my weight goes in my stomach and once again I got asked at gym are you pregnant? Not so cute and funny when you are in your 50's and have grand kids!
I have yo yo'd and tried many diets and came to the conclusion that eating less of healthy food and exercise is the only way.
So when I looked for the best app for calories this one had the best ratings by the most people!
Hope i can make some friends to help along the way. I live in the mountains, work part time at B & B, and belong to a bookclub.

Diets are not the greatest to begin with. MFP is more of a lifestyle change. My first two weeks of cutting out crap and keeping on track for exercising was very hard for me as I am a creature of routine, but now a month later and its part of my routine. Good luck in your journey here0

Hi, welcome! I'm rather new myself and want to lose about 20 pounds, preferably by summer, but i've given myself a year just in case, so about the same situation , because.... it's all in my tummy and i can't stand in. So far i'm here for about two weeks and as on track i've lost 2 pounds so far ^^
If you want send me a friend request and we'll do it together!0 -
I just joined last week & have the same short-term goal to lose 20 pounds by my birthday in mid-August. My long-term goal is to lose a total of 90 pounds & keep it off for good! I too have yo-yo'ed back and forth over the past 10+ years, but recently losing my full-time job has given me the extra time to devote totally to taking care of myself while looking for another job. I also gain weight the most in my belly area--it's common trouble spot for women I've been told.
This seems like a great place for support & tracking everything here is so simple & kinda fun to watch each day! This site was recommended to me by a girfriend from highschool who just became a personal fitness coach & looks amazing.
Best wishes & know that I'll be right there with ya through this journey! :>0 -
Welcome to MFP!
This is one of the best sites out there! The support and info you find here is pretty good.
Feel free to add me as a friend if you (or anyone else) needs a motivator. I wasn't much for playing sports but I'm a great cheerleader!!0
