    Not sure how this works. If I hit reply at bottom is it a new post? If I hit reply to someone's comment does it still show up at the top? I tried to reply to someone and it sent it to the bottom, so I added the @username to indicate who I was replying to.

    Any tips.

    Hi everyone, I am also new to this group, I've been using MFP on and off for a few months and I have now been exercising regularly for the last 3 months. I'm 44 with 45 just around the corner and hopefully and I can get back in shape (lose 40 pounds) and learn to eat well. I'm basically looking for a lifestyle change that will stick. Looking forward to losing weight with all of you!!

    Old newbie here... I joined MFP a year ago and never really took the time to explore it and didn't try much. 2013 is here and I am determined to lose 50lbs by the end of it. Anyone feel free to add me if you would like to motivate each other... (just turned 49) so goal is to lose 50 by 50 :laugh:

    Hey everyone:
    I've been on MFP a while now but recently added to this group and didn't think to introduce myself til I stumbled across this post. Hello everyone!!! It was all or nothing for me & I was able to meet my goals (I think for the first time ever) using this site. I am now maintaining & enjoying life. I would love the motivate & support if anyone would love to add me. I now do feel fabulous at 42!

    Hi, I'm Loralea. I'll be 48 later this month. I learned about MFP through a former co-worker who just logged 100 days on here last week then hit the 40 pound weight loss milestone a few days later. Her journey and candor inspired me so I hopped on.

    I was thin most of my life but I always had to watch my weight fairly closely and stay fit to maintain. After I married in 1999 a pound here and there went on, then a severe back injury in 2006 turned my life upside down. I've adjusted to the chronic pain and lifestyle changes and I'm so grateful for what I CAN do. I just landed my dream job in November, my training is behind me, And now I want to lose what the epidurals and post-surgery inactivity put on my frame and be the strongest and best I can be.

    I'm also a member of the Lose a Pound a Week in 2013 group, and I'm considering doing the c25k soon. I live in Florida and want to be thin and enjoy going to the beach in a tiny swimsuit again. I'd also like to wear a little black dress next New Year's Eve.

    Hello to all. I wish you much success and look forward to us encouraging and enjoying one another.

    Welcome and if you need to chat or vent or be accountable join us. I will request friend
    As well. This can be a great journey. I know fro experience that I do well for a bit and then find reasons to stop. I only hurt myself in the end.
