    Hi everybody! I'm 49 (50 in July...ugh!!), been on this journey for 4yrs, getting close to my goal but its been slow-goin.I hit a plateau months ago and have been stuck at it since. After some research and talking to fellow MFP friends I have decided to try the LCHF for a while, starting tomorrow. Feel free to add me and I'll keep you updated on my progress. I try to stay active and think I eat pretty healthy anyway--my Achilles heel is sugar, I need to go to sugar-a-holics....seriously!!! So, I'm doing this to get far away from sugar.

    I'm a 54 year old YoYo. Had a HA at 49 - thought that was my wake-up call, but here I am again. MFP has helped me before and this time I have my daughter on board to help keep my from straying. Let's do this!

    Hi,
    I've religiously been using MFP for 1 week for the first time since joining a year or so ago. I'm in my 40's and don't want to go another year not losing the weight I need to lose. I believe that I can do things differently this time on MFP by building a support network and stay accountable to myself. My MFP friend list is short at this point since a lot of my personal friends aren't members. I see the posts from my small network and it gets me motivated. I'm open to friend requests to help anyone else on the same journey.

    Hi, Just started back. At my heaviest and very depressing but going to start holding myself accountable and quit making excuses! Starting to exercise everyday and be aware of what I put in my mouth!

    Hi Sue,
    My name is Shawnna. Like you I had a scare last May. My A1C was high(7.8) and a big wake up call. I was turned down for life insurance because of it. I have a physical scheduled in May so I am hoping A1C goes back to normal, was only about 1/10 point away in February. All other numbers were great. I was a carb/sweet junkie. Over the summer (2013) I lost 23 lbs. November/winter was rough, gained 8 back due to a surgery. I have rode my bicycle as much as I can since doctor released me in January. Winter in Ohio has been tough. I appreciate you sharing your story. I feel like I need stories such as yours to keep motivated. Thank you

    Accountability is the key. No one can do this for us, we have to do it for ourselves. Daily! Every DAY! I am with you on that one.
