in Introduce Yourself
HI there all of you awesome MFP's. This is my second time around on here. I could keep coming up with all the excuses as to why it didn't work, but it all comes down to I WAS THE CULPRIT. Determined to make a lifestyle change to become healthier and fit.
My birthday is in June and have a lot of goals to reach by then. Looking for others to motivate and inspire as we go through this journey together. "If it is to be...it's up to me."

:flowerforyou:

    Good luck to you and welcome back. =)

    I wish I did it when I was 49, I waited till I was 54 8/2012 and I decided to get healthy before I turned 55. I'm so happy I did it now. =)

    I hit 50 in February. My journey to slim down is not directly related to the birthday, but it will be a milestone along the way.

    I turned 50 just recently. I find turning 50 is motivating me to work harder and smarter on my tracking and exercise. I find turning 50 has also caused me to become more spiritual.

    I want to be healthy as I age. I've seen in others the terrible health issues that occur when aging meets up with obesity and a lack of exercise. It's sad really. Good luck with your journey in 2014. Friend request on it's way.

    Hi! I just turned 50 this year and I am bound and determined to make 2014 my year of weight loss. I need to lose about 50 pounds. I am coming back to my finess pal after a period of slacking off. I would love to have a friend on here to check in with or just give/get: encouragement when needed! We can do this! :smile:

    I am also a repeat offender! I am determined to make it this time! I will be 50 in September, and need to take charge once and for all.
    I sent you a friend request. And I could use lots of support so anyone on this thread, feel free to add me!

    54 next month - but going down fighting!
    2013 was a good year: lightest weight since my 20's, fittest I've been since my 30's, hoping 2014 will see me as strong as I was in my 20's too.

    Don't let age be an excuse.

    Turn 52 in March but my body doesn't know it....lol
    Just got on here. I want to firm up and lose 13 pounds by the end of February. A pound a week.
    We are only as inspired as the company we keep. Hang in there. Focus on the goal.
