    Hello. I'm new to mfp. I'm also new to calorie counting and dieting. I'll be 40 on december first. I've found it difficult to lose the 20 pounds that i've gained. I'm looking for any weight loss tips and a little encouragement!:smile:

    Welcome. I joined in Sept and so far have lost 16 lbs. Love how this works. I am 56 and want to be healthy also. Went on vacation last March with my daughter and friend from Tuscon who happens to be a trainer. I was in agony walking 3 to 5 miles a day. Next time we get together I am going to enjoy my vacation!

    Feel free to add me. I have some wonderful supportive people on here.

    I have made a commitment to log daily my food. Usually I have to finish my log the next morning but it all gets in there..... and its working!

    You can do this! One day at a time.
