It worked for me before.

Hi! I'm 47, married and have 2 boys, 10 1/2 & 14. I lost 42 pounds by using MFP about 9 years ago and kept it off for several years. It was a wonderful time and really changed my life! I'd always been overweight, but was just trying to take off some excess pregnancy weight and get back to my normal, slightly overweight self. I got in the groove though and just kept going. I got down to size 8 and for the first time since I was about 12 years old, I didn't have to put the scale on 150 and add. I never even dared to DREAM I could do that. At my best I'd been a size 12, in the past. I looked and felt better at age 40 than ever in my LIFE. A foot injury and then several consecutive trials got the better of me though and I gradually gained back the majority of the weight over the next 3+ years, starting at about age 44. Honestly, I've tried over and over, and here I am again. I won't quit though. I'm guaranteed NOT to be successful if I quit trying, so I refuse to quit, even though I've been really down and discouraged a few times. I hit a low point recently, feeling so huge, with almost none of my clothes fitting...even the bigger ones I bought last year. I CAN do this. I know I CAN. Let's do it together!
