    You can add me :) I'm 39, and need to lose 47 lbs! I tried last year and gave up after 5 months when i didn't lose much...I'm back and motivated to try again, but this time I'm going to try to be more involved and would like some friends to keep me motivated too!

    I turned 44 today. Last year, starting April 1, I started at 188 lbs. I now weigh about 148 lbs, with the goal of losing 8 more. Feel free to add me, since you are now sitting in the same place I was a little over a year ago. You can so DO this, and MFP is a great tool to help you get there!

    Hi Angie!
    I'm older then you 52) and I have lost 55 lbs in the last year just by changing my diet and exercising 3-4 times a week. I can tell you that when I ate sugar laden foods and or drank Pepsi (my weakness) my appetite was huge and constant. When I cut out the sugar my appetite was repressed so I wasn't constantly hungry. If I can lose the weight anyone can... it was the best thing I've done for myself and I'm so much healthier and happier! Hang in there and stay on myfitnesspal....the support really helps! You can do it!!!

    I am 64. I honestly have done the best with my diet and exercise with a coach or partner. Some one who lives in the household is best I think. Also reading other fitness members post can be motivating. I have ninty five pounds to loose.. I will weight in on my scale on July 1.. I feel I have shed close to ten pouns. I started at 247 I am hoping to be 238.
