    Hi, my name is Cynthia and yes I am trying to lose over 50 pounds at the age of 51. In the past I have been able too but, the older I get the harder it is. So let's encourage each other and talk on a regular basis and see how each other is doing. Happy losing..

    I am trying to go with clothes size rather than weight, but to get to the dress size I want (going on what I weighed last time I was that dress size!) I need to lose well over 50 lbs.

    :flowerforyou: I'm in the same boat. I started something kind of fun too. I started posting mini goals at the beginning of the week for my MFPals to try then on mons then we update our status' on mon to show how we did, how we felt about it, and any results. All the goals are set so you can do them no matter what level you are. This week is add 15 mins strength training to each of you current workouts. You can still try it. I'll post a new one on sat. I am almost finished with my nursing degree and have taken fitness and nutrition classes so I would be happy to answer any questions you have there too. Best of Luck to you!

    I have at least 80 pounds to lose(probably more like 100 depending upon how I feel once I get to the first goal). I've been at this for not quite two weeks and already feel fantastic. Anyone can add me as a friend too.

    I started out having to lose 78.5 lbs. I've now lost 51.1 lbs!!! Still 27.4 lbs to go, but looking at how far I've come since August 20th 2010, I'm very proud of myself. I've been over weight for half of my life, so I understand the struggle. You can do it! Your mind has to be ready. No one else can tell you to do it when it isn't coming together for you. I had been trying after my 3rd baby to start losing the weight, but I wasn't feeling it, so I struggled and put on the 15 lbs I had lost during my pregnancy. Then, August 20th, everything clicked. I was ready. And look at me now!!! So...if you are truly ready to make that change, you will see results. We are all here to support each other! Good luck!
