    Hi Gayle and welcome to the site!

    I started over a year ago and hit a bump last summer. I'm back at it and determined to get rid of the extra fat.
    I'm 55 years young and currently at 180, looking to get down to 130ish (depends how I feel and look to myself).
    I use Walk away the pounds (Leslie Sansone) for my cardio, and I use a kettlebell workout for strength training.

    Fell free to add me, my diary is open to public.

    Hi! I am 49 years old and I have struggled with my weight since my last child was born 23 years ago. Terrible isn't it? In my 30s I tried WW and lost 49 pounds. Then I went back to graduate school and then all the weight came back and then some. Over the past few years, I have lost about 30 pounds. 10 pounds came back on even though I started running. My clothes are getting tighter and I am so frustrated I could cry. I have tried WW again, calorie counting, South Beach diet and keep gaining and losing the same 10 pounds.
    I need a diet buddy or buddies to keep me motivated.

    I am 55 and started about 3 months ago. This site is so helpful and has really made accountable to myself. And I don't want to mess up this time. All my life I have had weight issues, When I was in 7th grade and weighed 105, I thought I was fat. When I was a teenager and all the other girls were slim and I weighed 150, I thought I was fat. Now at 55, I hit nearly 300 and I KNOW I am fat. My starting weight on January 17 was 271. Today I am at 238 and I feel better, am exercising and am determined to do this. Anybody want to be my friend, please do. I will be here for a while.

    Hi - I am Ginger and started about two weeks ago. So far I have lost 6 1/2 lbs. I am 56 years old and my doctor put the fear of God in me so I am very motivated (blood sugar too high). So I need to lose weight, exercise, more and get that blood sugar down. Anyone with blood sugar lowering suggestions, I'd love to compare notes.

    My starting point was 213, and my first goal is 175. Doing well now, but I leave for a cruise in 2 weeks, so I hope I can keep it up.
