New to My Fitness Pal

Hello,
My name is Judy and I am 47 years old and from Ohio, Im writing because I am new to My fitness pal and im actually new to trying to lose weight, yea I have tried before and realized that I wasn't as vested as I thought I was so the 50 lbs I lost just came right back. I am married and my husband also needs to lose weight and eat healthier. Well wish us luck and any tips would be helpful.

    I have some family in Akron so I'm down there every now and then :-)

    I find having MFP friends really helps keep me on track here.
  • Your post could have been written about me. I am 48 and have at least 75 more pounds to lose; however I have already lost over 45lbs before finding MFP. Add me as a friend if you wish, I will help motivate.

    Welcome aboard, Judy. I'd LOVE to have you on board as a friend. I lost 30 lbs. before joining MFP last year and have lost an additional 18. I'm not 47, I'm only 38, but I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes last year. I've taken this VERY seriously and don't intend to go back.

    Hey Judy, I am 43 and have been using MFP for just over a year now. It's been a roller coaster ride at times, but many more ups than downs. If you're looking for support and motivation and willing to return the same, with no other agendas, then by all means feel free to add me. All the best! Dave
