I just joined this site a few days ago. I'm 54 years old and I'm sick and tired of being fat and unhealthy and hating the way I look. I decided this is the year to get serious about losing weight. My goal is to lose about 40 pounds. I can't wait to have to go shopping and buy new clothes because my clothes will be too big. :-)

    Welcome:flowerforyou: I just joined also but nobody wants to talk to me:sad: I have recently lost 44 lbs. since August. I am finally able to go to the "regular size" clothing instead of the "Image, double X etc". It feels good, trust me! Had bad knees and now they are 90% better thanks to the lessened load. Good luck You can do it.

    Hello there! You can do it. I am only 29, but I have a total of 80 lbs to lose. I am nearly half way there. This is a great place to get some help and support. You can do it. Take it one "meal at a time" it won't be easy, but you will feel accomplished and better about yourself!!!! GOOD LUCK!

    Are you still enjoying this site?? I love using the food diary to keep me in line on how many calories/carbs/fats/proteins I'm taking in, plus it updates your calorie intake based on your exercise!! :) Since I started this site I've lost 5 pounds, not bad for a little under a month! Good luck!
