    My name is Barb; I'm fifty some years old and have been on a diet since I was five years old. I find that monitoring my food and exercise helps me to maintain a healthier lifestyle. I had heart surgery about two years ago after being on a vegetarian diet for eight months and losing twenty pounds. I guess it was too little too late. I am a diabetic and have found it difficult to learn how to eat properly as such and to give up the poor eating habits that led me down that path. Over the ten years since I was diagnosed, I have conquered many of the pitfalls though and learned to eat in a healthy manner. I still cheat occasionally, but I think that is a healthier option that cheating constantly. After heart surgery I lost another twenty pounds and have struggled to keep it off. I am on my second weight surge and have to lose 16 pounds to reach my goal weight. I don't have a structured exercise program, but make a conscious effort to add activity to every day: taking stairs instead of elevators, parking far away from the store when shopping, etc. I have lost the same 8 pounds twice in the last three months so I thought I'd start posting and encouraging others. Misery loves company, right? I think we all struggle with common urges so encouragement should promote our mutual success.:drinker:

    Hello,

    Yes, I will be 42 in Sept. I can't believe it. And weighing the most I ever have in my life! I swear the day I turned 40 I gained 10 pounds. What's up with that? And then the next year at 41 years old 5 more pounds. So I've been on MFP since I was 40 and I am back to logging consistently. Trying hard not to eat crap. I'd love some support, feel free to friend request me :) I am 5' 6" and currently 157 pounds and in a size 12 which is uncomfortable. I have 2 girls and I am a stay at home mom. Used to be a Special Ed. Teacher. I'd love to fit back into my jeans by fall! Love to loose 15 - 20 pounds.
