  • I'm 43 and finding it hard to get started. I do ok for a day or two, then bam... Japanese food with white sauce and chocolate cake. I have started working out though.... I've got 50 lbs to loose, but just want to really get to the first 10 before I think about the rest.

    I'm 52 ... Harder to lose weight then in my younger years, but already feel better. Seeing the results is also a motivator...
  • I will be 40 this year. I really want to get healthy before 40.

    41yrs old. I have lost 26lbs so far and I am very excited that I found a program that is working so well for me.
    Good luck to all of you on your healthy weight loss journey!!!
  • 46 today ..it's just a number..hopefully by the number 50 - the scale will have the right number! ;P
  • Hey there, I'm 50 and here once again doing this. I joined Weight Watchers today too. I need friends too through this battle.
    I've given up so many times just to gain more weight, just to get even more depressed. Argh.... I'm determined this time to stick to it. ~Ellen :happy:
    Oh and I don't want to look like that profile pic of mine. I have approx 44lbs to lose.

    I will be 53 in two days. I'd like to lose 30 lbs, I'm loving MFP but the true test will be maintaining. I've been down this road too many times to count. I just can't keep it off. So hopefully with MFP it will be different.
