    Hi. My name is Lore. I'm 55 years old, married and no kids. When I started my life changing eating plan was in December, but didn't know about MFP until about February. So far I've lost 51 pounds and I have a ways to go. Good luck everyone!!

    Thank you! I received your message but I can't copy and paste from my tablet. At least I don't think so

    I would like to join but I do not see the "green" join button. I am 57, married, mother of 2 grown wonderful kids and live in Iowa. I've been a member of MFP for years but haven't done much on the group side. I have good health, but need to get a ton of weight off. Since January I am down 31 pounds. I am finding that I need the support and motivation of people going through the same thing I am. I'm looking at another year of really staying on track before I can move to the maintenance side since I still need to take off another 100 pounds. Good luck to all of you and thanks for the invite you put out there.

    Well I've been sick for 3-4 days but still managed to do my little stationery bicycle thing and to stay almost within calorie goal. However, they put me on a steroid for a week so not sure how that will impact my weight loss but as of right now I am down 31 lbs total. Feels good to move off the twenties! Hopefully the move to lost forties will come a lot quicker. Good luck to everyone and hope this rain stops soon so we here in Iowa can get back to walking along the Mississippi River. Have a great day everyone!
