Hi, I'm 59 years old and started working on weight loss on Feb 28 of this year. I've lost 45 pounds so far, so I'm almost at the half way mark. I use mfp and UP, both of which I've added in the last month. I'm on a low(ish) carb natural foods diet -- trying to keep the carbs under 45 per day. I try to walk 10,000 steps a day (usually successful) which they say is five miles. I do yoga 3 times a week, and do a bike ride once or twice a week, although it's hard right now due to heat and hurricane season (RAIN!).

I'm looking for some similar friends for mutual support on this long path.

    I am just getting started and am 48 years old. 45 pounds since February is very impressive! Feel free to friend me. I am all about giving mutual support and encouragement. We are all in this together!!!

    Thanks Garden Girlie! I've had friends in the past encourage me to try surgery, but, for one thing, I tend to get terrible internal scars from surgery, and, for another, that doesn't really do anything about food/sugar addiction, does it?
