    I just turned 50 and decided that it was going to be a marker in my life, Life before, and after, 50. I just started this, but I'm feeling great and looking forward to what 2015 will bring. 2014 is the year I get there.

    Feel free to add me.

    Hi - Just starting here. I am 5"4, 42 and have at least 30 pounds to lose. It seems so daunting. I have never lost that much weight. I had breast cancer at 37 and had about 10 to lose at that time.. now after surgery, chemotherapy and hormone treatment I have gained weight and can't see to get it to budge. I am very unhappy and uncomfortable at this weight. Also, during my last checkup with the Oncologist he really got on to me about my weight and it being a risk factor for cancer recurrance. So here I am trying to get very serious about it. It just really seems impossible. All of the inspiring stories in here are helpful to read through.

    I started last week and my immediate changes are (these are big for me but will add more things in slowly)

    * Following rule of calories in vs calories out (vs, weight watchers, low carb, etc.)
    * Logging everything I eat and drink on myfitnesspass.com (good or bad)
    * Breaking habit of drinking red wine at night during the week
    * Trying to get more than 5-6 hours of sleep at night

    My next step is to add some cardio in. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Add me, if you like - I've been 40 for a few months, and plan on remaining so for quite a few more. I took a hiatus from tracking my calories & exercise late last year, but have been keeping up with it lately.

    48 now. Just started on the site yesterday, and finding it really useful. Have lost 22lb so far without this site but need more encouragement! Doing it for general health reasons, and sooo don't want holiday photos like the ones in September last year. too disgusted to put them on here but they're on the food cupboards, the fridge and in my work locker!!
