New to the Site--Old to Weight Loss!

YoungerNextYear59937

I had a meeting with a personal trainer yesterday who determined exactly what my body was made up of and gave me advice about how to lose the fat I need to. She also suggested MFP, I came home and joined, and so far I'm pleasantly surprised! I will be 53 on Saturday and although I'm open to communicating with people of different age groups, I would be particularly interested in what those of you 40 and over have to say!

I've been here for about 1 month and have lost about 15lbs. I love it!!!! The support is great and it's easier than WW. Feel free to add me as friend and we can support each other. BTW, I'm 48.

Hello Im new to this site and was wondering how other people have been using it. I am looking for a support network and to help encourage other people as well. I noticed that there are not a lot of men on here either. If you would like friend me too.

My goal is to lose 25 pounds in the next couple of months. I really have only started two weeks ago and already lost 8 pounds. I have been doing a lot of cardio and weight training.

Any advice would be helpful. I hope to hear from some people!!

I am 40 years old and I really love this site..it really has me thinking differently about food. No more stereotypical you can eat any carbs, stay away from certain types sugars, no salts, etc. MFP had taught me moderation and how to really watch how much of what kinds of things I am eating. I have on occasion eaten a cookie or had buttered popcorn and still LOST WEIGHT!! I exercise and I log my meals as I eat them I have been successful thus far and i know it works if you work it. I have lost weight before on my own but I always seem to gain it back. I feel so empowered now with this site I know there is no going back now. Because I can actually see what I am putting in my body. MFP took the guess work out!!
