I've a hard battle ahead of me, female 58

PaulaKac

Hi,
I'm 58 and sad to say I've let myself go for many years. On June 28th 2014 i went to the doctor. I didn't want to get on the scale, but when I finally did, it read 400 pounds. My doctor and I had a long talk, well lets say she talked and I cried. I've been down this road so many times, but this is the heaviest I've ever been. My doctor told me about myfitnesspal and I logged on right after I got home, and everyday since. It's a big eye opener logging in my food and I'm making better choices. I have to make it all the way this time. I want a better life than the one I've been living.

Good Luck to you. You will find a lot of support on this website. I am 50 and started my weight loss/shape up effort about six weeks ago using MFP. I have lost 11 pounds so far. It took a few weeks to see the first pounds come off. This could be because I was using a variety of different scales because I didn't have one at home. I do now.
