    Good job Matthew. I'm 46. Rejoined today. Looking to lose about 50lbs. Need it gone by tomorrow. May take longer. Did you add a lot of strength training to your regime?

    Hello, My name is Jo. I am 46. Been overweight way too long. I can control what I eat if I try I just do not try. i think that is just lazy and I am so tired of being so lazy that I do not care about me. I have been on this program for about 5 days now and due to water weight also I have lost 9 pounds. Now I am creeping along, but that is o.k. Just as long as it is going down and not up. I am good. I wish you all luck. We can all do this. I KNOW WE CAN.

    Hi there. I just joined today. I'm 61, live in Boise Idaho and I need to lose 65 pounds. I was at my doctor's this morning. I noticed he was about 30 pounds lighter since I saw him 3 months ago. I congratulated him and then he told me he had a heart attack just about 3 months ago. He is only 50. He then told me about myfitnesspal. So here I am. I would like to correspond.

    Leon
