Count me in. I am ready to get focused and loose this weight. I’m 53 years old. Started running when I turned 40 but had major injury in 2012 and never fully recovered. Would love to get back to running but for right now just focusing on some form of exercise every day. So glad I found this thread. I need the support.

“Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.” Robert Collier

A pound a week sounds reasonable ... especially for those of us over 50! Reporting in on Wednesdays since I consider that my official WI.

I'll turn 60 this year and really want to get into Onederland and make it stick this decade!

Starting Weight 205.5 lbs
Current Weight 204.5
Target Weight 170

Weekly Successes: I tracked all my meals- set up a reminder in MFP to send notification to remind me. Focused on good nutrition and water consumption. Also set up different daily calorie goals for week days vs. weekends. This allows me to splurge a little this weekend.

Weekly Challenges: Planned to start a yoga program this week but ended up with a bad cold so I delayed adding in exercise this week.

This week's successes:
This week's challenges: Started a new internship where the company provides lunch and it is all young people with high metabolisms eating carbs. I'm in my late 40's and can't eat carbs without gaining, and yet it seems churlish to skip out. Have to find a way round this.

Screw it, diving in cause why not?

Fell off the wagon for a long time, more or less. Still trying to get some basics in order, but that just means I'll have to work and catch up, now doesn't it? I'm starting a bit late, but I'll consider it as if from the start of the year anyway, so there we go...

This week's successes: Pretty awful week. For some reason, I went totally off the rails. I ate sugar like it was going to be erased from the face of the earth. I ate two servings of soup at our weekly small group and had dessert. I thought I had these meetings under control, but clearly not! I ate the rest of the fun-size M&Ms instead of getting rid of them by sending them to work or throwing them away. I’m thankful that I didn’t gain even more than I did. I think going to the gym, riding my bike, and walking helped to keep the gain from being even worse. I need to figure out why I did that. I’m not beating myself up about it, but I really want to figure out why my eating was so out of control this week.
This week's challenges: Limit sugar intake, add more veggies to my daily diet.
