Hi. I'm new here and tired of feeling tired.

I am 55 years old and have worked in an office for the past 17 years. I Have tried various weight loss programs to no avail. I am hoping that I can reach my goal weight of 130 pounds by next year.

    Welcome...this has been a fantastic tool for me. I, too, am over 50, worked in an office for most of my adult life and decided to make some major changes in my life. One of them is to take off this butt that I have gained over the past few years. Hooking up with friends and encouraging others has helped me. Good luck and keep up the good work!!

    Thank you everyone! I think what I have been lacking is a good support system. You have all given me hope tht this time I can lose the weight and keep it off.
