    I want to encourage you. I started about 2 months ago and have lost 19 pounds. I have been overweight since my children were born (the youngest is 23) and never really felt motivated. I kept hearing all the comments that it is impossible to lose weight after 50 so I just kept eating and getting bigger. Finally, I had some high blood sugars and decided to make a change. I had joined a web diet thing last year but all they did was send out articles and stuff on dieting. Heck, I know how to eat right and exercise, I just don't DO it. When I found the app on my Droid for MFP I wasn't convinced (I've tried other apps that offered no real help). This site is different, I can see how many calories, fat, carbs I'm eating at an instance. I can choose how to spend my calories and see that exercise really works. My motto - MOVE MORE - EAT LESS & HEALTHY.

    You can do it!

    hi! this is a great place for constant motivation and support!! feel free to add me if you'd like!

    the only suggestion i have is to make your diary public to at least your friends so we can see what you are eating and how you are exercisinig so we can offer suggestions and helpful advice. i was so focused on calorie count, i had forgotten all about protein, fats, and carbs and one member pointed that out to me......that my calories wern't coming from healthy sources, even tho i was always under my alloted calorie count. once i slapped myself on the forehead and made the adjustment, my weight started coming off quicker! anyways, my point being.....let us view your diary and help you! its the best way to keep yourself accountable!

    you can do this! good luck to you!!!

    I joined last Sunday, so feel free to add me as well if you'd like. Feel free to read my diary and jump on my case when I go way over on my sugar and sodium (I'm trying hard to get those down). Hahahaha.

    I need friends and support here as well. I am just getting the hang of managing the foods I eat and need to become more active.
    I have searched for people and sent out some friend requests but am still friendless here. : (

    I will add some of you here who posted in the forum, hope that's okay!
    Best wishes to everyone. : )
