    I keep pumpin’ the breaks but 50 keeps coming at me faster and faster each day. How the hell did I get to 50 so dang fast? Hell with the way I’ve lived I am shocked I made it this close to 50. I’ll be raising that 50 banner with pride when I get there. Then again I still have three weeks, a lot could happen in three weeks.
    I just wish I was arriving at 50 a little less worse for the wear, but all things considered just to cross that mark for me will be an accomplishment.

    I'm right behind you Dave! But I'm fighting it every step of the way!

    I'm going to start telling my friends who are 35+ that they're middle aged

    I'm sure they'll appreciate that, TnT. I laughed out loud when I read it!

    Don't worry. They claim diabetes is reversible now. Much better to catch it as pre-diabetes though. I was able to roll back all my numbers from pre- to a no diabetes state.

    Hi Momi2ashlynn! I'm 42 as well and I had hoped to be where I wanted by 40....I didn't make it, but I'm on my way there! It's funny how friends drop off when our priorities change. I've had the same thing happen. Even one of my best friends I've knows for 30 years...

    Good morning jennordhavn! You can do it!! I have lost 71# so far, but have about 70ish to go...If I can, so can you!! Add me if you like and we can keep each other encouraged. I haven't been counting anything this go around just watching what I'm eating. That and I go to the gym 5 days a week.

    Hi JayByrd! I don't have a fitbit anymore, I use an apple watch. My fitbit kept breaking/dying. Do you find it helps you move more? I know that I do. I have a competition with my friend to see who can get more steps per month... She's kicking my *kitten*! LOL

    I use a tracker from striiv. It has a fun little game with it where real world steps translate into progress in game. I think it helped me keep going. Then I found MFP now all of you keep me pushing to new limits. Anyone who has not please add me.

    Hi there! I"m a diabetic...I have been trying to lose weight for five years with no success. I finally gave in to meds and it still feels like an uphill battle. I"m smiling and making 100% effort. I"m vegan, try to be active, and I refuse to let these genes dictate my life!!! Add me if you are having similar issues--I'd love some company!
