Hi everyone! I just joined today. After being on the diet rollercoaster since my teens, I AM READY TO GET OFF THAT RIDE! I am looking forward to eating healthier and exercising regularly again! What's the hardest, is getting started! I work odd hours, so cannot exercise in the morning like I really prefer to do. I am married, have two daughters away at college, 4 dogs, and work full time plus. I'm looking for women near my age who are also wanting to get healthier and want to get and give support to each other! :happy:

I'm in your age group and started this a week ago. I'm doing pretty well with keeping within my calorie range, but got sidelined this week with a nasty cold, so exercise isn't happening. I'm finding it very helpful to log in all the food I eat - makes me more accountable. It's easier during the week when my husband isn't home. Weekends when he wants to eat a lot more food seems to be a challenge. I've also given up sugar, which has helped me a lot.

I'm in your age group but I not real new. I've been on here since the very end of October and I've lost a total of 34lbs (I lost 10 before starting MFP). I have a long way to go and have found that being older, weight loss for me is real slow. But I'm in it to win it with God's help. You'll love this program, it's great and there are a lot of nice people here who are very encouraging. Feel free to add me as a friend if you'd like. All the best on your journey!
