    Well done Deb- from another Deb aged 56 and I have been on maintenance now for a year.

    Many people think it is near on impossible after 40. Clearly your evidence shows clearly that this is not the case:)

    Well done!

    Great post and a big congratulations to everyone on it. As a 50 y.o,. male and down 100 lbs., you are right. It may be more difficult but it is definitely doable. Cheers

    I appreciate the posting but this is probably better categorized under Motivation and not Success Stories

    I definitely think every one on this list represents a SUCCESS STORY--even if some are still ongoing. And if others gain Motivation from this to start or continue then that is also a Success. Thank you for the acknowledgement and the post.

    That is wonderful! Getting the weight off is the first step. Learning to keep it off is just as important! Good for you!

    100 pounds lost?? Wow! That is certainly commendable! Thanks for representing the successful men on here! :drinker: :drinker:
  • You are all doing great! I wasn't sure whether to put it under Motivation or Success, and decided on Success. Because you are all succeeding!
    Keep up the great work!

    SUCCESS was the PERFECT place to post Deb. We may not yet be at the end of our journeys, but we are SUCCESS stories to this point.
