    I have about 50-65 pounds to lose. I've gained and lost several times and now I'm surrendering to the fact that it is a lifestyle. I can't "go off the wagon". I've just turned 45 and have two sons 14 & 12. My 14 year old really wants me to play soccer as he knows it's something I love but right now I'm just carrying too much weight to run around.

    You know what really ticks me off? Is that all through my teen years and my early 20's I thought I was fat. No just 5'10" and not a size 0 (not that that size even existed back then - in the olden days). I recently found a skirt that I wore in my late teens and it's ittee bittee. Argh. So much time wasted.

    I've been exercising for a couple of years but the weight hasn't shifted. My cardio health has definitely improved but now I'm paying closer attention to my diet. Presumably I'm not defective and I have just been eating too many calories.

    I'm happy for any of you to add me as I could sure use a kick in the butt some days (but be nice about the butt whooping okay?).

  • I am in the same boat as eveyone else. Feel free to add me. Include a message about where you found me. I comment and send motivation whenever I can, so would love to have friends like that. :)

    Hello all! My name is Connie and I am 47. I live in south central Tennessee. I have 100 pounds to lose and have been battling weight all my life. It seems that I start off highly motivated and do well for a short time, then fall off the planet and gain it all back. I have a hard time staying motivated, but I NEED to do this! I have high blood pressure now and am borderline diabetic. Please add me and I will help you too.
