If you were born in the 60s and need a buddy?

Hi there, I a 1966er... working hard at getting my body back before I hit the big five-O. Always happy to make new friends who share a common goal. I'm in Australia so have no concept of what 130 pounds is but I am sure I can find a converter to work it out. I have been working at this for only 10 weeks and have lost 16kg so far (I think you multiply that by 2.2 to work out pounds??). To reach my 'ideal weight' I've got another 18 to go but for me it's not about the number on the scale... already gained more energy and dropped three dress sizes so whatever happens from here I'll be happy with.

1969 here, I have also lost weight before but I tend to get complacent and fall back into bad habits. I could use friends also!

Hi I am also a 68er and would love to add new friends. Feel free to add me.

Hi, 1965. I have lost and gained weight over the years. I am now at my heaviest weight. I am currently 189 pounds. I have started a Mom and daughter yoga class and walk my dogs daily except in this rain it shortens a lot. I would like to lose 30 pounds. I like your trackers. I am going to try to find one for myself.

Hi...1968 here. I've been overweight much of my adult life and have gone up and down several times. I used Weight Watchers before but I really like this better. It is way easier to use. I originally signed up for an account here back in 2011 and came back in Fall of 2013 after having been on WW for a few months and deciding I didn't want to pay for it anymore. I have about 20 more pounds to lose. I was sort of at a stand still for a while but managed to maintain my loss but am actively trying again to lose the rest of this weight. I don't know that I've ever posted before so we'll see. This may be my 1st post in this community!

feel free to add me, 1967 ! I lost 50+ pounds, gained back 20+. I'm recommitted to lose this weight !

Let's do this - 1966 here and added you.

67er here have 75lbs to lose and looking for buddies to keep me motivated. Just starting my journey we can do it together.

hey! 1965, and I'm not sure how much I have to lose, because I refuse to get on the scale until I drop a pants size! But I had previously lost over a hundred pounds and I know I've gained at least half of it back.

Like someone else said, I mainly want to get it together before I turn 50 in a couple of years. Not that the number is the most meaningful thing, but I'd like to be strong and healthy when I hit that milestone.

Would love to be added by anyone in this group!

1960 here! I have been on this plan for since August of 2013 and lost 21 lbs. I would like to lose another 40. I must admit I have really slipped over the holidays and my exercise plan got derailed. I gained back only 2 pounds and I would like to get back on track before it gets worse.

1967....I need serious motivation. I want to drop 70lbs. My starting weight is 198lbs. I'm only 5'5" tall so this is not a good look for me. 2 years ago I was 20lbs to my goal and my world fell apart and I have been on the coach ever since. I'm tired of being fat and I am making a change today!!! I initial lost my weight on a slow carb diet. This time I want to go full on with a ketogenic diet. I could use some best practices if anyone is doing the same diet.

Hi, I'm 1970 and feel like I have a lot in common with this thread! I lost 25 pounds on weight watchers, have been off it for 18 months, and gained it all back! It seems like if I'm not actively trying to lose weight I just keep gaining.....another month, another pound....so frustrating! Please feel free to add me as a friend and if anyone knows how to make a group I think all of the responders here would make a great group! I created an account here last year but did not do anything with it. I have just been active for the last 5 days here and plan to stay on....looking for friends!

I do tend to struggle on the weekends as well and not make as good of choices as I do during the week. I don't have as much structure and have more time at home which leads to me sometimes not choosing the best things to eat. When I go to work I pack my lunch and snacks so it is more controlled and less available!

1967 here too!
Sounds like so many of us have taken this journey before...
may 2014 start the end of the cycling!!
I am half way to my goal- down 35 and about 30 to go.
I have been lurking on the site for a couple of months but have decided to get more involved instead of just watching everyone.
Would love to have the support.
I am a shift worker- a nurse- so weekends don't really exist per se for me- but my working days bring the most temptation. Especially night shifts and fatigue- I could eat anything that is not tied down.
