    Hi, this is my second time around on MFP and am starting fresh. I,ve been using Weight Watchers with a lot of success but my daughter just joined MFP and wanted me to join her, so here I am. I tend to be very active on the site. Add me if you'd like I'm looking for new friends too.

    Hey we're about the same. You are doing great, already lost 20 pounds! Awesome! I have 38 pounds left to loose, but when I started here last year I had a 100 to loose. I am so happy that now I've lost 62 pounds. When I first started I had the "here we go again" in the back of my mind. Although I was positive outwardly I wasn't so sure inwardly. I'm now out there with the attitude that "I'm doing this!" For the first time in my adult life I'm sure I'm going to be a normal weight again. I'm 58 years old and I am currently lighter than I was when I was 30. That says more about what I weighed at 30 than what I weigh now :laugh: Three more pounds and I will weigh less than I did when I was 25. I'm shooting for my fresh out of USMC boot camp body :happy:

    I have been here before and have lost pounds doing it. I'm back because I lost my goals. We can work together to get it done. I too want to lose 100 Plus pounds. I have been adding to my blog almost daily so if you want to friend up that would be cool. I will not hound you because I had some that was telling me more then I needed to know. But will support you or anyone to keep on track.

    Good luck! and Take one step at a time!

    I've got a total goal of 100 pounds to lose & I'll be 40 this year. I'm setting a few small goals so it doesn't feel so overwhelming & I'm 30 pounds away from my 1st goal. You can never have too much motivation or too many friends so feel free to add me.

    You can add me as a friend if you like. I am 58 - 59 in November - and also have over 100 pounds to lose. I lost 30 pounds in 2013 before joining MFP and getting serious about losing it a bit faster. I have lost 16 pounds so far in 2014. My goal for 2014 is 70 lbs. That will still leave me with plenty to lose but I thought it was a reasonable goal for a year. I don't want to starve myself to do this since I have to be able to live with the way I am eating forever. Best wishes for success in your weight loss efforts.
