Hello, my name is Jeannie and am just starting out and would like to lose approximately 80 pounds. I am 51 years old and having hard time losing weight. Would welcome friends, support and any advice you may have.

    Take a before picture! Take one today/ASAP so you can look back on your triumph and show others it can be done. Double check the amounts you are adding to your food diary (1 oz versus 1 piece or 1 cup).

    Hi! I'm just starting today too and we have really similar stats. I'm 48 and would like to lose about 80 lbs. too. Maybe we can motivate each other?
