I have never been successful on diet. I even gained weight after 3 straight months of weight watchers. I've signed up for mfp before zero results, I've food journaled, did couch to 5k and even ran a half marathon last year where I was eating so much I put on fat in the process. Now I am totally out of shape. In my head at age 41 I still think it's perfectly fine to eat two snickers bars and bravos for dinner in my car on the drive home. I know my problem is terrible unhealthy eating. So I'm here once again I made it to 9:44 and have only eaten 1 egg and a tablespoon of cheddar cheese. If I could only keep to 3 small meals a day if I could only not feel hungry all the time if I....blah blah blah. So I have some strong motivator incentives planned. So. Goal 1 is ten pounds. Goal 2 is 8 more. Just to see if I can really do this. I'm not grossly overweight but I used to fit in a 4 and now can barely fit in an 8 so my clothes don't fit and I am very doughy and soft I just want to feel like myself again

Hi there! I am 40 years old and I am working on my last 20lbs. I started at 161lbs, am now at 140lbs and my goal is 120lbs. I has been a struggle for me but I have found it much easier now that I have MFP friends to support, motivate and inspire me. I also used WW for many years and find that MFP is a lot more accurate and the online community is just awesome. Feel free to add me if you want supportive and positive friends to help you along your journey. Good luck and stay strong. You can totally do this!
