    Thank you! I lost weight because I had severe back pain and bad arthritis in my hands , knees and feet that doctors and speicalists could not cure. Do you remember the TV show called The Waltons? Back in February I watched an episode where a plump woman goes to the doctor and he tells her that she has bad feet and a bad back because she is fat! It made me wonder - could it be that all along - that my weight is causing all the trouble? The answer is yes. My arthritis and chronic pain has gone. Some days I could hardly walk. Now I can can run again. I am going to look for your Easter challenge thread :) Thank you. Good luck to everyone wanting to lose weight. It is worth the effort.

    :D Welcome to Opal and Connie, I found MFP at age 62 after a lifetime of struggling with my weight. Because of many attempts to lose weight and a somewhat active lifestyle, my weight had gotten only to 183 but that was too high. This is the first time I've been successful over a long term at losing weight and keeping it off. I keep coming back because I need the support and encouragement of friends who understand what I'm doing and don't try to sabotage my efforts.

    Thanks barbiecat you told us the same thing years ago, But I was too stupid not to really work hard at it. You said it help your back pains, I have suffer for 20 years with back pain. and doctors refuse surgery for me , Just pain pills. So now I am really serious about losing this weight. now the pain is in my hips and back. At my age now I know what the doctors will say. Oh I know if I keep going to different doctors one of them would they would do surgery But doubt it at my age anyway Losing weight is my priority now

    Christmas is not a time nor season, but a state of mind…sort of like "My Fitness Pal."

    Merry Christmas to all!
