My 50th birthday present to myself

Hello All,

I'm new here and trying to lose weight for what seems like the millionth time in my life. Promised myself I wouldn't turn 30 overweight, then 40 and now I'll be 50, this coming fall. I became a Gramma last May and am hoping to get this weight off so I can keep up with my little angel face.

I'm just looking for a place to keep me accountable and I'd love to make some new friends. I'm SO hoping I can finally do it this time. Hopefully, it will be "Happy Birthday To Me" come November. :flowerforyou: Thanks!

    Welcome to the site, like you I turn 50 this November and I keep telling myself I am going to lose about 20lbs. I being on this site for over a year, I keep track of everything for a week or two and then I stop. I figure maybe if I meet some people on here I will have a little more peer pressure to stick with it..

    Hi my name's Kristen. I'm working on a 30th birthday present to me. Joined last July wanted to lose 50lbs by my 30th. I'm almost there I've got 1 more lb and 17 more days to do it. :-) mfp really works. I've tried tons of things but this is the only thing that has worked. :-)
  • Hello -- I will be turning 44 soon and hope to be in great shape by the time I am 50. I have a long way to go! One day at a time, right? I am also in TN, Nashville area. You can add me if you like.
