    Your profile image is nifty. Love your goals. I turned 50 last month, but I tell people I am "Half".

    I'm in. I have about 70 pounds to lose. I am at 194 now but have been as high as 210 when I wasn't pregnant. I have hypothyroidism and take a few other medications that cause weight gain. But now I am not letting that hold me back from exercising and eating right.
    I'm setting small goals with rewards for myself. After the next 10 pounds I will treat myself to highlights in my hair, which I haven't done in 15 years.
    I'm glad I decided to use MFP to help me out on this journey. Add me if you want.

    I have never joined in on a board on MFP.... I have lost 52 lbs in the last year ( I have been stuck for a few months). I want to lose another 60. Maybe joining a group for support will be helpful. Good luck to everyone!

    I'm game. 50 down would put me right where i need to be. I started at 245, I got down to 189 but have been creeping back up again.

    Anyone who wishes too can add me to their FL. The more the merrier.

    Hi, I've just been reading through this thread & it's great to see the determination you guys all have....

    If I may be so bold as to offer some advice - I started out (November 2012) with an intended goal of losing 168lb, I didn't set an over all time limit, I simply decided to celebrate mini goals; my mini goals were 7lb losses (half a stone if you're from the UK) & each time I lost 7lb I booked myself in for a new tattoo - nowadays it has become unnecassary to reward myself & I'll get more ink done as & when finances permit....

    Anyway, I digress.... My advice is don't set timed goals as you may not get there & that can be very demotivating, just set mini goals of amounts of weight - you are human & you will screw up, you will feel dispondant & you will lose your way from time to time; don't allow this to derail you.... This is a long journey & most of us need to take nature breaks when we're travelling a long way - therefor when you hit a wall on your weight loss journey, just go with the flow; if you over indulge - so what, eat better tomorrow; if you feel demotivated - rethink your goals & motivations; if you want to stop the journey & just live a "normal" life - take a break from tracking, test the waters & see if you can actually do this without calorie counting (there's more ways to lose weight than counting calories).

    And most importantly if you look at this as dieting, you are looking at failure - however, if you look at this as a lifestyle (& we all know life can be very unpredictable) then it can't fail.... The only way to fail is to stop trying.

    Incidentally I am now about 20lb short of losing 168lb & I have set myself a timed goal - I would like to lose the remaining 20lb by the middle November this year, because then I will have lost 168lb (12stone) in 24 months, which means I will weigh less than half of my starting weight of 321lb (22st 13lb).

    Anyway good luck to you all - the race is long & in the end it is only with yourself....

    Enjoy the journey, you'll be amazed at what will find out about yourself.

    xXx
