    Hi from NZ Mary. All the best with your journey. I have only been going a few weeks and find it great. Be honest and write everything down and I find most importantly......check in daily. Good luck. Cheers Sean

    Hi Mary. You can do this! Like Sean said, log everything. Then you can add or subtract calories to get to your goal.

    Thank you very much ! It's encouraging to be able to talk to people who are going through the same thing... All of my friends and female co- workers are extremely thin and do not understand lol.

    Oh god, I hear you. I need to drop 10 at the very least. I have been talking about this mid life crisis for the last year (just turned 40) but nobody seems to understand! Ugh.

    Just turned 40 too. Been hitting the gym hard for over 2 months now and am starting to see results. I'll be your friend. I am 10 lbs from my goal weight currently.

    I was super skinny too until after the age of 40. In 2 years I've had some on switch that has been slowly piling the pounds on me.
