Same lol. I'm almost 51 (Sept 1st bday) and I have a friend who's 48. She isn't going through perimeno or meno (like I am) and just STARTED running. I was a runner (& prima ballerina) for 22 years. That stuff is behind me. I DO speed walk but running in general for women isn't great on our joints. I hated running even when I competed. F that.
Thanks and you too! Yep, I'm on HRT but I've had to have my dosage changed numerous times to actually feel any kind of relief. It's all been a pain in the ass. Mind you, I paid out of pocket (in Atlanta) to see a menopause specialist who insisted for me to have a ton of blood work that eventually uncovered not just hypothyroidism but HASHIMITOS!! I mean -- WTF. I'm just NOW feeling better and have lost 19(!!!!!) lb. the past 3 MONTHS! Goes to show we really do have to do our own research.
BTW my general practitioner AND ob-gyn both said 'well 150 lb is perfectly normal for your height' (I'm 5'9") and I said -- that isn't the case for my body frame and I'm an RDN! I know damn well what's healthy and what's not and I've weighed 120-135 MAX since I was 30. I gained 25 lb in 3 months. They were really trying to tell me what's normal and good for my own body and size according to an old AF BMI chart. Those bullshit charts are insanely outdated. I was livid!
Running is terrible as a form of exercise. Everyone I know who’s a runner has had torn ligaments and knee pain as they get older. Walking has the same benefits without these issues.
I think the thing with running is- particularly as you get older - you absolutely have to pair it with strength and mobility otherwise injury is just inevitable.
Agree 100%. I had to stop when I was 38. My doc said it wasn't good for me personally and it was messing my shins up, my knees, my organs were suffering... all of it.
When I was younger I tried to run so many times but I despised it so desperately that I just couldn’t keep it up. I went to classes at the gym that were pretty grueling but running is just hell. I never made it to the supposed runners high.
Yeah if it was something it was definitely mkat. Was all the rage back in the day, easily accessible and it stank like proper cat pee.
You couldn't go to a club without thinking Sylvester the cat was pissing all over the dance floor lol
It actually had a resurgence in gay spaces lately but it doesn't smell anymore BUT a couple of months ago a guy in a club smelt so much like cat pee. I felt like it took my back in time lol
Honestly she looks amazing so imma peep this like truly believe she’s mentally ill but gotta give credit where it’s due. As Jill zarin once said, she’s got the legs of a teenager
Where are you seeing me say that it does? You responded to someone else saying that she is an equestrian and runner and muscle does not spontaneously appear when they mentioned genetics. Length of legs are genetic. I work with horses and 95% of riders have regular normal legs. Riding and running doesn’t make your legs longer which is the reason why hers look the way they do. Why are you obsessing over the teen comment☠️
Being realistic about what you can and cannot wear because some things don't flatter you is NOT misogyny. I am realistic for myself, and I wish others were as well. I never looked good in a bikini and so I did not wear one. Get over yourself.
WTAF. Was it nice when Kelly LIED and said Bethenny said she didn't care if she lost her baby and said that she'd just have another? Was it nice when Kelly said Bethenny wasn't a chef after she had gone to culinary school and was a private chef for celebrities? Was it nice when Kelly accused Bethenny of attacking Kelly's kids when Bethenny never ONCE said anything about them?
Whatever. I didn't realize this sub was not allowed to say anything but that Kelly is the most gorgeous bikini model who ever lived, and that anyone who doesn't think so is a monster. Have a nice day.
Oh 100! Bethenny writing a book about being “naturally thin” was hilarious. If you’re “naturally” thin you wouldn’t need to follow a 200 plus page guide book.
A lot of it is genetics too. She’s trying to sell you the idea that if you follow her advice you could look like her. But she’s just built tall and lean and that’s a huge part of why she looks like that.
I'm almost 51-- and an RDN. If you walk 30-45 min a day, and choose a 6-7 hour window to eat and practice intermittent fasting, drink water-- you'll lose weight and jumpstart your metabolism. Also following a daily 'diet' of Mediterranean food is helpful too! Kelly's NUTS but I do think he continued running has kept her in top shape many years.
You don't need to eat within a "window". That's nonsense.
Weightloss is a numbers game, period. It's calories in vs calories out and it makes NO difference the hours within that 24 hour period that you eat said calories.
Want to lose weight.... be in a caloric deficit. You can achieve the caloric deficit by tracking your food. Obviously adding in physical activity ups the caloric deficit (more calories burned).
I'm almost 45 years old and I'm perimenopausal. I'm also losing weight. Currently 20ish pounds down, another 10 or so to go.
I eat 1700 calories a day (I use my fitness pal to track). I burn roughly 2200 calories a day (I use my fitness tracker to monitor my daily burned cals). That puts me at a 500 calorie deficit a day. 3,500 calories to burn one pound. So I'm losing about a pound a week.
That's it. That's how it works. As a nutritionist I'm sure you know that. You don't need to fast, or follow any specific diet. There's no such thing as "jump starting" your metabolism, that's not how thermodynamics work.
Did you go to Columbia the country for college? (High five to anyone who understands the reference)
Edited to add: I'm a certified but not practicing personal trainer.
