in Introduce Yourself
Hiya,
Looking for an accountability partner for a 15 lb loss over the next 2-3 months.
I'm female, 54 and looking to get into summer shape so it's not another fat summer.
Anybody interested? Women only please.

    I am 55 with more to lose but since I expect to be here for awhile I am also looking for support from like minded losers, I log in every day.

    Cheers,

    YAY! Let's do it! Maybe we can get a little group going.
    First, congrats on 27 lbs gone! That's a great accomplishment.
    What plan are you following? I'm loving the food and exercise tracker here. Love that I can check in from any device.

    I'm basically vegetarian but eat eggs and some dairy. I did Fat Flush last year with great temporary success but calorie deprivation is no way to live long term. I ended up going crazy and gained 15 lbs in a month and have kept it on since Sept. Time for it to go for good. AND learn how to eat properly without starving once and for all.

    I doubt anyone would ever mistake me for a woman, even in the dark, but good luck! You can do it!

    I only just turned 40 so I didn't make the cut ;) but I wanted to wish you well in your journey =) Age doesn't make us fabulous, how you move what you have and think with what you've got makes us fabulous ;) And in my books, having what it takes to turn your health around and get in shape is pretty darn fabulous lol

    Good luck ! You can do it!

    The more the merrier!!

    Agreed~ Age is just a state of mind. Some days I feel like a teenager. Some days, not so much.
    What generally makes the biggest difference for me is how well I'm eating and exercising.
    It's nice when everything is humming!

    I do 30 mins on the treadmill 5-6 days a week. Trying to include some strength training.
    I tried Wii Fit but I didn't love being reminded that I missed a day or 2...
    I find I have to do something first thing in the am or I don't do it at all.
    What's your favorite exercise routine?

    I've been on for a little over 2 weeks. I'm 53 and have about 105 more pounds to lose. Anyone looking for friends for support, encouragement and butt kicking, please feel free to add me. I need them all too!

    I would love to be a part of this group. I'm going on 52 years old and was losing weight consistently and tracking on MFP until I started menopause a year ago June 14. Since then my weight has stalled and out of frustration I've gained 10 lbs of it back. I recently switched to vegetarian lifestyle to see if that gets me back to losing again. I have been eating healthy no processed food for awhile now, I think it would be nice to be part of a group of 50s and fabulous.
