Hi Ladies,
I'm 50 yrs old, looking for others who are having a difficult time losing those hard few pounds. I need the motivation and support. Is anyone else in the same boat? I'm tall (5'10') so some say I hide the excess but I am well aware of the presence of the extra poundage. I'm a mom of a 12 year old and I'm a teacher- busy, busy. Has anyone found any great tips?

    Hi there. I'm 48 and trying to lose 25 pounds. Been doing this for 2 weeks and I've dropped 4 pounds, but I'm not sure if all of that is entirely real. Feel great though, especially being in control of my eating.

    I hope to get at least a profile picture soon.

    Feel free to add me - I am 48 and have been trying pretty hard for about a year to get this extra off. It doesn't want to budge! I've tried 1200 diet, I've tried the Eat More to Lose way, I've tried Insanity and now I'm trying New Rules. I've never had this hard of a time getting my weight to budge so I'm thinking its got to be my age kicking in. Everyone says its as easy as calories in versus calories burned but I'm having a hard time believing its that easy as I've gone for weeks and been really diligent in logging and exercising and still not see a pound lost. I'm getting ready to go the dr. for an exam and blood work so we will see if there are any other things going on. Its depressing to say the least but I am going to keep on pressing on until I find something that works!

    Feel Free to add me. 48 with 29 pounds to go but would be happy with 19! Of course the 19 is what I had originally lost and gained back. :blushing:

    Feel free to add me! I am 47, 5'2" and would like to lose 20 pounds. My 30 year high school reunion is at the end of April so I am totally motivated to get this weight off by then (I only weighed 98 lbs at graduation). I am currently doing the Jillian Michaels body revolution in the mornings and also doing cardio in the afternoons 3-4 times a week. I have also cut out sweets (my weakness). Good luck to you!
