Hi,
I live in North Carolina, but am originally from Southern Indiana. I have been overweight almost all my life. I know how to lose weight, but, I often don't succeed, because I get off track just like most dieters do!

    Hi Ellen ....join the club [being 60 & overweight!!]. I began using MFP last April & have lost 35 pounds so far with another 35 to go. Slow & steady has been the principle I follow. You'll be successful!!

    Ditto to that. Better success this time. You have not failed until you give up. I am 62.

    Thanks for replying to my post! And thanks for the encouragement. Congrats on your 35 down. That's great. I hope to lose about 70 pounds, also. Hope we can stay in touch to give each other encouragement!
