Below is a link to my mom's profile here on myfitnesspal. For as long as I can remember, she's always been stressed over her weight. I'm not sure how long ago she actually joined the site, but today she finally asked me how I've lost weight and I'm hoping she was really listening to it. I keep recommending her to this site. Please please please! send her a message or respond to this thread and give her some encouragement. (especially if you are a woman over 50 years old....she could use someone to relate to I think).

    What a good thing you are doing for your mom and her health! My mom is gonna be 51 at the end of the month. She has recently hit some health issues in her life. She has been diagnosed with "Advanced COPD", and Sleep Apnea. She has to use oxygen for the rest of her life any time she is walking around. To make this a little harder she is a General Manager at a Village Inn restuarant. I got her to join MFP because her doctor said she has to loose 36 lbs. So far she is down 1 lb in 3days! I am down 10 in 30 days!

    Here is my mom's link to her profile: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ppauh - her name is paula.
