Started my first diet last Saturday on my 65th birthday . The first week has gone well and I have lost almost 5 lbs. This site is an amazing resource to track your progress. I`m trying to get back to the 180 lbs that I weighed when I was 40.

    Hi, if you need anymore friends to help you on your weight loss journey please feel free to add me. No pressure but I would be happy to give support if I can. I'm 53 and have gained such a lot of weight through health issues and i am now absolutely determined to lose it all. I think that I will just become a permanent MFP user, then at least I should be able to get out of the terrible habit of using food as a crutch to get me by in life. I wish you every success in your weight loss quest and feel free to message me at any time. Good luck! X

    thanks for the encouraging words Udderly. I'm finding that going to MFP daily definitely keeps me focused on the job at hand.
