I joined back in the early Spring. I was doing quite well, until about a month ago. Since then I have lost my willpower/self control to the point of bingeing. So, I;ve lost 28 net lbs. and haven't been able to lose any more. I could use a friend to help me stay on course. I am a 58yr. old woman, a grandmother, and I have at least 30 more lbs. to lose.:smile:

    Keep going - I know what you mean about losing will power. I have done that a # of times. Are tracking your calories / fitness? I have typically gone back to my eating bad eating habits when I didn't want to workout anylonger. thinking where I am at was just fine, until I packed on an additional 20lbs over a few months. ACK.
    I just started MFP too, and hope that tracking my calories and building a social group can help. you logged in today, so that is a pretty good sign you are not ready to give up.

    Dont ever give up...Good luck. do your next workout today, track your calories.

    A partner in any weight loss effort is very helpful. I used to go to the gym with my sister and we kept each other on track. I now go to a different gym and find it very hard to make myself go on a consistant basis. I am turning 65 in a few weeks and also have another 30 pounds to go. If I can help you I would be happy to.

    Thank you, for the encouraging words I appreciate it. I do need to start working out with my weights, again all I've been doing is walking which is good, but maybe not enough. Thanks, again. Good luck to you, also.

    Thank you, my sister and I used to report to each other (she lives in Wisc. I live in Mn.) how we did with our food plans and our exercise plans and I was doing quite well. But, she has decided to stop and since then I have not been doing well. So, you are right a partner is very helpful. Thanks, for answering my post.
