I need this, @Slider678 -- thank you for this thread! If you look at my diary, which to my shame I am keeping open, you'll see that last night I went off the rails again (drank too much, so naturally ate too much too, at a really fun wedding). I need to learn how to live a moderate lifestyle instead of all or nothing. Will happily accept friend/connections to help!

Nice to find a group with this short term goal. I need it! Man, it’s been a roller coaster ride the last couple of years but when I hit nearly 200 in April I said, “Enough is enough...”. So I’m proud to be down 10 since. I felt great in my 20s at 160 but giving myself some liberty in my 50s for the 170 goal. Heck, if I decide to go for the 160s at 170? That’ll be gravy after losing 17 from this point right?!?2 -

Hi,
Been off of My Fitness Pal for a long time. I have gained back most of what I lost when I frist joined years ago so now it is time to get myself back on track and logging my food is the best way to do so even if I think that it is time consuming and time is something that there is never enough of.

More important that then number on the scale... feel comfortable in my own skin again and recognize my reflection.
Favorite Calorie Burning Activity: Hiit workouts and walks in the woods.
Biggest Challenge to meeting your Goals: Food and getting distracted by life and all the musts and being social.
A Guilty Pleasure: Chocolate and ice cream.
I'm 6'1'' and 43 years old (it's so much harder loosing weight now days).
Good luck everyone!1
