Hey over 50 ladies! Get in here, Let's talk

Sitting here tonight I thought about something else I wanted to ask. Anybody else have absolutely freezing feet? The rest of me is fine but my feet are so cold. Been sleeping with a heating pad for my frozen toes.

Yes. I put my feet into the sleeves of a down jacket in bed, whilst I'm under a down comforter! Much of my fat is gone and my metabolism is somewhat lower with these GLP effects. I'm keping my circulation up with 90 minutes/day of road bicycle, but my finger/toe extremities are usually cold. Drinking hot water helps even just to hold the cup.

I’m almost 63. Semaglutide didn’t work for me, switched to Tirz, lost 80 lbs; still 40 lbs from goal but I swear my body is changing shape despite not losing right now. I’m on Reta and Tirz (4 mg of each), glutathione, NAD+, GH, KLOW and Melanotan. In menopause. My feet get cold easily so I sleep in knitted slipper socks. I’ve had an itching issue that was recently attributed to menopause.. I’ve not been a normal weight since age 3. I use a vibration plate and walk a lot. Had a duodenal switch w/biliopancreatic diversion in 2001; lost 120 lbs from that, then could not lose unless I was under extreme stress and those losses came back. Nothing worked until Tirz. I’ve lost more slowly, but it’s coming off so I’m happy.

I've gotta say I'm thrilled to see there are so many of us here! 😀😍

I don't always identify with the things the younger ladies are doing as far as lifestyle and diet. I'm aware that it's important for me to get nutrition! I can't starve myself and not have cramps and bathroom problems. It may be a slower path but it's what I have to do so I can lose and still be healthy. I'm a cancer survivor and I think the chemo did a number on some of my bodily functions as far as needing the vitamins and minerals in food. No more starving diets to lose 20lbs quick. I would be hurting for sure.

The other thing is exercise. I'm a self identified fat old lady with a bunch of ortho problems. My joints hurt and I can pull a muscle without even trying. I'm gonna just ease into the working out. I see some people saying it's not super important at first when you're still very over weight but who knows. This is a new frontier of weight loss and there are probably things we don't know yet.

Consider going to a swim pool and maybe just walking back and forth starting in the shallow end. Just swinging your arms in the water is a good no-impact exercise. You go girl...
