    Hello All- Would like to join/follow this Group. I've used MFP successfully in the past, until I get lazy and stop. I wanted to get through the Holidays and then wanted to get past my 50th birthday last weekend. Ready now, need to lose 30 to get where I want to be. Live in Colorado and want to enjoy the activities I moved here for! Eating healthy is not my problem so much as the daily wine or beer. I can't seem to lose weight without giving that up. Anyone else?

    slider678, Hi there! I drive a Jeep Liberty because I can sleep in it and take my big dog with me on my jaunts. I went to Utah for a week to Escalante in August of 18 to hike, it was great- problem being, I'm a weekend warrior, but ride the pine desk during the week, (I'm in Law Enforcement) I thought about the Stones Concert, but I already live in Colorado- too many clouds!

    Sounds awesome...Pictured you in a '66 drop top Mustang on route 66!

    Nooooo Just found out that my scales are up the creek...have ordered new ones, but suspect that I have a lot more weight to lose than I thought.

    @LynnJ9, love that meme!!

    @asugar1390, welcome to the tribe!

    @FlyGirlBea, hope this is resolved soon! Love your pastor’s quote and great meme!

    @JustaJoe00, so far so good. How’s your week?

    @channingg3649, congrats on not binging out today.

    @amlelas68, you’ve got this. Like my profile page says 1-Start; 2-Don’t quit!

    Having a good day. Feeling kind of sluggish but that’s probably due to the rejection Nashville is feeling from the sunshine. I need the sun!!!!

    Count me in at age 57. 24 lbs to lose. On my way with a pretty good start for only a few weeks.

    Hello All- Would like to join/follow this Group. I've been on and off MFP afew times over the past years and find it helpful, until I get lazy and stop using it. Made excuses through the Holidays and then wanted to get past my 50th birthday last weekend. Ready now, need to lose 30 to get where I want to be. Live in Colorado and want to enjoy the activities I moved here for! Eating healthy is not my problem so much as the daily wine or beer. I can't seem to lose weight without giving that up.

    you definitely can...just plan it in. may lose a little slower but gotta be able to stand what you are doing and make it a lifestyle change that is livable.

    Green smoothies. Spinach, green grapes, strawberries, green apple, pear, flax seeds, liquid of choice (water or Iberia aloe drink). These items use small portion of each. With liquid added my average size drinks are about 16 ozs. I enjoy the taste and dies my body food. I am ready to eat about 3 hours later. For a little bit more staying power add your fav vanilla protein powder. Enjoy
