Newbie here...

Good Luck to you! I am new on here too and I cant count how many times I've lost weight just to gain it back and then some. I am on Day 7 of the Beachbody Power 90 In Home Boot Camp. I am trying not to set numbers for myself just in case I dont reach them and get discouraged so I am going to consider any amount of weight and/or inches lost a WIN.
We will all be successful, just have to take it one day at a time and make ourselves exercise every day just make the commitment to do it. I actually made a work out calendar that I put on my bedroom wall and I mark off each day I exercise. It, in a way, holds me accountable because my husband can see it too and if a day isnt checked off, he holds be accountable for that and I actually feel bad/guilty when I dont exercise. I am determined that this will be the last time I restart a weight loss plan.

Keep pushing. Keep moving and we will all reach our goals, just take it one day at a time.

New to this and would love to be friends and do this together!

My mom is 67 and quit smoking a few years ago and has diabetes. She is in the obese range and needs an inhaler if she walks more than 15 minutes. She has been overweight her whole life, but when her grandchildren were born, she has 6 of them now, she decided to make a change. We saw a nutritionist and an occupational therapist. She has lost 40 pounds in the last 2 years and I am so very proud of her. She has had both knees replaced and fought cancer... but she says weight loss is her biggest challenge. She sees a therapist once a month because she says she eats to comfort herself and goes to weight watchers. This year she went to Disney and did not need her inhaler and swam with the kids. Her diabetes is better controlled and she has more energy. She swims 3 times a week and walks about 2 miles a day and rides an indoor bike or rowing machine for 30 minutes. I guess what I am saying is that no matter how old or young you are, taking care of yourself is the biggest gift you can give to yourself, your children and your grandchildren. I saw my nephew, who is 3, do curls with my hand weight. When I asked him what he was doing he said "making my bones strong". I said "you mean your muscles" and he said "no, auntie, my bones. Grandma showed me how to make my bones strong." My mom is my hero and a wonderful role model and grandmother. By the way she turns 71 next week and no longer needs blood pressure meds!!!

Good luck to you. I too am new on this "MyFitnessPal" I have journaled 10 days now and I have lost 2 lbs so far. I am really trying to cut back on carbs and sugars b/c i have fibromylagia and i know sugar is not good for me. It hasn't been quite as bad as i thought it might be. I hope i can stick to it. I want to loose 10 lbs and then hopefully another 5. I am at the age that i don't care if i am skinny anymore but just be able to fit back into my clothes I was in 2 yrs ago. I had lost 15 lb and gained it back in 2 yrs and it is very frustrating. Try and drink as much water as you can b/c that does help you along.
GOOD LUCK!
