I am trying, yet again, to lose the weight I gained through menopause. I'm feeling pretty terrible about myself and I'm looking for support.

    Feel free to add me as a friend. I'm 67, just lost 12 lbs with 45 to go. Age is a number that doesn't define you! Be gentle with yourself but be tough on those calories

    I'm here too. 50 YO Female. Over the 50 thing. Have 25 to lose. Mad that I let myself get this far off track.

    I'm new to this. How do I add a friend?

    I had a dinner with friends tonight. Terrible for the first day of a diet. Came home riddled with shame. Completely blew it, even though I had a plan and the best of intentions.

    Feeling pretty puny.

    Ugh.

    I did very well throughout the day, however, and should give myself some credit.

    The hardest part of this right now is that I am so ashamed of myself.

    Just turned 50 this year and I know what you mean. I joined this at the suggestion of a friend, and it is working. Weighing food and counting calories really works!

    I am 57 and have a long history of struggling with weight. I'd love to get and give support. Just restarting these necessary lifestyle changes again.
