone here can fill me in. I take a host of other meds for various health problems though.View Thread

tcb108lady-I was just concerned with this year, all of a sudden putting on 14 lbs, from January to July without any change in my eating or exercising habits. Menopause is not a factor, since I had a hysterectomy in 2000. I am not overweight, but I would like to keep it that way, and, like I mentioned before, have added interval walking/jogging to my exercise routine and it has been working for me. I do substitute fish for meat in some of my supper meals, but would like some more suggestions for protein for the other meals. Thanks for all of the replies!View Thread

flagini-I thought it might be mid life weight gain, but the suddenness of it startled me.
Sometimes I have peanut butter on my celery at lunch, which is protein, but I have to watch the calories there. The almonds are also protein, I believe, as is the meat which I have for my supper. I keep my caloric intake between 1200-1500 for the day, and I do interval walking/jogging as my main exercise 6 mornings a week for approx 30 minutes each day. I have lost 4 lbs since July 2, so it appears to be working. If I can lose another 4 lbs and keep them off, I will be happy. I just need help in knowing what and how and how to eat.View Thread

I forgot to mention, I am 5'10" tall and currently 160 lbs, if that makes any difference.

I am 56 years old and have never really had trouble with my weight before, but since the beginning of this year I have put on13 lbs with no explanation for it. I haven't changed any medication, foods, exercise (In fact, since the weight kept coming on, I have started interval walking/jogging to try and stop it) I have tried to explain my concern to my doctor, but since I am not overweight, he just brushes me off. He has retested my thyroid, and my current dosage is still fine there. I had a hysterectomy 12 yrs ago, so menopause is not a factor either. I stopped HRT years ago. My current food intake is something like this: Breakfast-2 cups of coffe, 8 oz milk, small banana or hard boiled egg
Lunch- Salad or raw veggies and watermelon slice
Supper-Meat, more veggies
Snacks-almonds, sometimes beef jerkey, raw veggies
What am I doing wrong? I don't have much experience in actual dieting.View Thread
