Hello, I just joined Fitness Pal & am in the same boat. I finished 17 weeks with Weight Watchers & gained 4 pounds!! I hope that just maybe this avenue will help me & you to loose 80 pounds.0

50 year old trying to lose over 90 pounds. 10 down... 80+ to go. Also, diabetic, psoriatic arthritis which makes exercising difficult to impossible some days. I have two pekingese dogs (13 and 6) and 2 cats. I live in Florida. Would love to have more friends on this journey to talk to. Feel free to send me a message or add me.0

I'm 50 years old and joined mfp just this month. I want to lose 65lbs. to start, but really should lose more like 115lbs. I have been overweight most of my life and quite sedentary. I found mfp by searching for a free weight loss tracker. So far I really like it. I apparently have not been eating enough calories, so logging everything I eat has been eye opening. I have been walking and using an eliptical trainer for exercise. I could use some encouragement too. thanks. C.0

I like that this is such an active thread!! I can't believe how many more posts there have been since I posted this am. For those that have already lost 30 or 40 + pounds, what tips do you have. I'm learning hiw much I've messed up my metabolism by doing diets where I eat less than 1,000 cals or no carbs and lose 20-40 pounds quickly, but then slowly slip back and put that on plus ten more each time. So I see I need to actually eat 1400-1580 cals per day of a balanced diet and will slowly lose 1-1.5 pounds each week.
Other ideas???0 -
Great to know there is someone else out here just like me. I just joined recently, haven't seen any weight loss yet, feeling a bit discouraged. Didn't track at all last week, hard to get motovated.0

I weighed in at my heaviest I was 224, I am down to 209 lbs all by myself I lost 14 lbs I am crazy happy. I am 54, married. Disabeled and trying to get my life back together. I sure could use a fitness friend.:bigsmile:0

Well, I'm 58, and have over 100 lbs to lose. I joined mfp in June I think and almost immediately joined a 10 week slim down club. I'm happy to say it kept me mostly on the straight and narrow over the summer. Weekends are harder, camping with friends and having a few drinks my will power went out the window, but not completely. I'm down 20 odd lbs I think. Going on a month vacation in 2 weeks and eating in restaurants for the entire time will likely do me in, but for now.....I'm going to do my best.
I find that tracking my foods is the best way to lose....even when you go off course....write it down....be accountable.....WE CAN DO THIS......
Please feel free to add me as a friend. I log in daily...in fact several times a day......The more the merrier they say....LOL
Oh, and I live near Edmonton, Alberta, Canada0 -
Hi - Please add me. I will turn 50 in one year and am committed to loosing 50 lbs before I turn 50. I am good at recording my food during the week, but then end up blowing it every weekend.0
