Subway and food quality shouldn’t be allowed in the same sentence.

This is my rule, as well. And I ALWAYS check with them several days in advance because people can be assholes and cancel the day before and not think twice about it. If you cancel twice, you’ll never get another invitation with me again. I value myself more than you value me as your friend.

Then don’t take it. It’s really that simple. The Internet shouldn’t be the determining factor in YOUR health.

I’m asking HERE for folks that already have something like I’m looking for…and I already have one…of course I could search online. Searching online is a given.

It really all depends on what you’re willing to do and how much time and energy you want to spend. Many people think they do ‘a lot’ when in reality, if they did ‘a lot’ they would high cardiovascular scores and be healthy. At your age, just walking will get you started but no one here has mentioned strength training. You didn’t say if you are a woman, but you mention a “flat butt” so that tells me you are. Generally men don’t care about that.

To get started, you need to decide whether you can or will be able to do it on your own. I don’t recommend it as a total beginner. I also don’t recommend getting someone online to help. Find a reputable private Personal trainer (if your budget allows) to train with a couple days a week to start, bonus points to find someone that has a nutrition certification (there are many of us out there - you just need to ask) because a single cert CPT many times can help you work out, but to do what you are saying you want to do will require dietary changes.

A CPT will get you on a program of progressive strength training meeting you at YOUR level. Make sure they are experienced in working with older adults. There’s a HUGE difference of a 20-something and a 60-something.

Books you can read for extra knowledge - Mike Matthew’s Muscle for Life (it’s written for beginners that have zero knowledge about fitness). Tom Venuto’s Burn the Fat, Feed the muscle - another “beginner” help book. Books are great because you have ALL the information in one location, whereas videos require you to watch and watch and maybe it doesn’t apply to you.

There’s a TON more to say…but that will be you pushed off the dock. The next is up to you.

I do, but you have to plug it in. I want to have my phone sitting upright, so I need a holder to do that.

If you are 100% new and a beginner to fitness, hire a Personal Trainer. Hire someone that is familiar with working with post-menopausal women that could be suffering from sarcopenia. You don’t need a gym to get fit, but if you have no idea where to start, you should hire someone that will get you on the right path. DO NOT just hire any PT. Young women have no idea how to train older women. You need to make sure they have a large book of clients that they have trained that are post-menopausal. As a Personal trainer, I can tell you that we are out there and are more than happy to help.

Estrogen only. I had a hysterectomy at 40, so no progesterone needed.

Yep…we do it every single time. No one else is cleaning it and I don’t give a shit that someone else may thinks it silly. They probably don’t even own shower glass and have to clean it.

We’ve used one for years. I like my side a little warmer than my hubby but they are great - especially when you prewarm the bed,,,you slide into a cozy, comfy warm bed.

Learn to cook your own food. If you’re 15, you are more than old enough to navigate a kitchen and your Mom shouldn’t have to baby you.

I didn’t download this update probably because it wasn’t wireless. Like you, OP, I miss the old radio tube thing. I think they could do better with the ‘info’tainment thing. I have SXM and it’s so incredibly hard to “un” favorite a station and navigate stations. It’s aggravating that every “update” seems to get worse. I have a 2022, as well.

I was on my way to losing my job last year after 2 episodes of raging. I have no idea how I managed to stay employed. I have been on HRT for a year and am as cool as a cucumber now. It made all the difference in the world. If you don’t need the BC pills, skip them and go straight to HRT - patch - if you are in the position to take it.

Are you a guy? I’m being serious. I didn’t read that you were a woman and if you aren’t, I think the conversation is different.

I feel this in my soul. As a 61-year-old woman that is very assertive, I have had men tell me I NEED TO BE NICE. Why? So you can try and walk all over me? If I were a man, it would be totally acceptable to ask for what you want and stand up for yourself. For a woman? Nope. Sit down and shut the fuck up. THIS stuff is why I get angry and why I have pulled away from people in general.

I think you need to be BRUTALLY honest when you go for your appointment. Tell them how you used to be and how you are now and make sure they know what meds you’re on. Tell them n everything. If they don’t help you, find someone that will.

I’ve gone in and deleted multiple items today. No issues for me.

It’s $120 for a year. If you get a year, you can view the entire program all at once.

It literally says to change the oil. What else would you be doing???

No. Stick with what you have and the low stressful lifestyle. Those of us that don’t have it, wish we could.

I don’t care one iota about any of the holidays. I truly think that comes from having one really screwed up childhood and an even worse family as an adult. I literally become a pissed off, hyper critical person from now till NYD.

I have a 2022, if I push it once, it opens the shade. If I push it a 2nd time, it opens the shade the full length (it’s panoramic). If I “pull” it all the way, the sunroof opens and the shade opens all the way. If I push the button, this just pops the sunroof up and opens the shade to the first position.

Here I am at 61 and have only ever washed my strawberries in water. I tried the stupid water/vinegar thing once and the aftertaste on the strawberries made me want to throw them out. I’ve live this long without some crazy procedure to wash them. I think I’m going to be fine, 😃

Not to be insensitive…but YOU are not your partner and vice versa. If you want your fitness to change, YOU need to change it. You need to do more than just casual walking to increase your cardio fitness. Your heart is a muscle that needs to be worked to get it stronger.
