    Hi, my name is Renee and I am 49 and I sometimes feel alone in this cause all my friends are either skinny or work. where as I work part time, like to ride my bike and walk for fitness. I would love to be in a support group cause I sure need it. I just started a diet of 1200 calories and am trying not to eat after supper. Thats usually when I grab the sweets so if I don't eat after dinner I won't be grabbing those sweets. We'll see:))

    HI!, I am 48 and I am an Olympian Yoyo Dieter...I have gained and lost the same 70ish pounds roughly a dozen times. I know how to lose weight but I don't know how to maintain, I am a classic perfectionist, if I am going to do something I do it all the way...I don't park further from the door in the parking lot, I park in the next town over. So of course, when I can no longer maintain the over the top then I start to slip back into the "why bother"...not sure how to fix me, but here I am starting once again...and while I am in the "all the way" mode i can be a great motivator and companion to weight lose. So I would like to join the group to see where it will take me this time...
  • Hi. I'm a 50 year old female who is interested in finding meals that work. I am restricting my carb intake to only sprouted whole grains, but staying within my daily calorie allotment. Hubby (who is also 50) has no interest in losing weight or eating better, so although the processed crap is limited, it still makes it way into the pantry for his liking. I'm happy I found this blog, as I would love to not do this alone, ya know?

    So .... I see a lot of people saying "count me in" since this thread started in March. Did anyone actually go over to the group section and start a group that you've all joined?

    Don't keep me in suspense!

    Since you mentioned it. I went to look and didn't find any that were really active so if anyone else knows please post about it.

    I just turned 50. I think I've lost about 72 pounds in the last 36 weeks, but I have another 38 to go. I'm continuing to lose about two pounds a week through about 15 hours a week of hard workouts and moderate eating. I feel like I'm in control of the weight loss thing, and so my mind tends to turn more towards getting the most out of the fitness training I'm doing. So, if you think that's a fit, count me in.

    I don't think we're a "group" yet, as I couldn't find it, either. Does anyone know how to do this?

    I would love to be part of your group. The older I get, the harder it is to get rid of the weight.

    I'm pretty sure you just go to the groups area and then hit the link to "Start a Group" all the way over on the right hand side. (With the big "plus sign" next to it."
