    Hi - my starting weight three weeks ago was 262. I have been losing and gaining 5 lbs over the past three weeks. I know I need to drink more water and be more scrupulous about meal planning and getting to the grocery store to ensure I have the proper food in the house. I'd love to have friends in the same weight as myself and track progress together - I am 60 years old, 5ft 6inches. Dr. has me seeing her on August 19th to check weight, BP and blood sugar - I've GOT to do this!

    Just had to comment you look no where near 60!

    Hi - I've got 100+ lbs. to lose. It seems so overwhelming. It's helpful to have others to share struggles with, so I found this board. To get started, I'm just trying to stay within my calorie range and shoot for a 10 lb. loss in 2 months. That at least sound doable. Any tips? I'm 63 years old and have a desk type job.

    My starting weight 3 and a half years ago was 266.8; I've lost over 110 lbs and kept it off for over a year. You're welcome to friend me; my diary is not open at the moment, but from time to time it is. What worked for me was doing it slowly - losing a pound per week, even though many with that much to lose set their deficit to lose 2 pounds per week. There's nothing wrong with that! I wasn't ready/willing to make that big a change in my eating habits, so setting my deficit to lose 1 pound a week gave me plenty of calories to eat.

    Hi I’m in the same boat as you, 60 years old and 5’6”, 237 lbs, need to lose about 80 lbs. I just recently gained the 40 pounds I lost on weight watchers last year so I downloaded this appointment to do my calorie tracking. I need help and motivation, I have found it impossible to start the last 6 months but now I’m ready and newly committed! Let’s track progress together and motivate each other, that would help me. My name is Wendy.

    Hi, I'm at 278lbs. Been trying to lose weight forever but feel like I have a better control over my portions and emotions by writing in a journal and using a scale. Please add me! Anyone else can add me too!

    Add me please! I'm 250 and just starting. Would love to have some friends to keep me motivated. Seeing that others are sticking with it and logging their food helps alot. I dont always eat the healthiest butmy goal is to eat healthier and under my calorie budget. Good luck to everyone!
